I don't think it is because Uniquemkt can actually put together a sentence. Gideon writes like a dyslexic 5th grader. However, I wouldn't be shocked if he is a friend or relative here to help limit the damage.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks". Fuck you!

Not sure why anyone is getting emotional over my posts, but so far there is a real lack of substance in it. Find something you disagree with, show me how I'm wrong (and actually wrong, not this-is-how-i-think-it-should-work wrong), and I'll be happy to agree.

So far in this thread, I've demonstrated how laws here aren't the same as laws elsewhere, how citizens of other countries are bound by the laws of that country and not by ours, how contracts can say things that they can't enforce, how other countries burden different parties in copyright notices, how common carrier status is more important to a service provider than your content is, and how a lot of people are hurting at the butt because they don't understand the situation or have re-written the text of posts in their head to mean something they disagree with. I haven't argued to free content or defended anyone who is making content available that it shouldn't or any of the offenses you guys are upset about, so I don't feel that a F-U is really appropriate.

That kind of damage control never helps, it only adds fuel to the fire. It keeps the topics bumped, and infuriates the angry even more so they continue their rampage.

Get off your high horse. Some of us have put up with this assholes shit, stealing and taunts for years. Bow out and watch from the sidelines. Unless of course you are involved with him. In which case fuck you, again.

.

So what you're saying is, you don't have a problem with anything I've said, you just have a problem because it was problem day? In another thread I've asked for an example of him messing with someone's ability to make a living (opinions on a message board don't count), I'm guessing you aren't reading that one but I extend that request to you as well. From what I've read (granted I started reading roughly a year ago and only registered a few months back), he holds unpopular opinions and is vocal with them, but hasn't actually stolen anyone's content or otherwise hurt someone's ability to make a living. I'm an open minded person and I am open to being corrected if that happened, but I haven't seen it yet. Sorry if that means you won't like me either, but I still don't feel like your F-U is deserved.

Way too logical.

He is time shifting it, you don't need a license for that. </sarcasm>

I really suggest people read up on Fair Use and what it really means. GG may be going to far with it (i don't think a US court would agree that torrents qualify as a method to back up data), but the Fair Use exceptions do lay out scenerios where someone can use your content in various ways, some you'd probably rather they didn't. This is in fact part of the bargain you make when you copyright your works. This applied to the US, of course other countries will differ. Canada in particular has vastly different rules, partially because content producers get revenue from a piracy tax levied on recordable media and other devices.

Let me guess, you got your freetard membership card in the mail today.

.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh - I have not read this entire thread (yet), but if there is any question that you are either GG or work for the same company, that has certainly been dispelled.

As far as I know he never stole anything, but he ADVOCATED the theft of content. Can't you imagine how that made those who made their livings off said content feel? As others have mentioned, he didn't do any business or other socializing here but seemed to show up for the sole purpose of spouting his drivel. Additionally he clings to his misguided interpretation of 'fair use' fervently despite being told how wrong he is on numerous occasions. All in all, he brought whatever happens upon himself.

For the record, I don't think you and him are the same person. His ramblings made my head hurt, and you obviously have some command of cognitively linking one sentence to the next.

Not sure why you would make that association, honestly. I haven't defended anyone's right to anything that aren't given to them by law, I'm just saying you might want to read up on the fair use exemption because it can affect your content.

I think your sole purpose posting here is to deflect attention from the real issue. Now fuck off!

.

This is more or less what I've seen. His opinions aren't popular and go against what most people believe in. I've said a few times, I don't agree that his version of "fair use" is compatible with US law, but it might actually be compatible with Canadian law in certain circumstances (II doubt those circumstances apply to anyone posting on GFY). Also, a LOT of people who are posting (including GG) don't appear to understand what copyright and fair use legislation actually provides, and its frustrating trying to make a point based in legislation with someone who is only reacting to their emotional response to what they think the law should be. Some of the things GG said really are legit based on US law; others, not so much.

I also agree that he seemed mostly like a one-topic kind of poster, although there were some exceptions.

What I don't agree with is that his opinions or advocacy was a tangible detriment to anyone's ability to make a living, and I don't agree that people going after his job is a fair response to an unpopular opinion. We can disagree on that, and I won't tattle on you.

No, the real issue is that people don't understand copyright laws in different countries (and most don't understand them in the US either) and are making uneducated statements about them anyway.

PS - It might be easier to add "fuck off" to your sig so you don't have to keep typing it. I'd much rather you brought some substance to the discussion instead though.

So start a fucking new thread.

.

Memo to you: No one gives the smallest ratfuck what you think.

Just FYI, hope that helps you understand.

That's fine, I extend that courtesy to you as well.

No, this is actually the topic of this thread.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Get a clue.


.

The difference being that I already know that, you seem to be laboring under the delusion that this isn't the case or trolling on a 2 month old account. I suppose you're bumping the thread with his personal information in it and compounding the harm to him so either way it's not all useless :thumbsup

Ok, this is my chance to get some insight into tthe mind of L-Pink: What do you think this thread is about?

This thread is about taunting content/property owners just like the last 5 years of GG's posts. Everyone knows that but you.

.

Nah I'm just not an advocate for spreading misinformation, or for getting people fired for bullshit reasons... And my account is 4 months old for the calendar-impaired. For what its worth, it does seem like the posting of that information and the related firestorm is a ban-able offense (gfy rules #9 and #10, link at the bottom of the page), but GFY mods don't seem to mind.

Kind of like my ex-wife, projecting your personal reality doesn't change the real world. This thread was about a foreign website asking for recuperation of costs associated with an invalid copyright takedown request, and wrongly presenting that as the only means of having content removed.

I'm pretty confident Gideon has not been fired. I would guess if people really did contact his employer they told him to get off this board and try to get the links to their site pulled and he can stay. He scrambled, got the links pulled and now is gone.

That's not WHY it was posted. You remain clueless. G'night.

.

I hope this is the case, For the record, I wouldn't have much of an issue with running him off the board, deleting his posts, or whatever. Its a privately owned web site with commercial purposes, and commercial speech is not protected by the first amendment. It would show a level of intolerance that seems to be expected on GFY, but such is the internet.

Not sure I'm going to get into a metaphysical read-between-the-lines i-know-what-you're-thinking type of discussion, I loaned my divining crystals at a friend's house so I can only see the actual content.

WTF? I'm amazed that anyone is defending him if that is indeed from GG's website. :disgust

ADG

Was this actually confirmed as coming from GG? I looked for any sort of confirmation and didn't find anything. I will say that its kind of odd that people would say he isn't in porn and at the same time that he runs kiddie porn sites. Numerous times in this thread it has been pointed out that GG is not in the industry. Can we get a consensus on this?

Take the hint.

I also enjoy talking in third person... carry on.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings too much to get kicked off, I wasted too much time on here today as it is. Thanks for the support though! :thumbsup

well done uniquemkt i thought we were down a fucking idiot but apparently not :1orglaugh

http://i.qkme.me/eno.jpg

I believe that you meant to say, "Beaner enjoys talking in the third person... carry on." :fart

ADG

Are you going to point out something I said that was incorrect, or are you just on your period and need to lash out?

Good catch.

1. Those are two differnt things. Those that do that are not part of this industry as far as at least I am concerned.

2. Watch the fucking terms you use in your posts. You will see the ban hammer come down quick.

.

The rules are pretty clear on #2 there, and I believe I was well within the rules. People claiming he was involved in that material, however, are in clear violation of rule #7, link at the bottom of the page.

And #1 might be a technicality, but I'll accept it. Still wondering if there was any confirmation on that, as it would have been grounds for immediate banning per that rule #7, and a much more efficient method of getting rid of him.
