Clueless Judges
Awhile back, I wrote about some Clueless Internet Lawyers. In additional to the stuff I mentioned in that post, these assholes also play a nasty trick on folks. They send you a cease and desist letter, but claim copyright on the letter, with the intent of prevent you from telling folks about their actions. See, C&Ds are often used to intimidate people. Often, the only recourse people have is to try and gain some publicity. These assholes try to cut that avenue off. Basically, they're bullying assholes that should be shot dead in the alley. (Not that I advocate actually shooting them. But I wouldn't shed any tears. Yes, I'm cold-hearted.)
Anyway, they found a judge dumb enough to believe them.
