The problem with responding to false-flag DMCA claims is that unless you have an attorney responding to it for you, the claimant is going to dox you when you provide your contact information for the dispute. It’s how Fat got the old OnA subreddit taken down: false flagging posts that were auto-deleted by Reddit, which couldn’t be challenged without Fat getting the poster’s personal identifying information and then using that information to unjustly sue them and serve them with a meritless lawsuit for purposes of lawfare.
We saw this strategy play out when, instead of having doxed 60 people from his Reddit takedowns and therefore being able to sue them individually for saying his book was ‘not good,’ he filed a lawsuit against 60 John Does for the specific purpose of doxing them. Which is how he got into debt to Quasi in the first place. Because he wanted to dox trolls but do it legally, except there’s no legal way to dox people who aren’t breaking the law, and he’s not — well, I almost said he ain’t a fucking pig, but let me rephrase, he isn’t a member of law enforcement.
It’s easier, in every sense of the word, to take down the media and “keep circulating the tapes” privately than to let this litigious drunk with anger management issues know where you live. It’s also funnier, because there’s no way at all for Fat to stop that memetic spread of information.
