LIAR, LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
Remember the days when playing hopscotch or marbles, perhaps even skipping rope or playing softball? Think about those times when you found out one of your playmates told a big fat lie about; say one of your best friends. Discovering that this playmate deliberately told an untruth to hurt your friend, I recall clearly the chant that rang out by all the gang, liar, liar pants on fire. Children, by all counts, have a truthful way of dealing with situations with no preconceived biases. As the saying goes, they tells it like they sees it. Well now as adults, we find in this convoluted world, a blatant attempt to smear, lie and to try to destroy a friend that has been an advocate for victims of fraudulent activity by the perpetrator of the activity and we in concert cry foul.
This blistering article written by David Phillips of Fine Art Registry® entitled When Smear Campaigns Lie, they Backfire on the Smearer, reveals a totally disturbing story of how Park West Gallery attempted to shut up investigations into their less than forthright dealings. But in this case we can all rejoice in the fact that the liars, that went to enormous lengths to hide their deeds, have been flushed out into the light of day for the entire world to see.
Park West Gallery is linked to a slimy PR firm that hijacked the Fine Art Registry domain name by creating aboutfineartregistry.com, in an attempt to divert traffic to this pseudo site and then do all in its power to defame and smear the trusted trademark of FAR®. Adding insult to injury, they then touted the sterling virtues of Park West Gallery and their associates with links to their respective sites.
FAR was not about to take this lying down and through some very savvy friends, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the FAR Patent and Trademark Attorney, the investigation began in earnest.
