Uhm, an awkward question. How do you go about getting a non-responsive site creator to take down your name & content? Anything short of paying a lawyer? And would that even that do anything?
Issue is some guy decided to use my Candy in the Van picture for a comedy article on some hipster art-and-articles site a few years back. Only he's such a bad writer that it sounds like the timecube guy wrote it (I guess if you write something so shittily incoherent only you find it funny, it'll always stay indie!). Worse, now when you search my name in google it looks like I'm attached to some crazy rambling defense of NAMBLA.
I have already sent emails asking nicely but there's no reply (tellingly, there's no site admin or individual member contact - only a submissions email address).
Sooooo, because I would like to be able to, you know, ever pass a pre-interview screening anywhere ever again, I want the guy to just take my damn name down (hell he could even keep the picture if it game down to it, so long as my name didn't come up on the google results).
I mean, it at least links to my actual source page, so anyone who find it via Google can in fact link to the source and see with about thirty seconds reading that the picture is harmless. But it doesn't look like that when the Google search hits your eyes and I can't count on random people I've never met to be that diligent. This is not something I really want to take chances with. Nor do I want to wait around until it actually bites me on the ass to deal with it.
Sure, maybe no one here has any answers, but I figured I'd ask, just 'cause I really don't know what to do or try next.
