50 Cent Shutsdown World Star Hip-Hop (Temporarily At Least)

HipHop DX - Hours after rival 50 Cent claimed he had the domain name seized, WorldStarHipHop.com is back online. In the midst of the popular Hip Hop site being offline, 50 Cent posted a series of Twitter messages claiming he was responsible for the outage. After various sources began reporting 50 reported the site to the Department of Homeland Security and/or Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, he backed away from his previous statements... The always-controversial 50 Cent is claiming responsibility for having the domain name WorldStarHipHop.com seized. In 2009, 50 was involved in a spat with WorldStar, after he filed a copyright infringement suit against the site, which directly competes with his own site, ThisIs50, and a number of other Hip Hop sites and blogs. During a 2009 interview with Atlanta’s DJ Greg Street, 50 said he hoped to tie WorldStar up in litigation long enough to make winning the battle irrelevant.

The Alt-Tab's favorite entrepeneur and financial advisor (all do respect to Pennypacker but the next bit of advice he actually publishes here will be his first) is back at it again.  Just blazing a trail and and showing me the way to prosperity.  First it was stock tips and now this, just ruthlessly tearing down his online competition.

Prior to this I had no idea people could just pull this shit? I assumed to run a successful website you had to be slightly entertaining, slightly controversial, and extremely lucky.  Who knew you could just attempt to sue your way to the top?  Let this be a warning shot to all our competition (whoever that may be, we don't really know yet), we're coming for you, and we're bringing our boy Jim Sokolove.
