Anonymous Coward , 10 Jul am. It fits her like a glove. C'mon, paywall bob! I'm still waiting to see how you can spin all of this into some SOPA-related victory Cory of PC profile , 10 Jul am. I'm also selling marshmallows in case there's going to be some nice flames coming from Carreon. That Anonymous Coward profile , 10 Jul pm. Carreon has a new website and is pushing for a new tort law to protect people from distrusted internet reputation attacks. Lurker Keith , 10 Jul am.
Boing Boing has a first hand account of what handling that much cash is like. Apparently, Matt invited whoever wrote this article over to help him manipulate the cash. There are also more pics there. John Doe , 10 Jul am. However, he claimed "victory" When I was in high school, a punk kid was picking on myself and a friend.
Finally my friend got in a fight with the kid, got him in a headlock and proceeded to punch him in the face repeatedly. The punk finally pushed away and asked my friend if he had had enough. I guess the punk felt like my friends arm might have been getting tired?
That One Guy profile , 10 Jul am. Anonymous Coward , 11 Jul am. BentFranklin profile , 10 Jul am. It's one thing to chide someone for overreacting to internet criticism if they try to use IP laws for censorship, and that's newsworthy. But let's not give continued provocation like this so much press.
Stay above the fray. When I recommend Techdirt to my friends and this is what they see they click away before they get a look at the scary stuff. It detracts from your message and makes Techdirt look less serious. Carreon made an idiot of himself it's true. But now that he has withdrawn and is licking his wounds while admittedly claiming the least convincing win in history.
Perhaps we can now get back to how Inman has accused people of theft, when no one has stolen anything and has basically refused to use the DMCA process with regards to funnyjunk and then whined about having to do so to get stuff he doesn't want up taken down, even when funnyjunk have gone to the lengths of chasing down everything he complains about outside the DMCA process and tried to take them down too.
And though he hasn't threatened to litigate, which is to his credit, he has otherwise adopted much of the same tone and attitude as the MPAA and RIAA which writers and readers here normally consider to be irrational and unreasonable. Niall profile , 10 Jul am. He is entitled to whine. We care more about actual abuses of the system, or when the whiners are massively hypocritical. In this case, Inman may have moaned a bit, but then he let it be. Somehow, I don't think Inman is anywhere like in the same league.
If TechDirt had to post a story every time someone whined about the DMCA but didn't do much else, we'd drown under even more crud than the trollshills spout. You have valid points there, but we do also castigate them for claiming that copyright infringement is theft a statement Inman has also made. We also castigate them for complaining about said "theft" rather than simply using the DMCA process which is there to specifically deal with the complaint of others using your work without permission and Inman has also complained about being expected to use it.
Carreon's idiotic behaviour was obnoxious and a distraction and indeed an entertainment albeit of the sideshow tattooed and bearded pig lady variety but some of Inman's attitudes are of a piece with the nonsense heard from the copyright extremists. Of course he is "entitled" to whine, but he doesn't deserve to be praised for doing so unreasonably just because Carreon was a bigger douche. Marcel de Jong profile , 10 Jul am.
Inman was wrong for calling it theft, if he has done so haven't seen proof for that yet, to be honest, I haven't looked for it either But why would we keep saying it, if Inman hasn't called it theft ever since?
Should we keep banging on that old saw? Marcel de Jong profile , 12 Jul am. Indeed, he does call it stolen in those blogposts, and that's probably bad, but to be fair, his copyright notices have been removed from the comics. Which is worse than just copyright infringement, it's removing every bit of credit he could get from it.
Sure he still has the originals, but if you don't know who's property it is, how can you find them? Anonymous Coward , 10 Jul pm. I don't get your point. All of this was reported on in the course of Techdirt's coverage along with the coverage I've read from other sources. If people are inclined to make judgements on this kind of behaviour then they can draw their conclusions and make their judgements on the basis of such reporting.
Personally I think it was a bit silly of Inman, but find such silliness to be trivial and entirely normal on the internet and note the comedic nature of his website and how very apt and appropriate a bit of internet silliness is in that context. This is why I mildly judge but mostly don't care about that unfunny comic woman reported on Techdirt as having an internet hissy fit at Something Awful. Yeah, her behaviour is a bit silly, but it's the internet stupid.
