Electronic Frontier Foundation has passed along the link to
a court document in copyright litigation from Media Malibu (with attorney Mary
Schulz), where the plaintiff listed other “embarrassing” downloads made by
unnamed defendants in trying to pressure for settlements. The link for the document is here (the Embed didn't work, for me at least).
The Pietz Law Firm has a link about this “copyright troll”
case, here.
The Malibu Media litigation seems to involve BitTorrent and
porn downloads, as in this detailed Wordpress account, link.
The Fight Copyright Trolls has another major link here I will follow this more later for more
detail.
I also wanted to make another note today on the way my
content reaches users. Over time, as I
have noted, I have tended to attract
fewer visitors and legitimate comments on Blogger, but more attention on
Facebook and Twitter. My traffic on “doaskdotell.com”
and “billboushka.com” (which has one more law and technology blog) has remained
pretty steady. I may be “consolidating”
some of this content in the future after my “DADT III” book is available (Aug.
22). I wanted to reiterate that blogs,
flat sites and books generally are available for everyone, and typically the
author does not know who accessed the material and does not have a right to
know (although the advertising environment is changing that idea). Social media is predicated on a totally different
precept, that you know who your friends and followers are, and who is most
likely to see your content and be interested in it. That "whitelisting" idea means you need some sort of outreach
(outside of just “speech”) to find and befriend them first. This is a profound paradigm change.
