It was nearly 10 years ago when the ‘Evil Speedo Corporation’ sued me in the Australian High Court.
The whole thing made the Sydney Morning Herald – click here for the article in the paper.
There was no way possible I could afford to defend myself, at court the Evil Speedo Corporation had five lawyers, but I did email the judge and argue that:
I wasn’t living in Australia at the time, and the ‘business’ was not based in anyway in Australia, so I’m not sure how an Australian Court could make such a ruling.
My use of the word ‘speedo’ was generic for male swim briefs. My example is that I use the term “Speedo brand speedos”. For example: jacuzzi, chapstick, dumpster, jetski, bubblewrap.
Because I didn’t have the financial resources to defend myself, the ‘Evil Speedo Corporation’ won, but I only lost a domain name. I’m sure it cost them a fortune in legal fees.
One of the funny things that happened during that time was they had hired private investigators to find ‘Dave Evans’ and they knocked on the door of a guy in Sydney. Turns out, that Dave Evans is gay (maybe they stalked his social media), he loves speedos, but he didn’t know about my websites. He emailed me telling me about the knock on his door and he became a member.
Over the years they occasionally hassle me and I have to change domain names. I’d like to think I’m promoting their products and instead of the legal fees they have been wasting, they should pay me to mention their products over say AussieBum speedos or ADIDAS speedos.
I’m not sure why I got on to that little story but someone sent me through this video of some body surfing athletes that Speedo does sponsor.
I think it is great that they are promoting wearing speedos. Do you wear speedos when body surfing? I know I do.
I’ve even worn a speedo surfing. It was with a member and yes… we did have speedo sex on his car afterwards. Members can read about that experience by clicking here.
Now that I finally feel like I’m back on top of some things I can focus on some other stuff.
I’m just about to sent out an email to the existing and past members of this blog explaining what I am about to here. But if anyone has any specific questions that I don’t cover, feel free to drop me an email – DaveEvans@SwimmerBoyz.com
Why is there a ‘membership’?
Back in September Alex was going through his breakup with his girlfriend and he and I were fucking like rabbits. I was sharing this with my readers/fans but I was a little concerned for privacy for Alex and myself. Being able to share with you guys some private things is what has made this blog so successful over the last 10 years.
Also, the time I spend writing up some of my experiences and the photo shoots was starting to get out of hand. I was spending 4 hours a day on this blog and although it does promote my site SwimmerBoyz.com, I just couldn’t justify spending that kind of time without the blog helping to pay the rent in some way.
I love this blog. I love sharing my experiences with you guys and I don’t like to half-arse things. So, in order to keep the blog running I decided to trial a $5 monthly membership. This also addressed some of the privacy issues since some of my experiences are now not 100% public.
What does ‘membership’ give you?
Since I started the ‘membership’ I have been blogging just as much as I usually do but now I just restrict some posts. For example, yesterdays story about Alex’s first time having a cock in his arse was 2,350 words for members but only a sample for non-members. Tomorrow there is a new model gallery that will only show one photo for non-members.
Later today, members will have a new sample movie which is a new thing for the blog – with over 5,000 daily readers posting movies just kills my bandwidth, but it is something I love sharing with you guys.
I have been amazed at the popularity of the $5 membership, I really appreciate your support and it has allowed me to spend more time on the blog delivering something that I know you guys want.
What does it say on a credit card statement?
I’m not out to all my friends and family so discretion is important to me. Accordingly the following will come up on your credit card statement:
SwimmerBoyz.com is my flagship website. I started it even before I started blogging.
SwimmerBoyz.com has over 85 hours of movies. 6,500 photos, dozens of hot models including amateur solo guys who wanted to wanted to show off in their speedos, some of whom are fans of this blog. The site also has a HUGE archive of all my stories as well as nearly as many stories from fans and members who have submitted their own speedo experiences.
It is by far THE BEST speedo resource online.
Membership to SwimmerBoyz.com is $29.95/month (I think the HD movies on their own justify it).
If you are interested in joining SwimmerBoyz.com, your membership includes access to the members area of this blog.
How to join?
Just click here, it is a 2 step process. My credit card processor is CCBill, an independent company I’ve worked with them for more than a decade now. They are amazing, nuts about security and discretion.
Thank you guys for your support and I hope you do give yourself a $5 Xmas present and join the site.
Looks like the Evil Speedo Corporation has their speedos in a bunch over my websites again.
They have tried to close my sites for years and even took me to the High Court of Australia way back. My argument was and still is that ‘speedo’ has become a generic term. Just like aspirin, heroin, dry ice, app, zip code, adrenalin, bubble wrap, dumpster, jet ski, super heros. I also argue that if anything I am promoting their product.
That is actually all. So not that big a deal. I’ll probably add some new domains next week so that search engines will find me a little easier.
In the mean time, I really appreciate everyone’s support and the best way to show that is to join my site SwimmerBoyz.com (was SpeedoBoyz.com until the Evil Speedo Corporation took that away).
It has been just shy of 7 years, I’ve lived in maybe 20 different ‘homes’, 4 different countries and I’m not going to embarrass myself by saying how many boys I’ve been with – and a few girls as well – hehehehehe.
This blog post is my 1,600th – there have been just over 5,000 comments (more than 3 per blog post – thanks a bunch guys – it is the comments that keeps me writing).
Yesterday there were 5,136 unique visitors here.
I have hooked up with…. I mean, I’ve met at least a dozen blog readers over that time and I’ve hooked up with 2 of my str8 friends because they found ME through this blog.
There are a few of us ‘old’ bloggers about and those include Shaun from the old ‘Gizzard’ blog, Mel P who got me started and taught me about WordPress and of course Brenton P from Aussielicious – great online friends who I’ve gotten to see grow over the last half decade – they’ve only seen me just get more immature over time. I’ve learnt a bunch from those guys.
Blogging has turned into being kewl and I’m told some people make money from it – it is kewl when someone notices me from my blog but it doesn’t make me any money – you guys are wonderful in supporting me by checking out my site SwimmerBoyz.com but I’ve never put up a pop-up ad and I’ve never directed you off to some random bogan porno site to make a couple of cents from Google Ads.
Your support has been fantastic….
God only knows where the next 7 years and the next 1,600 posts will lead….
….. No matter what, I’ll be here – I hope you will be along for the journey.
Over the last 24/48hrs the evil speedo corporation has taken my AussieSpeedoGuy.com domain.
I spent 2 days last week emailing week updating links and old images and that seems to have worked – if you guys notice anything not quite 100% leave a comment for me.
It also looks like not too many visitors have been lost as well. I changed to the new domain AussieSpeedoGuy.org months ago which gave Google and the other search engines time to update and I tried to email all the guys who trade blog links with me. Again if there are any bloggers out there keen to trade links drop me an email (email link on the right there).
Good to see we’ve all made it through and we are still together…..
AussieSpeedoGuy.com (started as SpeedoGuy.com) is now 5yrs old!!!
It is crazy how time flies isn’t it.
In those 5 years I’ve written 1,144 posts, you guys have written 3,458 comments and there have been over 7 million visits to the blog.
And I’ve had some speedo fun with 18 guys I met through this blog.
I started writing the blog after an amazing MMF threesome with my housemates in Canada – it was the end of the winter and I was travelling on my own and I wanted to share this amazing bisexual experience but had nobody to share it with so I started writing it. And the rest is history…..
