Date: June 12th, 2007 12:58 PM Author: bearded marvelous genital piercing Subject: THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE; YOU ARE NOT MY CLIENT! A few comments:
a). Copyright infringement is the only asserted basis for federal court jurisdiction. The Complaint states no background facts indicating that the only named defendant (Ciolli) infringed any copyrights (rather, it explicitly states that some subset of defendants committed such actions). However, the copyright cause of action section goes on to allege that "defendants" have copied the copyrighted photos. I think any reasonable investigation would show that not all defendants did so, and the complaint itself suggests this.
Indeed, all the stated causes of action name "defendants" without distinction between various individual defendants.
b). I'm not convinced that all the other causes of action arise under the the same nucleus of operative facts as the copyright claim. Is subject matter jurisdiction valid?
c). I'd be interested in learning how the plaintiffs acquired ownership of the copyrights at issue.
d). What a bunch of assholes (the posters, that is). |
|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:02 PM Author: razzle nowag goyim And again, why is rachmiel not named as a defendant, given that he is mentioned by name repeatedly throughout the complaint as playing more or less the same role as GTO? Perhaps he is being rewarded for cooperation...*
speculation, just kidding, please don't sue me |
|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:05 PM Author: bearded marvelous genital piercing Yeah, that confused me, but it's no grounds to attack the complaint.
I don't really know if any of the things I mentioned are valid grounds either, but interesting things I would research if I had enumerable hours of free time and free Westlaw. |

|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:08 PM Author: bearded marvelous genital piercing The "author(s)" of the photo owns the copyright the moment it is taken.
Simply "having them taken" doesn't give the subject ownership of the copyright.
I could make an argument for copyright ownership even if someone else took them, but I won't go into that. I'm interested in what their theory is. |
|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:11 PM Author: Out-of-control odious nibblets abode oh ok. well, Doe II doesn't list copyright in her complaint. what's that about? I didn't realize there were even pictures of Doe I. |
|

Is that right? I wonder what the basis for jurisdiction is, then. |

|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:20 PM Author: bearded marvelous genital piercing I would not be surprised if a lot of the claims could get dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
I kind of hope they get someone to defend them (at least Ciolli) pro bono, just so we can see the legal issues play out.
On the other hand, I kind of want some of the defendants to get PWNED! |

|
Date: June 12th, 2007 1:24 PM Author: bearded marvelous genital piercing I'm not sure if that meets the standard required for jurisdiction. I haven't looked at it in a while.
I know there is case law dealing with whether related contractual claims can be heard in federal court based on copyright issues in the contracts, but I'm not sure if that's relevant.
Edit: at any rate, it seems like Ciolli should be able to say that they haven't asserted a copyright claim against him (and if they have, it's wading into murky Rule 11 territory). |

Date: June 12th, 2007 1:58 PM Author: Out-of-control odious nibblets abode in my non-legal-advice-giving opinion, no fucking way this is "outrageous" enough to satisfy IIED. as for false light, that's seems slightly more possible, if "she wants people to look" and the description of her outfit at the gym are considered attributing Doe II views she doesn't hold or action she didn't take. but it still has to be considered offensive to a reasonable person. there's also the "unreasonably publicity given to another's life" claim. someone else can look that up on wikipedia. but don't all of these "intrusion of privacy" claims have to involve some sort of actual INTRUSION? |

Date: June 12th, 2007 6:51 PM Author: Light flickering crackhouse mediation These claims are WAY over the line. I honestly believe sanctions are appropriate. They are suing one guy (apparently) for jokingly suggesting that another guy take a plaintiff's picture at the gym. It wasn't even a very lewdly crafted statement. I can't believe KVN and Yale Law School are involved in this nonsense. I'm wondering if some of the defendants can sue for harassment through frivolous lawsuits. If I were some of them, I'd out myself and countersue right now. There's no way in hell many of these defendants are going to be held liable for what they did. Many of the actions were barely even unethical. I'm vehemently against what a lot of the posters did to those girls, but that doesn't excuse this sweeping lawsuit against anyone who said anything even remotely insensitive. I'm sorry, but it's simply not "intentional infliction of emotional distress" to post on an internet message board about how you'd like to have sex with somebody.
