Digitalfire Plainsman Timeline
Events June 10-26, 2026.
June 10: A letter from Wilson Laycraft was received. It required the transfer of PlainsmanClays.ca and PlainsmanPotterySupply.com (with offer of $1000) in order not to seek damages for losses associated with catalog unavailability June 3-5, goodwill and reputation. It revoked from Digitalfire "any license or permission express or implied for the use of its trade names, registered trademarks, logos, images, and all other intellectual property, and is no longer authorized to use any Plainsman content or represent Plainsman in any capacity on any platform, including, but not limited to, Insight-live, Facebook, Youtube, Instragram, LinkdIn and any other social media. Should Digitalfire not complete the transfer of plainsmanclays.ca, Plainsman will take all legal actions available for unauthorized use of its intellectual property."
June 11: Visited law office to request for a consultation.
June 12: I notified Plainsman lawyer that Digitalfire billing had been in error (the entire $1500 should have been for their Insight-live.com managed account). I included links to previous unanswered attempts at signing an MSP agreement and addressing overlaps between companies. I clarified that the outage at PlainsmanClays.ca was a product of their redirecting the dot.com URL without notice, that customer support requests have not been directed to me since 2021 (see WaybackMachine contact page), asked for details of the June 3-5 outage, and acknowledged Plainsman's request that I not represent myself as acting on behalf of them.
June 13: I removed all but one post from a Plainsman Clay page made on my personal Facebook account in 2014.
June 15: I put a banner on Digitalfire.com that it would shut down June 26 because I was unable to comply in the short time frame.
June 16: Letter from Wilson Laycraft adding request for the Plainsman Facebook and YouTube accounts.
June 17: I posted that a GoFundMe had been set up by a supporter and reported on its status.
June 18: In answer to "Plainsman further requires that DigitalFire remove any documentation or data of DigitalFire from Plainsman’s premises; and that all documentation and data of Plainsman in the possession and control of DigitalFire be downloaded to Plainsman" I made a post that Digitalfire source material was in danger of being lost.
June 18: Letter from Wilson Laycraft
June 18: Made a post that PlainsmanClays.ca product documentation site had gone down.
June 17-19: Made posts asking people to please stop bashing Plainsman and answered all emails with the same request.
June 26: Gave them login info to a Google account registered to the now invalid email tony@plainsmanclays.com.
Prior Events:
May 2024: The manager asked for my key and gave me 5 minutes to leave the building. My wife and daughter were there minutes after.
Mar 1, 2025: I shared, with edit privileges, a GoogleDocs Insight-live MSP agreement, to tim.lerner@plainsmanclays.com (as a result of a meeting with him and Chris Perret).
Jan 12, 2026 email editing GoogleDoc share titled “Plainsman/Digitalfire Overlap”, I clearly outlined overlaps in the companies, offered to continue searching more and to work to resolve. No response.
