Stuporpatriots is being run by Columbia University Equipment and Servers

The Stuporpatriots website is being run by someone very close, if not inside the Journalism school.

I have to wonder what the the President of the school, Lee C. Bollinger, or the Executive VP for Finance, Albert Horvath, would think about this should this hit their radar. I wonder if they would attempt to cover this up or protect their investors from finding out that illegal actions are being taken on the equipment they pay for.

Go check out the Stuporpatriots website and ask yourself if you were paying the kind of tuition that parents pay to send their children to Columbia, would you want to be paying for criminal behavior? Computers and computer equipment and personnel to run it all don’t come cheap, and although the students might think this is ‘free speech’, go and take a look at the ‘free speech’ we’re talking about here.

From the New York Times:

New York University and Columbia have each received donations of about $200 million, among the largest to academic institutions in recent years. The gifts, from different donors, come as both universities try to compete with rivals that have far larger endowments.

Do you suppose these millions of dollars of donations would be pouring into these Universities if their donors knew they were paying for these privileged students to use the University’s equipment for illegal online harrassment and cybercrimes?

The picture above is the sitemeter reading from the Stuporpatriots site that shows Columbia University posted my autotrack information.

Notice the “referring URL”. This portion of the sitemeter reading indicates that they were publishing a blog entry from the blog’s control panel on December 17, the date that my personal autotrack information went up on their site and was there for a full 10 days.

What is autotrack? Here’s an explanation from the choicepoint website:

Investigative Intelligence Starts Here

Using as little information as a name, AutoTrackXP cross-references an enormous amount of data - addresses, driver licenses, property deed transfers, corporate information and much more - and unifies it into a single, easy-to-read report. It can even access real-time phone listings and perform on-demand court record searches.

What are the requirements to use choicepoint or to run an autotrack report?

Can I become a subscriber?

CPPRG only serves government agencies and legitimate businesses. CPPRG does not distribute information to the general public.

That is…unless when one of your subscribers decides to break the rules of this agreement.

Obviously, security is an important issue facing any company that heavily depends on computers. At CPPRG, we take the issue of making sure your information is secure very seriously.

We require all of our employees and contractors to sign confidentiality agreements at the outset of their employment. Also, we have measures in place to track our employees’ usage of our databases to become aware of potential problems. Finally, we require all employees to undergo Security and Privacy Training programs to remind them of the importance of this issue.

Something they didn’t take very seriously, obviously.

CPPRG has several ways to detect potential misuse of non-public information by our subscribers, including you. If you are concerned that a subscriber of CPPRG has used your non-public information in a manner inconsistent with our policies, please do not hesitate to contact CPPRG’s Client Support at the address above.

CPPRG takes claims of misuse seriously and takes steps to correct or stop violations. All complaints are referred to the appropriate CPPRG officer. We review the violation and take steps to ensure misuse does not occur again, up to and including terminating a subscriber’s service.

Locateplus is the company that ran the report that was posted on the Stuporpatriots site. Locateplus has terminated their account.

LocatePLUS’ pay-per-click service (PPC)* is for credentialed individuals, government agencies, law enforcement, and businesses that have a specific and legitimate need to locate individuals or validate information.

Apparently they’ve determined that privacy rules were violated with that December 17 blog entry and shut that individual’s account down.

There is no question that Columbia University equipment and servers are being used to run the Stuporpatriots website.

They recently posted that I was fired from Allstate for using Allstate resources for personal use. This is a lie. But there are so many lies in their posts, it’s difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.

Because of the unsubstantiated lies and claims they’re spreading using Columbia University Equipment, that blog needs to be taken down.

Blogger determined that Stuporpatriots violated their privacy agreement and took the blog entry off the web, but I still have a copy of it along with the email exchange between myself and blogger.

In spite of the Stuporpatriots claiming total ‘innocence’, the facts demonstrate that they have total ignorance of the law and the agreements they entered into with Locateplus and blogger/pyra/google when they put that site up to begin with.

    These trust fund kids need to grow up first of all!also,they need to start reading the fine prints of agreements that they enter into,that goes without saying now!But,Cao you have to remember this school is made up of a bunch of radical lefists,who don’t think the laws of the land are supposed to apply to them;it only applies to other people!These spoiled brats and their presidents are going to have to learn that crime doesn’t pay.:roll:I do have one question though,is Columbia private or public?

  3. Cao Says:

    To my knowledge, it’s a ‘private’ University, and it’s part of the Ivy League which includes Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale. Supposedly they have absolutely no athletic scholarships and admission is based solely on merit.

    From Wikipedia:

    The Ivy League institutions are privately owned and controlled. Although many of them receive funding from the federal or state governments to pursue research, only Cornell has state-supported academic units, termed statutory colleges, that are an integral part of the institution.

    So…because they’re “private” does that mean they’re exempt from complying with the law? Not according to their guidelines for online behavior!
