Vincent K Tylor strikes again

<< < (6/6)

JLorimer:
From what I have read, it still seems like Hawaii is the wrong place to file.  Others here know better than I do.  I think it needs to be filed in your state though.

Ordinarily. But there is that Washington Shoe case in the 9th circuit. It's only precedential value is in the 9th circuit-- but that's where Hawaii is.  So, the argument is because infringement was willful (due to images still being on Typepad) they venue can change to the copyright holder. That might work in Hawaii where the copyright holder works, it probably would not have worked in California.

It's going to be important for Peggie's lawyers to have a look at the argument in the recent shoe case and also point out that the links still being on Typepad do not constitute willful infringement because Peggy took down her links, but Typepad is the one who did not take down the links based on her request. Note: the Facebook don't look like a separate hosted image. That looks like a hyperlink to the Typepad server. So there was nothing to take down from Facebook because nothing was there.

He'll need other arguments for why any violation was not aimed at WA, but in particular, the fact that Typepad has this weird screwy system will need to be brought forward early rather than later.

Matthew Chan:
Yes, ELI does excellent organic SEO!  The nice thing is everything we do Google absolutely loves because we don't resort to bullshit trickery, black-hat or grey-hat tactics.  No need to adjust and change how we do things unlike so many questionable SEO operations.  I have always insisted on focusing on producing, generating, and encouraging relevant and legitimate discussions and the content comes naturally.

There is nothing forced about ELI's discussions.  They simply ebb and flow organically depending on what is going on and Google loves us and rewards us for it.

What I will absolutely take credit for in 2008 is making the decision to launch an open discussion forum where Oscar and I did not elevate ourselves and write articles for others comment on.  We are one of the many users here engaging in open conversation.

I know many people would prefer if we wrote definitive articles on the ELI blog but the fact of the matter is, it is far easier to write and generate organic, relevant content this way, than writing articles.

And if someone wants to take a screenshot of my post, let's make sure we get the ENTIRE context captured, not a quote fragment or this one reply post.  And to those people who are trying to shut me up, I have a First Amendment right to share my opinions with everyone.  If someone doesn't like our content, they need to stop visiting and reading ELI.  Simple as that.

And stop doing unethical things, then would wouldn't have to report on their actions.
