As past lawsuits of copyright infringement loom over the owner of Singsnap and partners and with a new harassment lawsuit on the way, Singsnap owner Trevor McGuire seems nervous or perhaps paranoid in his dealings with members lately and his crazy ideas of them plotting against him. In the past, McGuire wasn't present in the lives of the members themselves. He would show up once in a while on the message boards or on camera with a greeting or announcement of some sort.
Nowadays, we're learning Trevor has been harassing his paying customers in private communications with accusations of "copy and paste" when it comes to his posts and his belief that he "owns" every letter types on his beloved site.
Recently, a much loved member and a three account paying customer was banned permanently from the site, accused of copying and pasting posts from the message boards. Say what?
Not only was this much liked member paying Mr. McGuire $36 (USD) per month for services, but had never cause any harm or discontent on the site in the years since they'd become a member.
Many before now have come forward with similar stories of being banned from the karaoke site without cause and certainly without getting any of their money back, sometimes having been paid up for an entire year in advance.
To date, this particular story has been the worst, showing exactly what kind of a crappy businessman and person McGuire is.
Below, find the private communication between Trevor McGuire and the loyal member.

Dear Trevor,
I am sincere about wishing to try out the new SingSnap mixer. If there are already enough persons testing it I will understand. When you did not respond to my request I figured you were busy...and Krud and I were just entertaining ourselves...all in good fun.
Happy SingSnapping evening to you.
Regards,

Do you intend to offer an explanation? Particularly for copying my last post? I assumed you think I was bluffing bu I am not. I get a message like this when a post is copied:
Copied by: Azurelle
"you could imagine. Their behavior is incomprehensible and criminal. I know who they are, where they are and what they have done. They will be dealt with in due course and that is all I am willing to say about that at the moment.
To copy from my site, whether video’s or message board posts, not only violates my TOS and COC but it is illegal. All content here is my intellectual property. I am not interested in anyone’s feedback on this point as I am extremely well versed in intellectual property, copyright and litigation. If you participate in this particular activity make sure you have a willingness to spend money to defend yourself and that your pockets are deeper than mine should I decide to do something about it.
I will use any and all resources at my disposal to further and defend my SingSnap ideal. I put in place the ability to monitor who copies which posts from these threads. Yesterday, midday, several posts were copied. This morning at 1:57 am a few more posts were copied. Given that they were primarily posts made by Shanda, I have no doubt as to the intent.
I would like the person who did this to contact me to explain their actions. This is your opportunity to explain yourself prior to my banning your account."
From: "General Rants" -> "What Offends You?"
On May 28 (about 8 hours ago), you said:
Dear Trevor,
I don't appreciate being accused of this. Also, I don't appreciate feeling threatened by your message to me. I am a loyal SS paying customer and have always enjoyed being a part of this community whether I agree or disagree with anyone.
Respectfully,
*****

I am not threatening you. You were caught copying posts. These posts are being used on the hate site. I am asking for an explanation.
On May 28 (about 5 hours ago), you said:
Dear Trevor,
As I told you above, I agree to disagree with many people. I also enjoy reading the posts on the boards and participating in the same capacity that others do.
How anything gets posted on other sites I am not privy to.
Nor do I have anything to do with hate or hate sites. Contrary to what you or others may think. I have private conversations that you are privy to and can verify that.
Most of what I have to say in Private is just that...private.
I am a loyal member on SingSnap and have met many wonderful people here that I call friends.
No further explanation should be required. I am very upset at your persistence in questioning me about this matter and consider the matter closed.
You will not see me adding any of my thoughts on the Offends Thread and any other threads...because I truly find that most of what is said is offensive to me and as a member of the SingSnap community. Again, I agree to disagree and keep my thoughts in Private.
My time and money spent on here would best be spent singing and ignoring the message boards.
Sincerely,
*****

Karen - you were the only one who copied these posts. You made a point of copying my post.
You have been banned from the message board so you are unable to post. I intend to ban you from the site but I wanted to give you a chance to explain your actions.
End of private communications.
As a spokesperson for our site, this Singsnap member is not nor has ever been a member on our site. This Singsnap member This loyal paying member of Singsnap has never emailed us or visa versa. Hear that SHANDA?
After a few days of finding out they were permanently banned, we finally learned of what transpired between Trevor McGuire and this member and were disgusted.
Not only is this narcissistic man wrong on so many levels but he's paranoid and basically off his rocker in our very humble opinion.
We are also of the opinion he is a lousy businessman, choosing to take money out of his pocket instead of putting money in.
We were also wondering if his partners are aware of his harassment and shoddy business practices? If they don't, they will soon.
He has accused past non-staff members of treason. Again, say what?
He has labeled past members as haters who only had legitimate complaints about the site and demanded better treatment by staff and volunteers. He chooses to now spend his time chasing shadows and the idiotic psychopathic thoughts and delusions of Shanda Maddox/Lancaster.
In conclusion we believe it might behoove him to worry about his own skin instead of threatening paying members.
We know Shanda will be Trevor's biggest downfall.
Does he?
Well Brenda,
Unfortunately, "his site" and "his rules" will be getting him sued for harassment by another former member for giving a private video to a regular member (that has no legal right to it) and posting it on Youtube (one of our other complain site reports) where it stayed for nearly three weeks and anyone could make a copy of this video during that time. Since the video is of the member in her underwear and NOT meant for the public whatsoever, the owner who abides by "his rules and with it being "his site" will pay out a huge sum of money to get out of this one and is in quite a hellofva mess.
The member who got a hold of the video will be arrested within the next few weeks.
I'd say "his rules" and the "his site" thing aint workin for him huh?
Gee Brenda and Ramelle, hang out at Singsnap much? Lol If there's nothing wrong about posting that video then I guess the arrest warrants being signed and going out are frivilous in your opinion then? I guess the lawyers and judges don't know as much as you two? We all should take lessons from the two of you who go around and comment on peoples posts that you know absolutely nothing about. Until you know the entire story and have all the facts about every person and every detail involved, I'd refrain from commenting.
The member did NOT post the God damn video.
Oh, we know Singing Sam. It gets so old when someone constantly threatens to sue and nothing ever happens. Sheesh. You know what? You should come back here and tell us how you feel in a little while. Give us an update. We'd love to hear from you again.
Sam will be a little too busy to prance like a fat peacock soon. Won't cha Sam?
I find it odd that in one sentence Trevor says. I get a message like this when a post is copied:
Copied by: Azurelle. Then he says Yesterday, midday, several posts were copied. This morning at 1:57 am a few more posts were copied. Given that they were primarily posts made by Shanda, I have no doubt as to the intent.
I would like the person who did this to contact me to explain their actions. So which is it you either know by your so called device installed or you don't really know other than Shanda telling you who it could have been. And that is because Shanda can't seem to get that no one cares what she thinks or who she hates. And she the huge advocate against hate is hating on SingSnap. You are all a bunch of hypocrites. And reality check, singsnap is not a cult. It is a business where people pay their hard earned money to enjoy not be harassed.
Let me say first of all, your honesty and integrity is greatly appreciated. Then let me tell you all how it feels to be banished from a community that you have been a member and patron of for almost 3 years. With no warnings, no suspensions, no problems - nothing but loyalty and mutual enjoyment with other SS members.
After you are banished...
You look for your friends and fans to come and console you...but they cannot because you are blocked from receiving PM's.
You look at your fave list and see who's on line and if they did any new songs. Then you go listen to them and feel like crap because you cannot comment.
You cry and remember all the good things that SS is and all the memories, songs and contributions you made sincerely and from your heart.
Your performances are gone but your Nickname is still Green and says you are a Patron.
You go to your profile page and hope that it looks the way it was before your were banished...but it does not...it says..."This Account Has been closed by SingSnap Staff."
You find your Nic picture is replaced with a horrid tasteless graphic.
You receive e-mails from SS reminding you the payment is due soon for those you sponsored.
You try to make sense out of the nonsense but cannot.
It is all too real and hits your musical heart hard.
I could tell you more of what a loss I feel but I believe, anyone that has been banned knows personally all to well. I believe that the membership of SingSnap feels a great loss when someone is banned. I wonder how the owner and President of SingSnap would feel if the members and investors that filled his deep pockets banned him?
Signed,
Banned Member
ramelle I think the folks are sayin the woman who put the video on youtube is already going to be arrested so they already know a crime was committed. if you read thru everything they say that video was stashed in a closed acct where none of the vids were public. if you go to the web site manthissitesucks and read the entire story, that video was locked away inside that closed acct for a year before the woman even beca, e a member of the same web site. since she got her hands on it because of the owner or a staff member and she used is for harassment, she will be arrested and the staff member and owner will be held accountable as well. you cant get away with internet harassment anymore. theyre crackin down on it.
and wow archerop. what a class act you are!
People get a life! 87 comments on topics you know ### about. Do you spend all day here posting? It seems that way lol. And you can take care of women? I doubt that highly
Why come undone when you haven't a clue about this topic?
That video was hilarious and I downloaded a copy to use at some point and time I will say on e thing that sexy it ain't.Who wants to see some old lady prancing around in a thong attempting to bolster her self image of someone who is young and hot.Old and cold is more like..I may submit it to 'America's Funniest Home Videos'.The subject in that video posted it on a public web site to begin with and now the coppers are coming to some-body's door.Those constant threats to sue and have everybody arrested is sure getting old like the gal in that video.Now that klittle pup in the picture is sexier than the bag lady in that video.
I heard it through the grapewhine Singing Sam got tied up singing a thong and can't reply at this time. Yes I would love to hear Singing Sam belt out a thong...I am sure he tweets like a chickadee and prances like a peacock ...if he would copy and paste his link here we could all go over and give him a listen.
Singing Sam says, "How do you like this thong?"
It's called the porn polka yodel:"Diddle yo mama and your old lady too"
omgggggggggg these people are in deep ###...

Excerpt from original post: "He chooses to now spend his time chasing shadows and the idiotic psychopathic thoughts and delusions of Shanda Maddox/Lancaster."
THIS IS LIBEL.
fantastic quotes:

In short these negative postings are untrue...If you are interested in reading more about this, Google SingSnapSucks and visit the site.
Unfortunately, SingSnap, some of it’s staff, members and it’s founder, Trevor McGuire have become the victim of a smear campaign by a
small group of disgruntled ex-members who spread vicious lies, accusations and conduct personal attacks. They hide behind the protection of various open complaint boards and anonymous Internet identities.
Oh Brother again? Will you people ever STFU?
Yes it's all lies! SingSnap is innocent. They are the victims of a smear campaign lol. Yes people decide for yourself! Who looks more desperate here? I would say Singsnap does.
And we all think you are the disgruntled people not anyone you have made up in your minds.
Give it a rest!
hahahahahahahahaha i think its rich for singsnap to say...'they hide behind the protection of various open complaint boards and anonymous Internet identities"
I mean what a laugh man. Its shanda, katie and then trevor who TOLD those two idiots what to post and say all the while they used multiple numerous fake indentities THEMSELVES. who in the flying f*** do these singsnap reps think they are saying this when theyve got ### members and an ### owner who hide behind a gazillion fake nics to harass many many people online?
dont ### about it snap, when your own members are doing it DAILY. shut the flying f*** up

The internet has provided a forum where etiquette has flown the coop with the chickens.My own personal preference is to have every person who utilizes the web to use their own name.I know that is impossible but at least it forces people to own their words rather than talk smack clandestinely.
I agree with the poster that stated that comments are redundant now with the same individuals day in and day out spouting the same rhetoric and name calling.
I wonder if calling people and corporations silly names makes the writer feel superior and special because they use a few buzz words.If people were to use the web as they would in a personal conversation, the need for moderating and supervision would largely be eliminated.
Multiple IDs serve no purpose other than to further allow people to rant, rave and accuse without having to own their words.I use my full name except when not allowed by a particular web site and I have only been sued once and that lawsuit is being dismissed as we speak.The long arm of the law can determine who anybody is on the web if the need arises and is warranted so to think that mirrors and proxies are a safeguard is a misguided effort and advice to pass out to less knowledgeable users.

Will McGuire turn around and sue Dickerson?
For the record, the lawsuit against Lawrence A Dickerson is not in the process nor will it be "dismissed." The lawsuit is in settlement negotiations, defendants' petitions for dismissal having been denied.
For the Record, defendant's petition's for dismissal have only been made moot because the plaintiff's filed an amended suit, new petitions by the defendant's have been stayed awaiting the results of settlement negotiations.
@Be Honest Okay?
If you will check out the postings on Pacer, you will find that the petitions for dismissal were denied, not made moot. Should settlement terms not be agreed upon, they are then free to refile them, with likely the same result. The default judgments were made moot by the judge's generosity.
From Pacer:
11/28/2011
ORDER THAT DEFT TREVOR MCGUIRE'S MOTION TODISMISS (DOC #9), DEFT CATHERINE LOUDON'S MOTION TO DISMISS (DOC #10) AND DEFT LAWRENCE DICKERSON'S MOTION TO DISMISS (DOC #12) ARE DISMISSED AS MOOT. ( SIGNED BY HONORABLE WILLIAM H. YOHN, JR ON 11/28/11. ) 11/29/11 ENTERED AND COPIES MAILED TO PRO SE AND UNREPS, E-MAILED.(gn, ) (Entered: 11/29/2011)
You're right. I apologize for mis-reading. However, being dismissed as moot is pretty much a semantics issue, isn't it?
Is it?
I would say there is a big difference between saying they were denied and saying they were dismissed as moot, particularly in legal terms.
When posting a personal opinion of a very active legal case, it would be better to post actual fact, rather than make things up as you go along. The truth is out there as you can see. Yes you mis-read, so with regards to re-filing the outcome might not be the same.
@Be Honest Okay?
And what are the facts telling you now?!
Singsnap is an EVIL site. I am an Ex member who was picked on by SS Staff and banned from the Site. I wrote message after message to trevor who just handed me over to staff members...there was favouritism towards certain members and if you spoke up about them they shut you up by banning you. Spiritualinfusion
I don't miss the place at all.
singsnap staff tried to keep my gold membership up after they suspended me according to somebody they were using me to teach others a lesson, ever since I got suspended my money on pay pal has been suspiciously removed and my account messed with, my family on facebook got told to get that crazy ### ### off of the internet for good pissing off facebook owner and staff I might add and constantly youtube staff and admins have to keep defending me and telling a member of singsnap to f off or go to hell cause they keep ordering them not telling not asking ORDERING the staff and admins of youtube to delete my videos and suspend my channel further having youtube admins and staff like my ### :)
on singsnap sucks.com I was constantly put down because I became a member of manthissitesucks.com when asked by a friend a very good friend to join it, and I'd rather trust this friend with my life than singsnap with my money after hearing of from blue members they are getting bullied and threatened to become a gold member or else they won't be popular or get their songs listened too and one even got told every time you sing your recording will be gone the next day and your page blank, and even some gold members were being threatened and messed with also, I had a gig at a county fair I was at and a member of singsnap was there and I talked about my new karaoke site that idiot from singsnap tried to throw ### at me saying your a traitor to singsnap, I grabbed the mic back and said ### I haven't been a singsnap member for 6 months now since I got suspended for defending somebody who a singsnap staff member's favorite ### kisser put their link on the message board and said they sucked don't listen to them, and I was a faithful member for six years and the last 2 years of of my life on singsnap thanks to the staff ###ing with me all the time was pure hell nobody listened to me cause they were told not too, even my friends was afraid to listen to me and when I got suspended my friends who had music network sites got told to either suspended me get rid of me or else do not use singsnap tracks that person that told them that got told to go to hell you own singsnap not this site and we'll have anybody on our site we want .
so now some of the compaint boards on here have singsnap members who formally are of singsnapsucks going from complaint board to complaint board ### and telling lies about my friends who have music network sites such as muzic driven telling all kinds of ### lies about them they let them come on the wordpress.com site singsnapsucks and let them praise singsnap but behind their backs on these kinds sites they talk ### about them, two faced sob's who can't seem to get anything right when it comes to the truth and the truth is MONEY TALKS AND ### WALKS even if you were on singsnap when it first started they don't ###ing care, you talk bad about a favorite member of the staff or fight with a favorite member of the staff or say bad things about a favorite member of the staff YOUR ###ED !
singsnap ###ed me over for a favorite member of the staff rather than take the word over somebody who's been there since they started !
when it was invite only now they gotten so damn big thinking their favorite members are gonna be discovered on their site by SIMON COWELL of x-factor and american Idol fame they let their favorite ### kissers do practically anything they want
i used to love singsnap, now I just wish somebody would give it a trojan horse so bad it blows up all the staff members computers to hell and back !
I got used and abused by singsnap they wanted my friends from bix and ksolo and singshot and after they got it I was ###ed over by money and power that they gave their ### kissers
I was betrayed and hurt by singsnap now I just wish I could punch one of them in the mouth and bust their teeth out
for the way I was treated the last two months of singsnap and afterwards .
and if any ### from singsnap ever, ever writes to my family again telling them that I need committed and that they should get me off of the internet for good I will write to mark zuckerman the owner of facebook and tell them somebody from singsnap wrote to my family again and he assured my family on facebook that he will get rid of everything that has to do with singsnap on facebook and BAN IT ALL BLOCK IT FROM FACEBOOK FOR GOOD
KARAOKE IS FOR FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT AND SOME OF YOU JUST TOOK IT OUT OF CONTEXT AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTROL .
THAT'S THE PROBLEM SINGSNAP STAFF CANNOT CONTROL MY ### ANY MORE
I sing where I want and what ever I want and singsnap can't do a ###ing thing about it
excuse my lanugage to the god fearing posters on here but I am really pissed off at how some people keep coming site after site after site trying to belittle the suspended members and make them out to be the bad guys .
I'll tell ya one thing good about singsnap suspended me
NOW I GOT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD LISTENING TO ME AND GIVING ME AWESOME COMMENTS ABOUT MY SINGING .
when a member of singsnap told me on facebook to quite trying to get back on singsnap be cause I couldn't sing that good anyways .
and all my friends all hundred of them on fandalism.com think that the person that told me that is out of their friggin mind and needs [censor]ed slapped because they totally are tone deaf when it comes to me .
I GOT MORE PEOPLE COMMENTING ON MY SONGS NOW THAN I EVER DID ON SNGSNAP,
so here is some advice for suspended members of singsnap that love to sing
KARAFUN.COM
FANDALISM.COM
and tell them LADYMATIKA SENT YOU
and yes ### kissers of singsnap I STILL USE LADYMATIKA
SINGSNAP DOESN'T OWN MY NAME
IT'S MY NAME I'VE BEEN LADYMATIKA SINCE 98 WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THE INTERNET AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY IS EVER GONNA CHANGE THAT
CAUSE I GOT IT PUT ON MY DRIVERS LICENSE ALSO
HELL EVEN GOT A TATTOO THAT SAYS LADYMATIKA
somebody the other day said they could get me back on singsnap I told them don't bother I don't want back on there I like my life now and I intend on keeping it
I only pay 10 bucks a month 7 bucks on holidays to sing any song I want
why the hell would i go back to paying a hundred and seventy bucks to be a gold member to sing, WHY WHY WHY ?
because of my friends, I got music networks to talk and have fun with them also got youtube.com to listen and talk to them,
to have people listening to me sing, again I got youtube and my favorite site Fandalism.com for that, and every week my songs get rated high marks 30 comments and 30 props a week when i put up a song .
only thing I got from singsnap is told I ###ing suck heard better singing from a dog,
and the staff they waited till my ### got suspended before putting up the songs that I requested a year or two ago, when I do that on my new karaoke site, they get it the next day, including the artists singsnap cannot get due to their license, yeah see a staff member told me all about who they can and cannot get due to the license agreement they have in the united states, every song they told me every artist they said they cannot get I have my new karaoke site karafun.com get and show it off on facebook .
so you can praise ceasar all you want to go ahead and kiss singsnap staffs ### all ya want, but remember this while your listening to billy joel on youtube wishing singsnap had that song, one of these times you look at the different videos for billy joel and you just might see LADYMATIKA1STUDIOS singing one of his songs and smiling up a storm knowing singsnap cannot get that song due to the license in the united states .
so go on and kiss ### honey cause I don't have to any more nor do I have to take ### from them any more .
There is an easy way to take action against companies that harass their paying customers, start up a "sucks" site and provide a voice for legitimate customer complaints, it's the American way! Encourage your friends to boycott the company on social media, hit em in the pocket book...
On August 25th, 2011 a lawsuit was filed against SingSnap.com founder and CEO Trevor McGuire as well as three other members of the SingSnap website. This lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania Federal Court by Diane Patchen and her fiancé Robert Smik, alleged, among other things, a conspiracy to defame and copyright infringement. Eatsleepmusic Corporation, owner of SingSnap, was later added as a defendant.
Diane Patchen was banned from the SingSnap community in February of 2010 and soon after made numerous inaccurate posts around the web regarding Mr. McGuire and his business. Filing this lawsuit against him was, Mr. McGuire believes, the culmination of her vendetta. As soon as the lawsuit was filed, it was publicized on dozens of Internet complaint boards by anonymous posters.
McGuire and SingSnap immediately retained counsel to fight these ridiculous and baseless allegations.
On September 27th, 2012 the Judge William H. Yohn Jr. of the United States District Court DISMISSED all of the Plaintiff’s claims and Denied the motion for severance and transfer of the claims as “not in the interests of justice” because the claims were “frivolous”. The parties later resolved the litigation, including motions by McGuire and Eatsleepmusic Corporation seeking sanctions and their attorneys’ fees, to the satisfaction of all parties.
