I unzipped the files to look at the Exhibits, and they're pathetic.
That said, his complaint was stamped as Received by the US District Court, Utah Division, in Salt Lake City on September 16, 2020, at 9:55 AM MST.
I take it he submitted it electronically, because he had to make his Orem City Court appearance on that same day (most likely from his attorney's office in American Fork), at 1:30 PM MST.
I can just imagine him sitting on the edge of his bed, in his perpetually semen-starched skivvies, logging in on the US District Court site in between gobs of muffin and swigs of chocolate milk, and smashing the "Submit" button while saying, "I'll show you, Kiwi Farms! Nobody gets between Russell Greer and his dreams!" And then getting up to put on his crusty, ill-fitting suit and slouching off to the nearest light rail stop so he can get to American Fork in time for his court appearance for electronic harassment charges that weren't going to go away so easily after all.
What a life. What a fucking life. Russell, you fucking genius; you deserve all the fame in the world for being such a spectacular failure.
So I sat down and read Butternut's legal screed. You're right; if this was purely about copyright, it'd be about one page long. No, this whole screed is not about copyright; rather, it's Russell screaming about how we hurt his feelings and he wants someone to do something about it.
It's like he couldn't decide whether to file suit for defamation or copyright infringement, so he went with the latter while including all of the complaints of the former.
A lot of people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder get misdiagnosed because of similar outward symptoms. When they're cruising on their narcissism and things are going well for them, they can seem like they're in a manic episode. But when the truth slaps them in their face and their ego gets bruised, they suffer from narcissistic injury which can seem a lot like depression. Russ probably does have a Bipolar misdiagnosis because there's no way he would have been honest with his head shrinker and his family likely didn't know the symptoms of NPD to inform the therapist who diagnosed him.
Also, keep in mind he was really young when allegedly diagnosed with bipolar--I want to say 20, after he was sent home early from his mission for saying he wanted to kill himself (IIRC).
Human brains don't finish the massive process of rearranging themselves that starts in adolescence until around age 24. A lot of typical teenage and college-age behavior is because they literally have brain damage. And during that period, a lot of teenagers and young adults do show traits similar to those found in adults with Cluster B personality disorders--grandiosity, a high need for attention and validation, casual cruelty and lack of empathy, constantly-shifting identities, hair-trigger extreme emotional reactions.
But are they really Narcissists, Borderliners, or Histrionics? Or are those behaviors they will mature out of as they get further into their twenties? A therapist who needs to reach a diagnosis for insurance billing purposes is going to be reluctant to diagnose a very young adult with what is effectively an untreatable personality disorder that will limit their options for any treatment in the future (many therapists will not take on Cluster Bs).
Over in the Deathfats forum, we've got Jude Valentin, who is 24 years old and claims to have C-PTSD, when it's screamingly obvious she's a full-blown Narcissist, with Borderliner features. Like Russell's "bipolar," I'm convinced her "C-PTSD" is a placeholder diagnosis, but that eventually she'll get a bit older, change therapists again, and finally get pegged as a full-blown Narc, because, like Russell, her ideas about herself, her abilities, and her rightful place in the world are just so ludicrously overinflated.
