Yes, but we need to be vigilant to protect genuine flamenco artists, wherever they are. This persons false claims are on many places I have still seen on internet sites. I am not a performer but an aficionado, and Betty Cid is not world famous or has been with any famous flamenco group I have knowledge of.

If google banned the site, I think it’s enough punishment

Betty Cid’s website is still present on their server – it’s just that its Directory Index has been removed. I suspect the site is being re-thought :lol

The spam links are still out there. A few are being removed by moderators, but that still leaves hundreds remaining, so it remains to be seen how Google will behave when the site is re-published.

Hey Sandra,
Seems that this Betty Cid’s website has now been banned. It has been delisted from Google. There are still hundreds of spam links to it out on the net, so I guess this was eventually what was picked up on. Do PM me if I can be of help here.

I just want to say that I have been lucky enough to have been a student of Sandra’s for more than two years. When I first went into her class I was struck by the warmth of her personality and the openness with which she welcomed everybody who came. Anyone acquainted with Sandra will know that she is generous and straightforward, and simply not capable of making something up about Betty Cid out of petty jealousy. On the contrary, she gives lots of opportunities to other artists. Whoever is responsible for making these false claims should stop.

Yumi,

It seems that you are now sending e:mails directly to my flamenco colleagues with the suggestion that I may be making all this up out of jealosy. As well as factual inaccuracies, you are also including personal insults which would clearly be classed as malicious.

If Betty Cid were aware of this, of course, it would be even more serious.

I have written to you separately to cease this attack.

Sandra

Sandra,

I think you should have tried to find out what caused the problem first, as I know it wasn’t Betty herself who did it. I don’t know how this happened.

Anyway, she is a flamenco dancer who is as good as you.

I hope anybody involved in flamenco will stop insulting other artists.

Thanks.

Hi Yumi,

There have been several claims across the internet to the effect that Betty Cid’s own groups are Flamenco Pasión and Sonido Flamenco. Both these groups were in fact founded by myself several years ago, as I think most people know.

These claims take the form of “articles” and “announcements” on a variety of article submission sites.
Authorship varies between Betty Cid herself and others, but the content is practically identical.

There are current examples of this at the following urls:

http://www.articletrader.com/view/html-172078.html

http://www.article-array.com/pdf/article-340.pdf

Several of these articles have been removed following DMCA notices for copyright infringement, and I have kept archived copies of all infringing material. I’m sure people will understand that I need to protect my both my own reputation and that of others in my groups.

Betty has never claimed she was a part of your company or owns it at all. Thanks.
