This is a video response to Thinking of filing a false DMCA claim by dprjones www.youtube.com www.copyright.gov The DMCA complaint sent to Youtube must contain: (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. (vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. (f) Misrepresentations. – Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section (1) that material or activity is infringing shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer. . . ————————————— Under certain rare circumstances you may be able to file a lawsuit anonymously. So says the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit: www.internetdefamationlawblog.com Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant #1, 06-1590-cv (2nd Cir. 2008) the Court found that a plaintiff may only sue anonymously if his need for anonymity outweighs both the prejudice to the opposing party and the publics interest in knowing the plaintiffs identity. It seems to me that you shouldnt have to give up your right to anonymity in Court in order to defend your right to speak anonymously on the internet. This is still unsettled law.

This trailer is being shown in California movie theaters as part of the “Jobs Not Lawsuits” campaign. Learn more at www.jobsnotlawsuits.com. “It’s very apparent to me that this whole case isn’t about justice. It was about trying to legally extort as much money as possible.” Vytas Juskys Los Angeles, California Vytas Juskys and his small business manage apartment buildings and are committed to constantly upgrading and making repairs to the homes of the tenants. He thought that improving their apartments and the common areas would help his residents love where they lived; he never expected that one of them would thank him with a lawsuit. Juskys was in the process of improving an apartment complex he had just acquired when he learned he was being sued. He had been making a variety of repairs to the building and the surrounding facilities, and he was posting regular repair notices on the tenants doors, as is required by law. But one tenant claimed that these notices caused her emotional distress, and she sued Juskys for $500000.
