This just gets better and better. After listening to Jason Christopher Hughes (aka Michael Rudra Nath) accusing me of blackmail, and a variety of other felonies and misdemeanors, and screechily demanding that I “turn myself in”, I realized that I could cut to some sort of chase by simply agreeing to. I figured that would give him something to think about, and it seems as though it did!
Not that thinking is Mikey-nath’s forte, mind you.
There are horrible jurisdictional battles involved in a case like this, according to my attorney. It could take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to conduct a DMCA trial across US state lines. The statue of limitations however on “invasion of privacy” and “intentional infliction of emotional distress” are quite generous. So he will in all probability be allowed to abuse to DMCA and claim his fraudulent copyright. Satisfaction will be had, one way or another and by any means necessary.
“Horrible jurisdictional battles”…? You need a better lawyer, sonny. A DMCA case is a Federal matter and it’s tried in a Federal courtroom. No “jurisdictional battle” there, certainly, one’s as good as another.
There’s no “jurisdictional battle” at all as far as your other silly claims go, either: if you feel that you’re being blackmailed by someone, no matter where they are, you go to your local police and file a report, simple as that. If you’re being blackmailed in Austin, say, you go to the Austin PD.
Same with a civil case, for the most part, especially when it involves the internet, which is everywhere. If you’re being “intentionally emotionally distressed” and having your privacy “invaded” in Staten Island, to give a completely fictional example, you’d go to the Civil Court of Richmond County.
Here’s the thing: having received my counter-notification to his fraudulent DMCA response, in which I laid out the facts of the matter—he’s used two different names on his claim, an apparently fake address, and failed to provide any proof that he has Thing One to do with those photos, much less having a copyright claim on them—he has (had, as of yesterday) 14 business days to file a court case against me to litigate his copyright claim or his DMCA complaint is null and void. That is to say, the photos go right back up.
Apparently, it’s dawned on our Brave Hero that this is a lose-lose proposition for him. If he takes me to court, he knows I’m going to be bringing along a countersuit the size of Montana for him. He can’t complain to my ISP any further now, so he’s simply going to have to grind his teeth until he needs to gum his gum, by gum, looking at that web site, over and over and over and over.
We’re havin’ fun now. Right, Mikey?
…will in all probability be allowed to abuse to [sic] DMCA…
Oh, right. I’m “abusing the DMCA”. Uh huh. My ISP and I have a somewhat different view. Of course, you’re not willing to put your money where your big, fat mouth is, are you?
Satisfaction will be had, one way or another and by any means necessary.
I’ve offered, and am continuing to offer, to turn myself in so that you can press charges, you cretinous numbskull. Get on with it, if you’re after “satisfaction”. Call the cops. Make your charges. I’ll gladly come and answer them. Otherwise, shut the fucking fuck up already.
(By the way: aktiophi’s Livejournal was suddenly deleted this week. Again. Go figure.)
[UPDATE: rather than lie in the bed he made, Mikey-nath gets a sudden impulse to indulge in amateur psychiatry.]
