Anyone who is against the concept of a lawsuit doesn't understand that this sets a precedent that companies cannot just fucking take down websites over lies and get away with it, no matter how controversial they may be.
i fully support this, because it's definitively actionable in civil court. my concern is that epik will settle, and in doing so, will require an nda from null, which would negate his ability to use this as a precedent for future litigation.
The more likely outcome is that they end up retracting the statements and put a more sane person in their place. A public retraction is as good or better than any win in a lolsuit.
i disagree. a public retraction
and a very public legal victory is what is needed to secure future victories.
How much money could be made from legally bullying Epic?
who knows?
it's my understanding that this is less about money, and more about establishing a legal precedent in the farms' favor, thereby giving the farms greater ability to contend with its detractors and any future litigation that may be necessary.
What the fuck is even happening anymore?
insanity. this is insanity.
but it sure is interesting that it's gone from the u.s. authorities and csam to simple hate speech, porn, and doxxing.
Does it have to be a check/money order or can I just mail cash?
do not send cash (or prepaid gift cards) through the mail!!!
not only is there a risk that the cash (or gift card) could be stolen, but if it is stolen, and it's stolen by a morally bankrupt postal carrier, then it raises the likelihood that that carrier will look for more being sent to that address.
More info on this process, if you have it handy, would be appreciated for us old-timers. I did crypto once to Null, it was a pita and I'd rather just send a damn money order out. I will commit $100 and have to hit the bank this week anyway.
a pre-paid gift card can be purchased at stores for a few dollars over the amount that you want to put on it, or you can inquire with your financial institution. my credit union offers them for any amount up to $3000 with a $3 fee. again, do not mail pre-paid gift cards. all the information needed to activate it will be available to anyone who steals it. instead, use it (instead of a credit or debit card) to donate to the site that null announced that he will be setting up:
Regarding concerns for fiat, I believe that you will have two options:
1. Pay by card on a website I am going to set up on a different domain.
2. Mail a check to my escrow attorney.
if you intend to mail something, inquire with your financial institution or the post office about money orders and/or cashier's checks, which are pre-paid and are only payable to the person to whom they're written.
Can we write and mail an old fashioned bank check without doxxing ourselves or having our bank toss us?
most financial institutions are willing to print a sheet of regular checks for those with an account. these are not pre-paid; they'll withdraw from your account when they're cashed, which unfortunately means that they are directly linked to your account, though you can usually request to not have your name and/or address printed on them.
