I would bet that 99.9% of the DMCA claims filed are legit and only a few weirdos around here would protest them. It's not too much to ask this guy to jump through the same hoops that the legit artists need to do to defend their works.

The fact is that Pirate Bay takes away MY freedom of speech and the freedom of speech of many others. I watch millions of pirated works float around and that robs the artists of income. Instead of being able to create, we're forced to get other jobs and that robs us of the time to create.

Suck it up, Mr. Klose. This is the reality that artists need to endure today. You fill out endless forms just to the web doesn't screw you over. But Big Search keeps sailing on, sucking in all of the ad revenue off of your work.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/22543223166/modest-proposal-going-piracy-neutral.shtml#c462 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:26:52 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/22543223166/modest-proposal-going-piracy-neutral.shtml#c462 Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c117 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:25:45 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c117 Response to: out_of_the_blue on May 23rd, 2013 @ 1:16pm http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c111 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:25:00 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c111 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c1188 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:23:55 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/01382223168/new-york-times-tells-startup-it-cant-even-mention-ny-times.shtml#c1188 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/02455423183/prenda-lawyer-says-georgia-court-should-ignore-judge-wrights-order-because-look-hackers.shtml#c292 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:22:42 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130523/02455423183/prenda-lawyer-says-georgia-court-should-ignore-judge-wrights-order-because-look-hackers.shtml#c292 Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c89 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:22:17 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130522/18103323179/filmmaker-behind-pirate-bay-documentary-says-bogus-dmca-takedowns-take-away-his-free-speech.shtml#c89 Mike thinks people should have free speech and not be subject to the whims of an outdated, desparate industry trying to hang on to a legacy business model!

Hi there Boys and Girls!

Why let EvilPirateMonkey@gmail.com have all the fun and glory? You too can get included in Jacques Nazaire's next wacky court filing just by dashing off a hastily composed missive.

Here's all you need to do:
1) Think up crazy or insulting or even completely factual stuff.
2) Email it off to Jacques Nazaire.
3) Sit back and bask in the resulting fame.

Just think about it! You could be the very next winner* like EvilPirateMonkey@gmail.com in the hilarious Prenda Circus of Copyright Litigation Shame!


(*Contest not legal in Rhode Island and Cochise County, Az.)
