This is a great conversation. The group is basically reverse-engineering Getty's "business model".
It's very credible that the varied "enforcement" tactics are arranged like focus groups. Or "fuck-us groups", if you will.
Newbies, DON'T GIVE IN. Educate yourselves and fight them. They only look big on paper, their minds are the size of peas.
Unless you infringed intentionally. Then you better lawyer up, beef up your negotiating skills, or move somewhere that doesn't have extradition treaties with the U.S. No one here has any sympathy for people who steal knowingly.

Buddhapi's Godzilla tribute rocks! I love those old monster movies. Frank Zappa once wrote a song about those wonderful days when they would push out a rubber monster onto the set with a 2x4 while sparks flew out of their nostrils.
The song was appropriately titled "Cheepnis".
Were Frank Zappa alive today, I'm sure he would write an awesome song bashing copyright trolls!

Sounds like we need to get the "Copyright Troll House of Cards" in order! Keep the suggestion coming, people!

Timmy is an Ace among Trolls! I love the choice of the Ace of Clubs too! Very fitting.
We need 3 more Aces! Bieker could definitely be one of them, Greg!

The Linda Ellis/Dash Poem Forum has nearly come to a dead halt after a blazing 3 weeks. You know why? Those letter recipients and victims don't share anything and there is nothing more to discuss or share.
This is a huge mistake by the victims of SuperTroll Linda "The Cash" Ellis. The strength of the ELI community comes from the union of people from all walks of life fighting a common enemy.
The trolls not only base their racket on fear and ignorance, they use bullying and good old-fashioned "divide-and-conquer" tactics to give themselves an appearance of insurmountable power. At the end of the day they're all cowards and some of them qualify as sociopathic since they truly convince themselves that they are on the side of right and go as far as pushing the limits of the law to extort money from people under the color of right.
I find it sad that Ellis is extorting money from people who are bamboozled by her silly posturing and roll over into the fetal position to hand her the power. No one is entitled to thousands of dollars for posting a poem on a low-traffic blog and much less for reading it at someone else's funeral. The fact that she apparently believes she's a victim and then responds with a totally disproportionate injustice using extortion and abuse of process is revealing of some very deep-seated personality disorder.
Either that or she's just TOTALLY greedy, which in my mind is also a very deep-seated personality disorder.
Stop trolling people, Linda Ellis. Make money by writing another fucking piece of tripe that people will pay for. Or maybe it's not really YOUR work and you can't find another schmaltzy greeting card you can paraphrase and sell as a literary work to the masses?

This is the exact reason that Glen Carner's responses about attempts to stop the baitpaper sites totally strain credulity. Let's take a look at the Glen Carner statement regarding DMCA takedown notices, from an ELI thread just about 3 weeks old:
Okay, so Glen Carner affirms that HAN does DMCA takedown notices CONTINUOUSLY? How about this here site:
http://wallpapersuggest.com/an_empty_hammock_kauai_hawaii___id_wallpapersuggest_com-wallpapers.html
Need proof it's hosted or registered by GoDaddy? Here you go:
http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/wallpapersuggest.com
In case you have any doubt that the registrar can takedown the site, here's the way it works:
By the way, if you scroll down on that WhoIs listing, there's a section titled "related websites". Every single one has "wallpaper" as part of the domain name. What does that suggest about WallpaperSuggest.com and the company it keeps?
I have repeatedly offered to provide Glen Carner with plenty of domain names that they can have taken down. However, as I have SUGGESTED before, HAN is not interested because there's no money in sending takedown notices as opposed to sending extortion letters to the victims of free baitpaper sites.
I will, at the risk of being redundant, repeat a list of 10 websites hosted by two ISPs controlled by Texas-based SoftLayer.com that can be taken down with ONE SINGLE TAKEDOWN NOTICE:
On ThePlanet.com in Spartansburg, SC
Newhdwallpaperstock.com
Kewlwallpapers.com
Wallpapers5.com
Brothersoft.com
Vandegoor.com
Pimpdesktop.com
On HostGator.com in Minneapoiis, MN
Scenicreflections.com
Stockwallpapers.org
Hdwallpapers.pro
Photoz.us
Does anyone here believe HAN has actually made any attempt to stop these baitpaper sites? He changed the subject before getting to the part about proving that HAN has issued even ONE SINGLE TAKEDOWN NOTICE.
His performance as a "contributor" to ELI was all about deception, seduction and sedition. He and Tylor have built themselves a system of "plausible deniability". At the end of the day, it's just a house of cards and the wind is starting to blow in Honolulu as the heat rises.

Mr Carner,
Have you in the past or are you presently making concerted efforts to have Mr Tylor's images removed from the hundreds of sites that presently offer them as free of cost?
If so, can you present any letters from your lawyers or DMCA takedown requests?
Please be mindful that obvious evidence of seeding images for free will always trump the simple denials that you have made.
We would like to see what Mr Tylor and you are doing about it.
S.G.
Yes, HAN does them continuously. There are a few other things that we may be able to provide to quickly debunk this (even though your research could provide a quick answer if you stop looking for what you are trying to find) which hopefully I can post here shortly. Thank you for asking though which is much appreciated vs. the shoot first ask questions later approach.

Those are very good points, S.G.
I don't see how the picture of the cat wearing a suit has any value since people only use it to make fart jokes when it's free. It would be different if they had to pay to use it and did not. I don't think anyone would bother if they had to pay even 99 cents. You can get a really cool app for that much these days.
However, as you mention, people can TRY and pull one of these copyright troll letters anyway to see if they can scare the funds out of someone's bank account by using a threatening letter and literally banking on the recipient's ignorance.
The "moment of creation" copyright is a principle thing, and would not be very valuable to a troll. Hence the race to do weird bulk registrations by "artists" like Carner and Tylor, which is fortunately being deprecated due to the fine work of sensible lawyers like Oscar. If the whole idea is to help people determine that a work is copyrighted in order to protect the copyright holder, a bulk registration is perfectly useless and unfair to those who are legitimately attempting to determine a work's copyright status.
Let's not forget that the ELI forum has educated this community about this issue to a degree that is light years beyond the average person, who usually believes all kinds of myths about how copyright law works. Those people are the victims of choice of the copyright troll. It's a perfectly Darwinian choice to go after the weak individuals when the strong are not around to protect them.
That's where ELI comes in. We're the strong because we've strengthened each other with knowledge and wisdom (and fart jokes too, I must admit) and we're doing our best to educate people and help them grow a spine and stand up to these trolls who are cowardly and run back to their hole as soon as they get a whiff of the butthurt ELI's going to slap on them.
I hope young Evan is paying heed. His young career is at stake here if he ends up getting a global reputation as a troll for his short-sighted attempt to score $15,000 for a lousy amateur shot of a property. Check the Google results for his name: The ELI content is creeping up on the results. These days, all prospective clients will look him up before considering hiring him.
Evan, if you are reading this, think about it, son. It's not worth it to shoot your career down the tubes for a mere $15,000. That's not even enough for a nice car.
