  • On the post: John Steele Shows Up In Judge Wright's Court; Bet He Wishes He Hadn't

    Trelly ( profile ), 12 Jul, 2013 @ 07:55pm

    It's a bit weird that he can register bunches of websites, file doc's with the various courts across the country, talk to his buddies who certainly know how to do basic computery-type stuff, and publicly talk about his most awesome copyright tracking software that they built in-house ...

    but can't master the complexity or cost of free email.

    The best way to end the trolling is to agree with them, since they come to create a fuss and thrive on the results.

    The troll is right, but doesn't even know he is agreeing with us in that.

    Re: A suggestion for TechDirt

    The problem is sometimes the troll threads have a valid point, in this case where they are complaining about beating a dead horse.

    The problem the troll has is they are shooting the messenger, rather than properly identifying that the horse is being beaten well past many lifetimes by the absurd court filings.

    It's the absurd court filings which draw the crowd. Had Prenda simply left the building early on and not drag things out, there is no story to report on.

    Re: Not surprised..

    Something to do with his employer law firm being upset that he was working with the client regarding fees and collection and eventually he was working for them directly or some such thing. As I recall the law firm didn't get paid and lost a client, something like that.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: This horse is dead.

    The original comment is indeed most relevant, but only because Paul Duffy didn't get his memo about beating this old horse.

    Maybe the appeal itself should have been properly considered, but since they deemed it important enough to bog down our court systems at the district court and appeals levels it probably is ok to waste a bit more on blogs and comments as well.

    How soon until they announce a merger? What would it be called?

    MSA?

    They already have an address, One MSA Way.

    Is this NSA version 1.0 or 2.0?

    Ohhh, the laughs go on and on. If all this were at all funny.

  • On the post: Way To Go Florida: Governor Signs Law That Accidentally Bans All Computers & Smartphones

    Trelly ( profile ), 09 Jul, 2013 @ 09:07am

    Darn it, I was just planning on a vacation to Florida so I could sit in my hotel room and play Solitaire.

    Did they shut down the World of Warcraft access to Florida yet? How about Wifi, which offers a random chance at downloading things of value or entertainment, and which are by necessity part of a network?

    Heck, any computer used to purchase a flight to Florida is a gamble, since you don't know until you show up at the gate if you are on the no-fly list.

    Please tell me ...

    ... that the two infected computers were on the list of 146 components that were smashed.

    The only thing that could make the story better is if the original 2 infected computers still remain operational and unmolested by re-imaging.

    Re:

    But but but, if we can live off the land then they can still burn or poison our land! What we need to do is burn and poison our lands, and burn our villages to be sure they can't harm us.

    Of course, our Google fiber will remain because it's buried. But they won't know that, because we burned the maps in our offices.

  • On the post: Prometheus, Meet Thomas Jefferson: On Fire, Stealing And Sharing

    Which fire are they talking about? The one that was genetically engineered to burn more more orangy?

    Of course, Prometheus, Zeus, and Jefferson are all guilty of infringing on my patents regarding anything that brings fire, the scent of fire, the appearance of fire, or any firey like doodad to the internet.

    Prometheus, Zeus, and Jefferson ... meet my attack dogs from wefightpiracy.com, their sister site wefightprivacy.com, and wefightcommonsense.com (names may change in the near future depending on litigation requirements).

    Re: Put your Prenda time into developing views on copyright.

    So the title of this article contains the word Prenda. For whatever reason, you decided to read the story and comment on it.

    It should be obvious to you that these stories bring people in since you are feeding the machine yourself.

    And ... thanks!

    Oh I don't know, there is plenty of space ... in space.

    Maybe ship them off to Alpha Centauri along with the telephone sanitizers and hair stylists, just say "so long, and thanks for all the fishing".

    Gotta protect the kids ...

    So he is ok with his kids reading his confidential emails, including those with his porn producing clients (which may very validly contain adult content) and presumably doesn't place his clients emails into the junk folder, yet the attorney of the opposition needs to be placed in junk?

    Yeah, that says a lot not just about his legal skills and ethics, but also about his parenting skills.

  • On the post: Irony Alert: John Steele Denies Uploading Anything Ever Despite Growing IP Evidence

    Trelly ( profile ), 06 Jun, 2013 @ 07:46am

    Re: Re: Re: Logging

    No, you are very confused.

    He (John Steele ... ie. You) claims that there are minimal standards which link an IP address to a person. In this case, there is much more than minimal evidence, since it is ongoing and complex.

    Then there is the issue I pointed out in that John Steele should be doing what Alan Cooper did; he should be getting a lawyer and going after whoever is using that IP address to steele (lol) the copyrighted materials of the clients of Prenda Law.

    This should be a TOP priority for them.

    So tell me, why isn't it? It isn't a DEFENSE, as you so poorly argue. It is a reason to go full force offense ... and yet Steele and Prenda claim it is "an attack on them" by the defense.

    If they feel threatened by this, I have to ask why that is the case.

    Why don't you?

    Steele's response is wrong

    If he were what he claims to be, then he would be thanking the expert for helping Prenda track down the person who is responsible for making the works available.

    The person that this IP address is exactly who Prenda is looking for. Ending this persons illegal theft of IP should be a high priority for Prenda, for the defendants, and for all of us as well.

    Who is this person at that address, and why doesn't Steele give a crap? They don't need to sue lots of downloaders when they can fine the uploader, and they can then find out how he consistently found the files for the same copyright owners. Clearly, this person has it in for the copyright owners, and it is all of our responsibility (just as it is for AF Holdings and Prenda Law), to find out who this is, and have them punished to the fullest extent of the law.

    We are all behind John Steele and his friends at Prenda Law in this. We all want to know, don't we, Mr. Steele?
