She reminds me a lot of that horrid woman who was posting in the DMCA story about how TechDirt was attacking her.
Seemed to miss the larger picture and was totally focused on making it all about her.

As I have said a couple times in other places, I sure hope she signed some paperwork for him.
It would be nice to see her caught up in all of this and have to face the brutal reality of what her husband and his buddies have been up to, and experience more suffering than her tweet about having misplaced her cars high end tire iron.

Why?
They never produced the review of the review by Stroz.
They never addressed the serious issues of Dtecnet's absolute failure of valid DMCA notices.
Corporate law need only heed itself after all.

We have become the enemy, the enemy is us.
We decry these actions taken by other nations because they are dictators, except we have been shredding our citizens rights so our leaders can behave like those dictators.
So focused on "winning" we ignore that the thing we are protecting has been the first casualty.
More concerned with keeping contractors fat and happy we sacrifice the citizens rights, and those citizens are so brainwashed by soundbites they willingly accept the slide away from freedom.
People willingly accept 'collateral damage' as acceptable to hunt terrorists, ignoring we are killing innocent people to obtain our goals... just like how terrorists operate.
The only difference is we have a flag, and some words on a piece of paper we stopped understanding a long time ago.

Gee this story is cool and everything, except Gibbs admitted he gave Team Prenda access to his ECF credentials.
One wonders if there are logs of where the logins came from.
It seems that Gibbs was not the only local counsel to make this idiotic mistake... CFAA violations anyone? Maybe a really broken law can stop rampant extortion by officers of the court who were found to be involved in fraud upon the court and yet STILL can avail themselves of that same court system.

So lets look at the last ditch effort.
Lets use a State court for a round the way copyright case.
Lets not mention our expert (IIRC) is also the person who missed seeing the systems he ran being hacked for months.
Lets use the new company name and have Duffy sign, because all of the other names are shot if they google.
Their day of reckoning needs to come much faster and end these threats.
Oh and Mike - I still am curious what reports that at the time seems outlandish and now look factual.

"We need not address here whether or how the doctrine of patent exhaustion would apply in such circumstances."
Because we can't without looking more foolish. We have to make different rules for different things at different times depending on who will benefit, rather than address the idea of patent exhaustion and issue a clear ruling.

There have been a couple.
I've not dug deeply into how Sunlust was setup, but Collete and whatshisname are supposedly in charge of that one. And that case still has time to detonate on them...

The RIAA was being very publicly stupid, the MPAA filed a brief in a forgettable case and is hoping the general public don't see their dirty fingers on it.

Any case brought forward by Prenda, USCG, Evan Stone... the list continues
Run down the list of stories here at TechDirt and you can find a long list of cases being used to punish and/or harass using "interesting" versions of the law to support the claims.
Prenda has been handed lists and lists of names by courts who never took the simple step of limiting their use of them once the Doe cases were dismissed for failure to serve. It appears the single time a court told them to not use the list of names they filed named cases in another district.
What you imagine should be happening, does not happen.
People with money and power are routinely removed from the lists trolls pursue, by their own admission. Because they could fight back and expose the scam.
Prenda did not get here in a month, this has been going on as the world turned a blind eye to people being crushed by a legal system all to willing to give their names to lawyers who routinely managed to never name anyone in court, unless they thought they could get a default.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
There is censure and other things, but I have no idea what the possibilities are on the Federal level.
What I do know is there seems to be a bias in her court and district that favors 1 side over the other before any real evidence is presented. That is a problem and needs to be dealt with.
