[quote name="Creexul :("][quote name="Senor Barborito"]The second part is that I would like people to stop trying to stalk myself and Veronica - posting my Metafilter comments and such over here. A clean break is needed on both sides - if some people honestly care that much and want to IM each other back and forth picking apart and having a good laugh over everything I say, more power to them. But I would ask that you keep it off Caltrops. Not only does it provide for a clean break, but it's a smart policy move for Caltrops in general not to stalk people in that fashion regardless of whether it is me or some other idiot. Were I the type of person who felt like being an asshole twice over (and PLEASE understand this is not meant as a threat, I'm simply making an honest legal vulnerability assessment here), a simple DMCA notification to Caltrops' webhost would probably be sufficient to get ICJ's account, and Caltrops, yanked within 24 hours. This is because under the DMCA webhosts and ISPs suffer equal financial penalty to their customers should their customers be convicted of copyright violation - and most message boards (including Metafilter, for one) grant posters copyright of their posts. Standard operating procedure within every webhost and ISP in the USA is to immediately pull the offending account upon receipt of DMCA notice and ask questions later, for one simple reason - the $15 or $25 a month you pay them is not worth the potential $150,000 per violation penalty of the DMCA.[/quote] You are going to be pink-lunged screamingly shocked at the amount of sb metafilter posts that will find themselves on all your favorite socialist support group websites from now on. So governer pick up that phone, there are some websites that need to be DMCAed. <b><i>Slashdot demands it.</b></i> At least they will until they're charged a potential $150,000. LiveJournal might have to take a fall for all this, as well. <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/evilneps/">http://www.livejournal.com/users/evilneps/</a>[/quote]
