DMCA Claims – Part 2

Author == Jason 22 August 2009 21 Comments

Pro Bono Leaders?

Should I do what I’m about to do? Probably not :: but I’ve already paddled this rowboat into the ocean :: I might as well just drown.

Here is one of the DMCA claims filed by the representatives of Infomastery {aka Perry Belcher & Ryan Deiss} against The Salty Droid :: {click on the image below to download the full pdf}

Fulbright Betrayal

If the sight of a Top 50 Law Firm’s letterhead makes you GASP for breath and rethink your world view :: Then you must have gone to law school.  You must have developed this naive notion that lawyering was a profession … and that the TOP RUNG of that profession did not represent petty criminals in trivial matters … especially when a VITAL interest like speech was at stake.  Top law firms can’t be retained to protect the scamming interests of convicted felons on parole! It just doesn’t happen {says me :: to myself :: like a naive idiot}.

But here it is :: in pdf black and white :: One of the biggest law firms in the world has been engaged to silence my speech.  It’s not clear to me whether I should laugh :: cry :: or vomit blood.

Now, to the words and music of Paul Trahan :: Partner at Fulbright & Jaworski :: Open and proud opponent of free speech.

“Infomastery registered and operates a website at socialmediamoneysystem.com, where consumers can purchase online downloadable software in which Infomastery owns the copyrights.”

Nope, nope, and nope.

Nope 1 — The site is registered to Ryan Deiss personally. {link}

Nope 2 — There is absolutely no “software” involved! That fact is made perfectly clear from the “evidence” attached to the notice.  100% of the links were to audio/video files. “Software” is a strange way to describe video of Perry Belcher’s desktop as he stammers uselessly into a cheap mic.  I think “Fraudulent Horse Shit” is much more apt.

Nope 3 – Does Infomastery own the copyright? I doubt it’s actually taken the time and expense to register with the copyright office … so who owns it?  The product itself is Perry Belcher :: It’s his list :: It’s his “ideas” :: It’s his voice :: It’s his demonic cult of personality that’s selling it.  If you look a bit closer Paul Trahan {Partner at Fulbright & Jaworski} :: You’ll see that the ownership rights are murky.  Is Belcher an employee of Infomastery {properly reporting and paying taxes}? Or is he an independent contractor {properly prepaying his self employment taxes} … and thus obscuring ownership?  Or, and I’m just throwing this out there, is he not a part of the company at all on paper … because that would be a violation of his parole?  Maybe that’s something Paul Trahan should look into before he goes further trampling on my rights in exchange for dollars.

The links are not publically available, and their posting on the saltydroid.info websites is without permission and constitutes copyright infringement.

Um … nope. They absolutely WERE publicly available. People on the Internet, let’s call those people “the public” just because that’s what they are, had been downloading those files {and talking about how they were doing so} for weeks.  Someone I know :: also from this mystical “public” :: saw these public conversations and pointed me to the links.

{Oh and Top 50 Law Firm Partner Paul Trahan :: “publically” = not-a-word :: I hate to be a stickler … but you are repressing my speech and all … would be kinda nice if you’d at least use real words}

“The blog on saltydroind.com also indicates that the blogger plans to continue his attempts to locate the software and again make it available for public download.”

WTF?? That’s just a LIE.  I said no such thing :: Nor would I :: Obviously.  I loath everything about that pile of garbage. What I am “making available” for the public is the bold truth about open exploitation :: Too bad that Fulbright & Jaworski is trying to stop me.

btw :: You misspelled the name of my site :: and it’s .info NOT .com because your prestigious clients registered all of my other domain names earlier this year {link}.  Maybe they did it because they sensed I might violate their “copyrights” in the future :: Or maybe {just maybe} it was because I’m exposing them as the villains they are :: You choose Paul Trahan … but make sure to think about it first {obviously not your normal practice}.

Based on the above, we ask that BlueHost.com immediately disable all hosting services for the saltydroid.info website and provide us with the name and contact information for the registrant of the saltydroid.info domain name so that we may contact him or her directly regarding this matter.

MY WHOLE SITE! Paul Trahan, Partner at Fulbright & Jaworski, demands that my whole site be taken down.  As he signs this letter, NOTHING on my site is infringing on the copyrights of his fraudulent clients :: All the links are dead :: Yet he demands a full take down.

Not satisfied with just silencing me :: Paul Trahan, Partner at Fulbright & Jaworski :: Demands my identity so that he may reveal it to the scammers who have been desperately seeking that information for months.  To what end do you think they seek my identity Paul? So that they may “contact me directly” is disingenuous to the point of farce.  My comments are open, my email address is listed, I’m active on five different social networks.  I frequently email your clients to remind them that I’m going to put a STOP to this horrible charade.  They know exactly how to “contact me directly” {something they’ve NEVER had the balls to do}.  Me thinks they seek my identity for another {no good} reason :: A reason that puts my person and my family in danger.  That’s why I paid extra for the privacy protections in the contract that you just finished interfering with.

You’ve just been flat USED Paul Trahan.  These scamming chuckle heads to whom you’ve sold yourself intended to use the power of the establishment to scare me off once and for all.  It obviously succeeded in scaring all the web companies :: But it’s done NOTHING but strengthen my resolve to fight.

Perhaps the Attorneys at Fulbright & Jaworski don’t care about the 1st Amendment :: Perhaps they don’t care about the bulk exploitation of a vulnerable population :: But The Salty Droid DOES CARE :: And fights on :: Dragons be damned.

    This seems absolutely outrageous. Let's see:

    1. At the time that letter was written, there were NO ACTIVE LINKS WHATSOEVER, thus making even the "claim" of active "copyright infringement" INVALID at that very moment (as was plainly admitted in the letter itself); and

    2. Fillbright Lawyer infers that you had plans to continue to locate "software" and "again" make it available (with NO statement from you indicating such); and

    3. Fillbright Lawyer demands that your host terminate your entire domain hosting at a time during which YOU ARE NOT POSSIBLY INFRINGING and furthermore, HAD NEVER BEEN LEGALLY FOUND GUILTY OF INFRINGING; and

    4. Fillbright Lawyer requests your identity (which he knows is protected by privacy contract) in what appears to be a blatant attempt at intimidation.

    Deiss probably has a lot to lose if you were to prevail against him in a court of law should it be found your rights were violated through all this. I wonder if he mentioned anything to Fillbright Lawyer about those domains he previously registered using YOUR distinctive trade name in an obvious effort to silence you.

    It's also interesting that Deiss recently moved those particular domains out from under his name. Unfortunately for Ryan, domain ownership records CAN BE EASILY TRACKED BACK TO THE VERY FIRST REGISTRANT using public databases. So that little maneuver hides nothing.

    Seems like the Droid could be holding a LOT of cards right now.

    Would a reputable law firm really send out something like that? There are even more typos in there than Droid has pointed out plus a comma is missing, which gives the entire matter a new meaning. Shall I make finding the missing comma a prize question?

    Ah well, I really have a hardtime believing that a top lawyer with an impressive Curriculum Vitae and a cum laude BA with an English major in particular would compose something like the writing we see in the portable data file above.
    Oddly enough, I addressed a few of those stylistic issues in a different context: http://www.saltydroid.info/copywrong-chris/#IDCom…

    Oh. My. God. Nauseating. No wonder everyone hates lawyers – we are total fucking cads. Thanks, Paul Trahan, for dragging our profession down a few more rungs. From now on when people ask, I am just going to tell them I am a cashier at Walgreens – at least that is an honest and respectable profession.

    Oh, that is just too too adorable! Look how cute – they are trying to be scary. Its nice to know that Perry's friends are every bit as charming and warm hearted and The Big Blubber himself. The threat of Perry as a rapist, however, is not that intimidating – just throw a hostess twinkie at him to distract him and walk away at a moderately fast pace. Pudgy will never be able to catch up.

    But it is a touching love story – unrequited love. Part of me hopes, for the sake of Perry's man crush, that all of his romantic and erotic dreams about the Droid come true.

    To paraphrase Tucholsky, you can tell a person's character by the people they surround themselves with.

    However, all threats of bodily harm should be reported to federal police.

    I personally find it appalling that these boys fight back with sexually explicit content. It was bad enough that Non-Doctor Harlan Kilstein resorted to Sexual Harassing Tweets and LIES about myself and Droid.

    The responses are unprofessional and DISTURBING to say the least…and these are "Professional" people, marketers and so called doctors???

    I would think twice about having any type of relationship with any of these "professionals"
