Featured on Dec 4, 2025 by Null: Roy Philipose, a fat retarded slovenly jeet who humiliated himself over 10 years ago infront of Elon Musk, is suing the Kiwi Farms in the Copyright Claims Board.
In 2014, a hideous fat jeet named Roy Philipose approached Elon Musk in public and asserted he should be made CEO of Tesla because he is an extraordinarily brilliant mind. The Internet collectively laughed at him and the Kiwi Farms made a thread on him. This upset him greatly and in the TEN YEARS since, his izzat has never recovered.
Since 2019, he has been corresponding with me to try and litigate by email the removal of all content even referencing anything he's ever made. He has repeatedly DMCA'd me (counting dozens of DMCAs, almost all of them inadequate) and hired an attorney to file In re: DMCA in California to issue subpoenas to try and dox random Kiwi Farms users.
In July 2022, an Act of Congress established the Copyright Claims Board, which handles two things: small claims under $5000 and medium claims up to $30,000. It's basically the Judge Judy of copyright law. You can agree to use it and waive a ton of rights (notably, appeals) but in exchange you gain significant caps on damages and you can represent a business pro se (exceedingly rare) or use an attorney anywhere instead of needing to specifically hire an attorney admitted to the federal court of the Southern District of West Virginia (e.g. Hardin).
In late 2025, he began sending me dozens of DMCAs, one at a time, over weeks. I told him to finish them up and get them to me so I can review them all in one go, in particular so that I can review if they're even legitimate as he had made a habit of sending me totally incomplete complaints that did not qualify as valid DMCAs. He demanded that I immediately take time out to review them one-by-one as soon as he sent them. I told him no because he was effectively abusing the process to harass me, During this time he also began a formal process of trying to sue Lolcow LLC in the Copyright Claims Board.
Aside: If you don't remember, we lost our registered agent in Wyoming because an ex-FBI secretary accused us of being Russian assets (we used a .ru domain for less than a single day), thus violating a Biden executive order prohibiting registered agents from helping incorporate Russian-associated LLCs in the US. After months of being an LLC in bad standing, users discovered West Virginia is the only state in the country that allows use to register an LLC to a PO Box and use the Secretary of State as the Registered Agent, thereby foregoing any need to use a hired Registered Agent. We are now a West Virginia LLC.
On the 1st of this month, he served the Secretary of State of West Virginia, initiating a Copyright Claims Board lawsuit against Lolcow LLC.
This is an incredibly weak complaint wherein he effectively admits that (1) there's public interest in his works, and (2) that what he is claiming is a quote "derivative" (fair use).
So the question is: Do we invoke our Constitutional Rights to not submit ourselves to Judge Judy's court and demand Roy Philopose sue us in Federal Court (which he might), or do we play in Judge Judy's court and see what happens? The CCB is so new we don't really know what happens in it. Playing in the CCB means we greatly reduce our liabilities and reduce our expense in litigation (I can answer it myself!), but because it's so rare anyone even uses it we don't have a clue if the process is very unfairly slanted in favor of complainants.
