We named it the "Phantom-O-Matic."
TechDirt is one of the site which I got a lot of news about the TPP. It is a daily stop for me and my web browsing.
The way I view people/companies like this is that what was stated is probably true and the filer of the lawsuit has no credible or concrete evidence to counter the defendant's statement. So instead, sue them out of existence.
There is a statement Gizmodo made about Ayyadurai and his claim to inventing email.
"The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than win.
The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on
somebody...,will generally be sufficient to cause professional decease.
If possible, of course, ruin him utterly."

"Just because you create an airplane called AIRPLANE, does not make you Wilbur Wright."
I will say this - I read recently that in the UK Libel is on the defendant to prove his/her own innocence so at least there's that.
Waiting for someone to release an article about Star Citizen and the Chris Roberts scandal.
So, the 1st Amendment protects speech based upon the financial resources of the writer/speaker? I guess that is why Peter Thiel's butt-hurt is so powerful. The 1st Amendment defends our points of view, not cash. If you want to be a whole and place a monetary value on your rights, that is your right, though not protected by the Constitution.I love how shitty little web sites like this cite the 1st amendment whenever they open mouth & insert boot. Try the STFU method when you're too broke to defend your dumbass points of view
You mean those other people who were suing gawker should have been hosed because they're poor?So, the 1st Amendment protects speech based upon the financial resources of the writer/speaker?

Just a little side update on our buddy, Tim:

Another case was between Tesla/ Westinghouse and Eddison/ JP Morgan.This kind of BS has been going on for a looong time. Adolphe Sax was sued into bankruptcy by rival instrument makers three times starting in the late 1840s. His rivals tied him up in the courts for basically the entire 20 year period of his patent with bogus claims that he had stolen the design for the saxophone. They knew that the claims were without merit, but they managed to stall his business until the patent expired and they were then able to copy his designs and compete with him.
Would it be derailing for me to inquire who actually invented email?
Also am I the only one who wants the turd from Phantom's cell # so I can send him shitty letters monthly about what an asshole he is?
Kyle cool with that?
I thought it was ARPA but didn't some Russian dudes claim to have invented it?Ray Tomlinson is credited with defining and delivering the early characteristics of what we call email. Ultimately it was a team of people on the ARPANET projects for MIlitary communications. Technically a bunch of people invented it, all of them give credit to Tom. The problem is this douchbag copyrighted(patented whatever) the term Email. So he likes to define that as "inventing".
I think the big news here is that's it's been nearly 13 years since the Infinium Labs debacle. Christ I'm getting old.
You mean those other people who were suing gawker should have been hosed because they're poor?
You do know they had 5-6 active lawsuits for similar activities, and Gawker's fear was thiel would bankroll all of them.
Gawker is a piece of shit rag who defied a judges order and got the long shaft of the law. Fuck 'em. Judge also protected the other writers.
Sounds like the big difference since I'm not hip to all the ins and outs of Kyle's lawsuit was the judges decision about whether the material should be left up by the website in question.One of those lawsuits was from the same guy that is suing techdirt, over the same issue.
The only reason Gawker lost against him was because they had just lost against Hogan, so they were $35 million in debt with no money left for the other lawsuits. (which means they lost because they were poor)
Also, what do your comments say about HardOCP, when they faced the exact same situation 12 years ago?
What is your question.Sounds like the big difference since I'm not hip to all the ins and outs of Kyle's lawsuit was the judges decision about whether the material should be left up by the website in question.
I'd love to hear what Kyle has to say.
No. Infinium Labs approached me, told me to take it down, or be sued. I asked them to point out any factual inaccuracies, and they pointed out a couple of nitpick things. I corrected those and explained to Infinium that I world not take it down and they sued me.Much faster than I expected lol.
Was there an some type of injunction against you to pull the video that you ignored?
Also damn that was fast again lol
