Well, this is all very fascinating and gives us some very valuable insight into your thought processes. As for your accusations of censorship, I’ll let your completely accessible and viewable by all comment speak for itself.

It’s obvious to everyone, Mike, that you have no respect whatsoever for law enforcement, and the same goes for your church flock here.

Well, respect is earned and there just doesn’t seem to be many in the law enforcement community willing to make that effort.

Do you consider lawyers for copyright holders less than human and figures for your own twisted entertainment?

Prenda? Yes. All the way across the board? No. Keep in mind that actions and statements of Prenda’s lawyers provide the entertainment. We just comment on it here. If Prenda approached the bar set by legitimate legal representation, we’d probably have much, much less to say about it.

Never mind that you pilfer and steal from these people, but you refuse to even give them the civil expectations of fair standards and due process.

What? Accusations of theft aside, as far as I can tell, we haven’t gotten Prenda banned from any courtrooms or denied them “fair standards,” whatever the hell that means. I suppose it’s flattering that you believe this blog has the power to deny due process, but that flattery is tempted by the sheer ridiculousness of the accusation.

Did you think that John Steele and Jacques Nazaire were going to take your baseless accusations and insults lying down?

No. But it would obviously be better for them if they did. Crying to the court about the “mean internet” only draws more attention to their incompetence and extraordinarily thin skin.

Have you considered that all these “victims” could have just paid John Steele the money he and the rightsholders were entitled to, and all this could have been avoided?

Have you considered these “victims” might actually be victims (without the scare quotes)? A business model predicated on filing multiple lawsuits based on nothing more than an IP address isn’t much more than low-level extortion.

Perhaps you should look at some of these “grandmothers” you claim to be protecting, instead of getting all uppity about legal practitioners of the law, who are guilty of nothing more than asserting their own righteousness against the scourge of piracy.

Bullshit. Pay attention. Prenda has been caught seeding its own files simply to “grow the business,” with John Steele making some moves that appear to induce infringement.

I also notice you still haven’t answered my question here: Are you employed by Wyden’s office or doing consulting for them? You seem to be giving them very wide access to your blog and audience. Campaigning for Wyden for President 2016, perhaps?

That’s for Mike to answer if he feels he needs to entertain your conspiracy theories. Of course, it may just be that Ron Wyden is one of the few representatives whose views have consistently aligned with the viewpoints here and one of the few people in Washington incessantly battling against intelligence agency overreach and bad “cyberlaws.”

I pray that one day law enforcement will ding you for each and every illegitimate file you come in contact with and “due process” you for life in prison. People like you with no respect for copyright law must be taken off the streets.

Wow. That is fucked up. You honestly think copyright infringement, if there’s enough of it, should result in lengthy prison sentences?

“Respect for copyright?” What a strange, sad little phrase. Again, like the law enforcement above, the abuses perpetrated under copyright law won’t earn it any respect. And the endless extensions aren’t helping.

I cannot believe people like you who feel so powerless despite EVERY decision on copyright going in your favor over the past several decades and various copyright industries having the DOJ, ICE, FBI and others on tap for enforcement. Quit your crying. It’s just embarrassing.
