Cultcow Russell Greer / Mr. Green / @ just_some_dude_named_russell29 / A Safer Nevada PAC - Swift-Obsessed Sex Pest, Convicted of E-Stalking, "Eggshell Skull Plaintiff" Pro Se Litigant, Homeless, aspiring brothel owner

[Useful_Mistake]

From what I understand filing as a poor requires you file in good faith, and both Greer and Melinda have shown they clearly aren't. Can't someone file to have their IFP status removed?

And isn't there some finding a court can do that says people are just filing shit to harass the shit out of someone? Does that need to be requested by Null or is it something a judge has to wise up and figure out that these assholes are just filing shit to target Null?

Court holds an inherent power to control IFP. If they feel like it's being abused, they can take it away (sua sponte or by a motion), impose sanctions, or otherwise restrict the ability to abuse the system.

That being said, these are considered extreme remedies, and you have to keep pissing off the court for quite a long time.

Usually if they feel like the complaint (filed with IFP) was meritless they will sua sponte dismiss the complaint.

Also: Random thought. If Greer and Scott are filing IFP, does that mean their victims can send the damages bill to the court? I mean, if the court is paying their legal

No, that's up to Greer and Scott to pay out if awarded.

Gregory Keenan, Andrew Grimm, and Russell Greer are all shit-eating faggots who should probably not be allowed alone with children and should hang themselves.

ngl I was surprised when I saw this filing was apparently written by Andrew Grimm. From my armchair, his writing style looks a lot like Russhole's.

It's little things like this:

What does disability have to do with this application for extension?

This, which was was on page 6 (lol), also gives me reason to believe that Grimm and Russhole may be kindred spirits.

Were it not for the fact that Russhole is referred to consistently throughout this filing as "Mr. Greer" instead of just "Greer", I'd be almost certain that this was ghostwritten by Russhole. At the very least, it reads a bit like email copypasta with some massaging from Grimm to try and wash out some of the excess plights.

Noggin status: a'joggin.

Upon reviewing the full doc, I find it interesting that the only claim of Russhole's that's mentioned as valid and the subject of "complex legal questions" that the lawyers asked for more time to research was his contributory copyright infringement claim. This does make sense as copyright issues (specifically denying the fair use defense) seems to be what this alleged nonprofit team of lawyers focuses on in their practice. But it makes me wonder if these lawyers plan on dropping all of Russhole's frivolous false light/defamation/harassment claims and not arguing them on appeal. Not saying that's a bad strategy, as we've long acknowledged the contributory copyright infringement claim was the only one with the slightest bit of merit behind it. Judge Campbell made it clear Russhole's hysterical rantings against Null and Skordas were blatantly made in bad faith, so repeating them to the appeals court would likely do nothing but irritate the judges and make them view his lawsuit as the vexatious garbage that it is.

The question is, will Russhole accept dropping those claims? His pursuit of damages for contributory copyright infringement has always been secondary to him trying to legally force members of Kiwi Farms to stop making fun of him. Most of his filings were filled with him whining about how his fee-fees were being hurt. Could he be convinced to give up those claims forever (by not bringing them up on appeal and therefore accepting their dismissal with prejudice from the lower court) for a better (if not good) chance of actually winning a lawsuit for the first time in his life? Or will his malignant narcissism demand that his lawyers continue to pursue damages for his "head tightening" and "trauma lumps"?

They want:
1. To kill Fair Use
2. Build up a rep of killing fair use so big firm hires them.

Yes.

What was mentioned was their litigation history which is painfully short. All of it can be found in this, this, this, this posts. Since nearly all of their contributions have been Amicus Briefs and not representations of Clients, I don't believe there is a single case they have "won"

Here are some other lawsuits I found that these "nonprofit" lawyers have been involved in:

InfoDeli, et al v. Western Robidoux, Inc. - Keenan and Grimm signed up to represent the Plaintiffs on appeal. The litigation history of this case goes all the way back to 2015. I couldn't find updated documentation on how the appeal went (and I don't have access to PACER), but from what I did find it looked like there were charges of conspiracy involved as well as copyright claims (I believe over some software). This press release from a law firm would seem to indicate that Keenan and Grimm took an L:

Designworks Homes, Inc. v. Columbia House of Brokers Realty, Inc. - Keenan and Grimm again joined the Plaintiff's team on appeal. The Plaintiff is an architect who designs houses. Defendants were attempting to sell some of those houses on behalf of the owners. As part of their attempt to sell the houses, they created floor plans of the houses to show prospective buyers and used them in promotional materials. Plaintiff alleged that this infringed on his copyright as he did not give permission for them to create or distribute the floor plans. The lower court found this was not infringement based on 17 U.S.C. 120(a), but on appeal the Eighth Circuit found that statute only covered artistic representations (like paintings) and not floor plans. The Eighth Circuit remanded the case back to the lower court to consider the Defendants' other potential defenses against the claim of copyright infringement. I don't know whether the case has gone anywhere since then.

Out of every case they filed briefs for, I don't believe a single case went in their favor (that is, the client they filed the brief for lost the case). But as others smarter than me have said, it's not about winning, it's about building a reputation and joining some big corporation's legal team.

If I recall, removing IFP status is complicated and on a state-by-state basis. If it was removed, they'd simply file in another state. The only way to get them to stop is for them to personally suffer.

fucking hell. null do u wanna do a gives n go for the legal fees? apparently theyre not as fucky as kickstarter idk. can't believe someone would help this guy with his frivolous bullshit.

Null has been personally banned from every fundraising website for the simple crime of running this website. If he could do it any other way, he would.

 

[Space Cooter]

Stanford law is $48,000 per year plus fees, books etc. Maybe there are scholarships/bursaries etc but given these modern day Clarence Darrows are representing Russell, I’m guessing they didn’t get those

Imagine going in to over 200k of debt (or having your parents pay for it) and instead of doing some useful to justify that investment, you spend your time representing a lonely sex pest in a lawsuit against a recluse who runs an obscure gossip website.

The gender specials at Starbucks with their gender studies degrees are making better use of their education than these fucks

they're not ambulance chasers, they're political activists

So they're at least one rung below ambulance chasers, then.

As others have said, they have a plan. They don't care if they win or lose- they want to be seen as anti-Fair Use, so they can be picked up by some big corporation's legal team.

Incidentally, since they don't care if they win or lose, it means they're simply using Russ for their own ends. It's cold comfort, knowing they're using him the way he wanted to use Taylor Swift.

Russ really is the gift that keeps on giving. Lets hope this all gets dealth with swiftly.

It's going to be interesting! If they picked this case on a keyword search for "fair use", or whatever, it means they don't know who they're dealing with. Russell will not accept any instructions to stop filing diary entries with the court.

What's great about Russ is that on the surface he'd look like your ideal defendant: visibly disabled, victimized by all. When they realize what's actually going on these legal eagles might regret their choices.

I'll admit, until you pointed it out, I thought it was written by Russ. They write so similarly, and I just forgot to check who wrote it.

If I recall, removing IFP status is complicated and on a state-by-state basis. If it was removed, they'd simply file in another state. The only way to get them to stop is for them to personally suffer.

By removing you mean revoking from a specific lawsuit, or banning from IFP? Two different things.

It wouldn't surprise me if these guys have some sort of monitoring service set up to troll for potential anti-fair use claims in the same way copyright trolls scan YouTube to take down videos that don't hit any automated content searches.

What's great about Russ is that on the surface he'd look like your ideal defendant: visibly disabled, victimized by all. When they realize what's actually going on these legal eagles might regret their choices.

TBH this is the most interesting part of this story arc. Will Grimm and Keenan nope the fuck out once they realise who they are dealing with, or will they double down? What makes this especially delightful is that in their apparent quest to make themselves marketable as potential legal hotshots for corporate media entities, they may end up making themselves anything but. I wonder how many copyright infringement suits Fremantle's legal team has on the go at any given time?

They're trying to score easy wins for multinational media conglomerates by joining shitty little disputes like this.

Man, that's fucked. Trying to build precedent with random lolsuits.

The latter.

 

[AnOminous]

These are ideologues. They're a much more dangerous animal.

No ideologue cares about getting rid of fair use. Only fiends like the RIAA/MPAA etc. do. They're trying to make a name for themselves and maybe get hired by Morrison & Foerster or one of those IP firms people from Stanford and Harvard get hired by.

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

It's a good idea for the Anti Fair Use group to do this lawsuit, after all it'll be a blessing when they can be used as a example.

 

[AnOminous]

their organisation does nothing but argue against fair use of copyrighted material. every case they pick up, they do this.
remember russ ranting about null referencing fair use in the website FAQ section? that's their angle. they see an opportunity to argue against fair use, that's why they attached themselves to this case.

I wonder if they know there's not even a fair use argument in this case because Russ didn't even get past the threshold issue of pleading contributory infringement properly.

 

[moocow]

Summary: This could get very expensive. If you were thinking of donating to Null's war chest, now would be a good time.

I've already sent this month's check. Everyone else should too.

As others have said, they have a plan. They don't care if they win or lose- they want to be seen as anti-Fair Use, so they can be picked up by some big corporation's legal team.

They've got to win something though, don't they? What corporation would hire attorneys who've never won (or helped someone win) a case?
