One of the many alleged BitTorrent users to fall victim to copyright
trolls in recent years has launched an impressive counterattack against a
plaintiff who accused him of downloading an adult movie. Jeff Fantalis of
Louisville wants millions of dollars in damages for defamation, emotional
distress and invasion of privacy, plus a prominent retraction in a local
newspaper.
Fantalis further asks the court to rule that porn can’t be
copyrighted as it is not a “useful art.”
[...]
Needless to say, it will be
interesting to see how the court responds to this counterclaim.
While there
is no guarantee that there will be a ruling on any or all counts, the
counter-suit has a wealth of information for other defendants and lawyers. As
Jane Doe points out, the filing in itself contains the best explanation of the
copyright trolls’ “extortion” scheme that exists to date.

Link Just happened to
be in a regular email newsletter from Globalspec. I have to wonder if it is
patentable, as probably every single technique he is using is quite old. I can
never share the vision of aircraft for the masses, which surfaces frequently, as
in some places the skies are crowded already, and most people can't even drive a
car very well, but certainly the world does need transportation of all types
which is more fuel efficient than what we have now. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
