Re: Re: Re: The EFF is lying
Yep, BentFranklin, please focus on the legal rule. Forget about ethics, lies, extortion-like practices, error-ridden super-secret German software, lies, disproportional and insane statutory damages, catch-22 when an innocent person settles because fighting is more expensive, lies, outing of closeted gays, inequality of arms...

Re: The EFF is lying
1) John Steele (I know, you respect him a lot) also claims that he is retired and has nothing to do with shakedown cases filed by Prenda. NY goons (who by the way are infamous for suing a harmless homeless man)? So what? It is still YOUR case, as TAC nicely proved above, and YOU are a liar in this respect.
2) As a matter of fact, you may be right, and wi-fi negligence has a little to do with this particular case. Yet your infame comes before you, so regardless of this particular case, EFF's arguments are solid as they address a bigger issue. Your "tugboat theory" is almost a meme, and it
would be funny if not for the fact that by discouraging small businesses from having open wi-fi (you would never attack Starbucks, would you?) you basically assault our quality of life. All in the sake of failing profits of an obscene business that cannot adapt to the realities of today. You are an enemy of the society, Marc Randazza.

Aaron Silverstein : tugboat of Massachussetts
Less than a month ago, Randazza's puppet who continues pushing this bizarre negligence theory in Massachusetts, copyright troll attorney Aaron Silverstein blocked me from following him on twitter after I replied to one of his tweets:
He tweeted:

Disturbing: #flame spread thru valid #microsoft security certificates. microsoft throws kill switch. http://tinyurl.com/6ncyzrn
My reply was:
FightcopyrightTrolls @fightcopytrolls
.@asilverstein irrelevant: it's your system, and you are liable for any damage resulted from infection incl. espionage and high treason.
I admit that I hate certain trolls (not many), but most of them cause a mixed feeling of pity and disgust in me.

Dear Sirs,
I read your brief advocating reinstating insane fines against Jammie Thomas-Russet for sharing a handful of songs. I want to share an idea that you may have overlooked: you can contribute greatly to the society submitting yourself to medical experiments. If scientists figure out how to pump blood through a body without a heart (which you apparently lack), it will help millions and millions people with heart problems.

Thanks for recognizing me as a not-so-lost soul! I try hard. "objectively consider thoughts that are directly opposed by our biases" is too advanced for me at this time though. Completed the Step 1 (recognizing my own tendentiousness), I'm working on the Step 2: recognizing other people's biases. Hope to become the rest of us some day ;) Peace.

Re: Re: Re: Alsup
Is it surprising? We all behave this way. More or less. Yet it is counter-productive to reject good deeds delivered by a person who has shown himself not from his best side in other instances. Sometimes I even praise an obvious asshole Randazza for his Righthaven work :)
Well, I also like when judges deliver good rulings based on common sense... yet Alsup is not exactly what he is protrayed these days.
Just half a year ago Mike wrote about the very same judge:
Unfortunately, not all judges have recognized this abuse of the system yet. In a new ruling in the Northern District of California, a judge ruled that its not just okay to join totally separate defendants together in such a lawsuit, but it's fine to make them "jointly and severally liable" for the damages. The full ruling is embedded below. It's a "default judgment," meaning that the two defendants didn't bother to respond to the lawsuit or show up. Thus, no one presented the other side of the story. Such things happen and not responding to a lawsuit is almost always going to lead to a default judgment and trouble. But, there's simply no reason that the court should have then taken the further step of assuming that the two parties were linked and that they should be jointly and severally liable for the damages. Unfortunately, even as a default judgment, this ruling can and will be used by lawyers to suggest that joinder is proper.
My (and not only my) opinion is that this judge is an arrogant despot, yet he is clever enough to make fair and reasonable rulings IF he invests his time and energy in studying the case subject. But if, for some reason, he does not want to spend his time, he is quite capable of delivering nonsense — presenting it as if he knows what he is talking about.
Kudos to Alsup for taking the effort to become "clued-in" in this particular case, yet no one who knows him could predict the outcome, and it is equally possible that this outcome would be bad.

When a juror is made to believe that the Kafkaesque reality, in which 150K for a song is a fair fine, is the only reality, don't expect a rational judgment from him.

I wonder if any of the justices read the petition beyond the title. It's no surprise that SCOTUS won't discuss this case now, but if they at least read the arguments, they will have time to contemplate... Earlier or later the insanity of the copyright statute must be resolved one way or another.

As someone once suggested, police's last resort is to have a mini-speakers attached to them, permanently playing music that is copyrighted by a major label. You can see why ;)
sophisticatedjanedoe (profile), 17 May 2012 @ 9:13pm
...it appears to flip the burden on a number of things in copyright from the copyright holder having to prove the basics (that they hold the copyright, that the copyright is valid, etc.) to the reverse: that the accused has to prove that the other side does not hold the copyright or that the copyright is invalid. And this is for both civil and criminal infringement.
Unfortunately, this happens here and there in porn bittorent cases today. Many of these cases are based on bogus copyrights, plus myriad of other problems, and judges assume that trolls don't blatantly lie. It's up to defense to prove that a scumbag is a scumbag.
