Cultcow Russell Greer / @ 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

[Screw Danlon]

The book is on google drive but, as Null wrote back to him, the song is hosted and is inarguably Russ's IP. He nevertheless refused to honor the DMCA and specifically waived safe harbor on it. Were Russ a competent litigant I think Null would be in trouble.

He only waived safe harbor on it on the premise that it was being used in a fair use capacity, though. I think he’s probably correct (though I’m happy for an actual lawyer to correct me). But frankly, even if he isn’t, I think pushing back on intimidation over fair is important and I respect Josh for doing it.

 

[Lame Entropy]

God I wish he was competent enough to file properly. This looks dead in the water but the court proceedings would be amazing.

 

[The Dude]

I once knew a guy who got hit by a bus, stood up, staggered into the opposite lane of traffic, only for him to immediately be hit by a second bus which left him with permanent brain damage and a predilection for following and creeping out young girls and women.
Russell reminds me of that man.
Never change Russ you magnificent spastic.
You fill me with a nostalgia for the mid 2000's

That guy at least has the excuse that he suffered a horrific accident that led to his behavior. Russ was just born broken, both physically and psychologically.

I've pondered this, and the only way $5.3mil makes sense is if you keep in mind that Russell is really, really fucking stupid.

Thanks to this thread, any employer who googles Russell Greer is going to know what they're getting. He's even admitted in the past that the existence of this thread is why he can't get a paralegal job, and is stuck doing lower-paid, menial, office and janitorial work. So (in his mind) we're responsible for a major loss in earnings across his working life--40-45 years of working as a paralegal, and adjusting for potential inflation, could maybe come out to around $5.3million (I suck at math, so anybody who wants to flex their autism is welcome to do so).

What makes that really, really stupid is that if he wants to sue for that amount on those grounds, he should have sued for defamation of character, which led to loss of reputation, thus destroying a budding paralegal career that could have lasted 40-45 years. Sure, he would have absolutely no case, but it would at least make a bit more sense.

Suing for copyright infringement? Russell will have to prove that he suffered $5.3million in lost revenue from the alleged infringement, and/or that Lolcow LLC/Joshua Moon made $5.3million in profits specifically from the infringed-upon materials. But since he has made no money from any of his allegedly infringed-upon creative endeavors (and neither has Lolcow LLC/Joshua Moon in allowing them to be posted to Kiwi Farms), there are no damages.

Since he has filed for copyrights on everything, he could potentially be awarded statutory damages, in the unlikely event he proves his case. But those max out at $150,000 per incident of infringement, and to get that much you have to not only prove that the infringement was knowing and willful, but that the defendant has profited substantially from it. The financial status of the defendant is taken into account. No offense to Josh, but the broke-ass owner of an internet forum is not going to get hit with a $5.3million judgment. Not even close.

So the only thing I can figure is that Russell is suing for a financial judgment appropriate to a defamation case, but for some fucktarded reason has decided to fight it out over copyright infringement. And no, it makes no sense at all--until you remember that Russell is really, really fucking stupid.

I wouldn't put it past Russ (and his narcissistic ego) to believe that because his books and songs have been available to read/hear on the Farms that the loss of sales makes the $5.3mil fair.

And the funny thing about Russ not being able to get paralegal work is that he had lost his paralegal job long before the Farms ever had a thread on him. He got shit-canned from his last para job for using the company's computers and proprietary programs to look up confidential information on people. He got himself blacklisted from working in the legal field before we ever knew about him.

If you're right, this would interestingly put Russell in the Phil-esque position of waging a war against us that he wouldn't know what to do if he somehow actually won. If Kiwi Farms didn't exist, then who would he blame for his continued lack of employment as a paralegal, both to himself and his parents? Because it has to be because of us, certainly not because he's stupid, smalls bad, creeps on women, and misuses services provided by his employer to stalk his victims. Like Phil, Russ needs an enemy to explain why his life is shit. Because it's never his fault. But of course he does not realize this, because he has no conception of continuing to fail in his greater goals even if he wins his latest lawsuit.

Russ probably thinks that when he defeats the evil Kiwi Farms, that the money and fame he gets from it will turn his whole life around. Why, Taylor Swift will be so impressed, that she'll drop to her kness and blow him on the spot! Of course, even if he somehow won, the only blowjobs on offer would be from the likes of Vordrak, which he doesn't actually want. It wouldn't surprise me if winning this suit this becomes his all-purpose solve-all-his-problems-at-once fantasy like he had for those suits against Swift, Grande, etc. Because as a narc, he thinks he is destined for great things, and because he is a low-effort person, he thinks that this greatness is just around the corner instead of at the end of a long hard road that will make him get out and push a few times.

And by "Phil" my man @The Littlest Shitlord means ADF/Isabel Araujo-whatever the fuck/Phil Haskins-Delici, not Dark Side Phil. This Phil is a fake tranny wannabe Antifa analchest sooper suldier who lives in the Portland area and has had a hate boner for the Farms for a long time.

When you are issued a valid DMCA you must take down the material or you waive safe harbor. It doesn't matter on what premise you deny the DMCA (unless it's invalid!), If you do not follow it, you are no longer effectively covered under the umbrella of safe harbor.

This doesn't mean fair can't apply but it means you can't claim the easy out for a website- which is to say that a user posted it and that you can't be blamed. You have to actually argue the merits, instead. That's what Null was saying in his response to Greer- that he believes it's fair use and therefore it was staying up. But that means the website is liable if he's wrong.

 

[DuckSucker]

Electronic Communications Harassment, for being a big creep on the online

Also for looking like this user's avatar.

He looks like a fuckin Batman villain.

I know Null doesn't like being tagged, but I assume under circumstances he might like to know Russell Greer has filed a legal proceeding against him and Kiwi Farms for $5.3 million. Note that he filed in Utah! Mr. Skordas anyone???

Well that was an unexpected find!

Where the fuck does he get these ridiculous numbers for damages and shit?

Sorry he doesnt come across as phil ever

 

[HONKHONKTIME69]

Maybe the 5.3 million is the sum of some schizophrenic equation he made to determain the value of his copyright?

 

[Muncie Anderson]

Maybe the 5.3 million is the sum of some schizophrenic equation he made to determain the value of his copyright?

It's more likely that it's a number he randomly selected that also sounded like a reasonable figure to be awarded to him in the very unlikely event that he wins his suit against us.

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

Since I believe he registered the song it wouldn't be that hard to come to a ridiculous number. Multiply the views at a given time (if they were after registration) by the statutory maximum and it ads up quickly. It's why people often settle instead of fighting. Copyright's fucked.

It's hilarious if he's claiming actual damages, though.

Except he specifically fucked himself out of a job as a paralegal, because he illegally used the system at one law office to look up info on women he was stalking at the time and was fired for that idiocy and blackballed from getting hired elsewhere.

In addition to which, he specifically states in his own book that he was told by an actual lawyer that if he pursued trying to sue Taylor Swift, he would lose any chance of having a career in the legal field. And he preferred to ignore that warning and take his chances.

Even if somehow he was trying to argue that we robbed him of a legal career, he’s wrong, and he’s wrong by his own admissions.

One thing about Russ that does my head in is his ability to state, in his own publications and online admissions, the worst things about himself and his stupidest, most irrational choices, and somehow believe that they make him look sympathetic, instead of like a man who not only dug his own grave, but also hired his own priest, wrote his own eulogy, booked his own funeral, climbed down into his own casket and paid people to throw six feet of dirt onto him.

Then complained for three muffled minutes from underground that this burial was unfair and all the doings of Kiwi Farms, until his limited oxygen ran out.

I think thats why its sealed. I think its damages

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

I think thats why its sealed. I think its damages

He's asking the court to let him file without a fee because he's pissed away all his money on olive garden dates and suing taylor swift. That motion is sealed because it includes personal financial information. He did it with his last lolsuit too after we posted his sad economic details here. The rest should be public.

 

[theworstkindofeurofag]

Really going all out to secure that cow of the year.

He's the cow that keeps on giving.

 

[Fandom Trash]

Weak sauce. He should have asked for 100 billion dollars like Dr. Evil did.

 

[kadoink]

Russell Greer is gonna be the only person at his own funeral.

 

[The Un-Clit]

lol why 5.3 million specifically?

Bamboon logic, of course.

I wondered why the Greer thread has suddenly sprouted 10 new pages in a 12 hour period! I jumped back in hoping to hear that Ratmouth was arrested trying to break into Erika's house with a dollar-store fake rose clenched between his teet......oh wait. Fuck. So much for that mental image.

Of course what I got was something FAR tastier. Mad props to @LiveFromNS for ferreting out this gem! I wonder how long it would have taken for Russ to announce it? Probably after a week of hints and innuendo, trying to draw up interest from an audience that consists of trolls and the occasional short-term nutrider or orbiter. "If I don't see 10 likes, I am not going too share my big secret with you all!!"

Of course we all know this is complete bullshit. He's too thirsty for validation and kudos to not crow it to the rafters that he's suing the grand master engineer of the Internet Hate Machine itself, KIWI FARMS for fuck you money, it's all coming up roses for Rusty!!!!!

The REEEEEEEEEing will be epic when it's tossed immediately.

 

[Distant Stare]

I wonder if anyone but me has ever watched this and thought of this place

 

[Pill Cosby]

For 5 mil he could have the hottest e-thot on speed dial.; they will milk him for every penny and the retard still wouldn't be none the wiser.

 

[Weeb Slinger]

I'm sure the 5.3 million number is as autistic as anything else he does. IIRC he had some stupid reason for the number he chose for the Swift suit and had obviously just constructed his way to that number using nonsense arguments.

Null has specifically said how he will accept service and basically dared Russ to do it

Russ may STILL be too stupid to follow the instructions

The troupe of infinite monkeys, currently attempting to reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare, will successfully serve a lawsuit long before Russell manages to do so.

 

[Underestimated Nutria]

Is it possible to inform the court that Greer is only a pauper because he wastes his money on criminal activity, by his own admission?
