I'm just going to copy and paste this tragic story from the source itself, breatheheavy.com. I am outraged. Although it's great that Jamie Spears has revived his gravy train's career, I have never been a fan of his tactics and overbearing requirements that he has placed on Britney and all those involved in her career. He disgusts me. I feel really badly for the site's creator. He has poured his energy into his site for five years and now it is all in jeopardy because of Papa Spears.
Dear BreatheHeavy readers,
I, Jordan Miller, Owner & Webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com and BritneyRes.com, want to thank you with all my heart for the loyalty and support you've shown over the last 5 years BreatheHeavy has been open.
We are all here for one purpose: to support the icon of our generation, Britney Spears, and to continuously stick by her through the good and bad.
I have been battling the conservatorship Britney is currently placed under for months now. When I did not conform to the requests and demands Britney's management and father, Jamie Spears, recently put upon BreatheHeavy to stay quiet, they in turn became angry and malicious, launching, what I feel is an unjust attack, against me and my website.
As a result, I received a legal notice from Jamie Spears' lawyers pressuring me to close BreatheHeavy.com by 3:00 p.m. PST today, March 27, 2009, or face an injunction, claiming they will pursue legal action by Jamie Spears, who, as a conservator, is legally allowed to act as Britney and sue using her money and lawyers.
"Britney doesn't control her affairs," said Brad Rose, the lawyer representing Britney in this case in a telephone conversation. "You are an uber fan who's gone a little too far."
The legal notice states BreatheHeavy is not in compliance of Copyright Infringement laws, violating Britney's rights of publicity and privacy.
"Ms. Spears will pursue damages and injunctive relief in connection with the blatant violation of her rights of publicity and privacy."
Additionally, the Google and TicketMaster ads placed around the website are a "major issue," stating I am using Britney's name and image for financial gain without her consent.
BreatheHeavy.com is a non-profitable website, meaning I, nor anyone, makes a PROFIT off the website. The ads used help the website remain self-sustainable, and if there is a profit made, the funds, in return, are used to purchase magazine scans and other materials needed for the website.
Am I crazy and naive for running a major website that leaves me in debt each month? Possibly, but BreatheHeavy is my passion, a creative outlet that has allowed me to grow as an individual.
Britney Spears is my inspiration; I can't put a price on that.
Though I made very clear to the attorneys that BreatheHeavy is a non-profitable website, it is of no concern of theirs.
This conservatorship Britney is placed under, which controls every aspect of her life, is now clenching the future of her biggest Fansite.
