I took a look at the Cabin Boy’s™ latest website (so you don’t have to). Is The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt™ really being sponsored by the Rigellian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Androids?

Never pick a fight with a man who buys pixels by the terabyte.
Reblogged this on Dead Citizen's Rights Society.
So glad to see you blogging again and feeling better, Paul.
A sponsor is actually someone or some organization which knows you exist, and supports your efforts. Do we really think the sponsors listed on the website know they are sponsors?
RSPCA — The leading UK animal welfare society.
Its taking all my strength not to type out the obvious joke about monkey abuse.
Cousin Bill’s new book is up at createspace -_Axis of Weasels_, subtitled “How Right Wing Extremists Exploit Self-Publishing Websites to Silence Opinion”. (No linkee-love from me.)
The self-written description is laughable butthurtery.
Looks like he published it at brainslices.wix.com, as well.
Somebody might want to let John Steins know that Bill is infringing on his trademark…
Or Scott Ott: http://www.amazon.com/Axis-Weasels-Scott-Ott/dp/097614140X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400777055&sr=8-1&keywords=Axis+of+Weasels
I note he’s not doing a e-book version. I assume so it will take longer for folks to get copies and see if new copyright or privacy violations exist?
I should add that his description admits by implication to using a photograph without permission of the copyright holder or the living person it depicted, as well as using a blog post (of course omitting to mention the 107 comments he also copied), again by implication, without even attempting to get permission.
Might it make a great piece of plaintiff’s evidence for anyone considering filing a copyright suit?
you know he might actually have a point if it wasn’t for the fact that he did NOT have the right to use the pieces that got the books dropped in the first place. The owners did, and did not give him permission (and he didn’t ask either), instead he just took what he wanted to take, used it the way he wanted and then got all pissy when the publishers weren’t willing to risk a court case to defend his supposed right to infringe…
If he wants to make the point that it should take more than just a declaration to prove copyright infringement in order to keep books from being pulled for nothing then make that case, but don’t expect your own evidence of copy right infringement to back you up on it…
O.o
Do we know that Ott trademarked his title? Because you can’t (generally) copyright the title of a book. But you can trademark it.
Hmmm. Can’t find it, although I stumbled on a number of things he is hawking I had no idea existed.

If you just go to the main Createspace page and type in the title or author you won’t get anything unless you’ve clicked the drop box at the beginning of the search entry line and made sure is says “STORE”.
The blurb is laughable, and written in his not quite inimitable third-person style.
He is his own PR firm. I read something on PR Web about one of his publications, no doubt written by him, but talking about himself in the third person.
Actually, I believe that is the Rod Stewart Pancake Cooking Association.
We drive Cousin Bill’s actions – the “our sponsors” banner vanished within minutes…
Dance, Monkey, Dance!!
😉
Bill – you might want to take a quick peek at the security of the “staff login” widget…
No point in inviting prankery, and the resulting butthurt, right?
Look at who is listed under “Our Friends”. (http://blubbersuesbloggers.com/)
Oh yeah he’ll definitely want to remove that link considering the body of the last post there…
O.o
Rigellian? There is no Memory Alpha on planet Jiggles.
It’s fun to stay at the
RSPCA!
It’s fun to stay at the
RSPCA-yay!
I sense a disturbance in the farce…
…can another Krendler parody be far behind??
I don’t know yet. Billy’s been relatively content free the last day or two – as opposed to his usual “intelligent content free” posts, so I may be forced to think up something original.
A slight shifting of gears may be required. And more free time…
I certainly hope so, Leroy. From your keyboard to Paul’s eyes. 🙂
Oh, pish tosh, Satire King. You can do much better without his direct input.
We don’t neeed no steeeeekin’ content!! 🙂
Perhaps not, so I;m jumping in …
Paul,
Wicked funny!
Wile E. has always been a favorite of mine…
Ask, and ye shall receive…
Everybody go check out the new book I just published!

Perhaps someone is channeling their inner Si Robertson?
Based on the vapid taunting – no suit was filed – or going to be file – or in the fantasy world of liberlanduim – going anywhere if on the miracle it gets filed

So do you think if he, purely by accident and happenstance, a complete coincidence if you will, put up the NAMBLA logo, that NAMBLA would ask him to take it down to avoid being associated with him?
NAMBLA has standards….
Those Marlin Brando fans do NOT mess around.
Miami Marlin Brandos?
Beat me to it Rob.
I’d expect TDBK to notify the board immediately as a professional courtesy… [rimshot]
And the lies continue “over being sued YET AGAIN for” Again? Our host has been sued twice. Both by the perjuring bomber. NO suit has been filed by the Cabin Boy. If it has, he should point out where it’s listed in PACER. Not in PACER? Then you haven’t sued anyone. It’s such a simple concept you’d think that even the Cabin Boy would grasp it.

Can the AoW jock strap be far behind?
Incidentally, the above is in reference to Donald Rumsfeld’s reference to Germany and France as the AoW circa 2002, when they refused to support US intervention in Iraq, IIRC.
Also, I have no relationship, financial or otherwise, to the above Cafe Press store.
Nope, Rumsfeld never said it — as much as he might have liked to. Scott Ott coined the term.
Thank you for the correction.
Holy sweet mother of Pearl!
Somebody bought a copy of AoW!
Now, when the takedown gets filed, be sure to point out that the author is a serial offender in this regard – he admits republishing the same infringing work under different titles, deliberately, to vex people.
Soon, Cousin Bill will be as radioactive with self-publishers as he is with The Examiner, DailyKos, etc.
He never learns…
I haz a screen cap…
Bill’s definition of “phony copyright claims” would I suspect be the subject of much laughter and scorn amongst lawyers who actually practice IP law.
If he really thinks Hoge and the Lickspittles™ have just “invented” all these copyright claims, why did he bother “fixing” them? If he’s the one in the right, why not simply republish the manuscript unchanged? He must have proof that he has the right to use those photos and blog posts without even attribution, never mind permission, right? Or, perhaps, is he tacitly admitting that he did do some things which maybe he shouldn’t have?
indeed, if the copyright claims are phony, then there is no need to “fix” anything…
one would think the admittance of needing to “fix” something to avoid a “phony” copyright claim merely affirms that the claims aren’t phony at all….
O.o
I wonder if BS will lie in his deposition about the Sheikh.
Heh. Shaky Sheikhy.
