[edit] DMCA notification filed by Michael Wolf

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to file a complaint per the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and to request that copyrighted works be removed from your site.

1. The copyrighted work contains multiple copyright photographs, including all images except the bottom most image. The page also contains multiple quotes from copyrighted works.

2. The copyrighted works appear at the following URL: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Rex_Beowulf

3. My contact information is rexwolf@nethere.com

4. I believe in good faith that the aforementioned and described work is used at the aforementioned location without the permission of the copyright owner or agent, and in violation of copyright and DMCA laws.

5. I certify under penalty of perjury that the information contained in this notice is correct, and that I am the owner of the copyright or the authorized representative of the copyright owner.

In addition, this page is nothing but libel. I would, therefore, request that this page be removed. Further, this entire website, in its mission statement, indicates that it is dedicated to libel of people. A cursory examination of the site indicates this to be true. Your accepted use policies, quoted below, seems to indicate that this website is in violation of those terms.

I appreciate your assistance in this matter. This website demonstrates a symptom I'm afraid. "Furries" as they refer to themselves, seem to think they can skirt the law via the internet. The website here only demonstrates a larger trend of flaunting the law and abusing people using libel, slander, harassment and other tactics. The problem is, there are so many naive youngsters in the "furry fandom" that are unaware of their rights and duties as citizens to protect themselves from these illegal activities. Encyclopedia Dramatica, I'm afraid, is not the only website promoting illegal activities.

I do appreciate your attention in this matter. I apologize that these people see fit to conduct these activities with a total lack of respect for your rules. Perhaps the loss of your services will help these people recognize that they are in violation of the law and they might change their ways. Given past experience however; I expect that instead, they will continue to harass and libel me for speaking out where few others have. Oh well...someone has to stand up for what's right.

I look forward to hearing the resolution of this matter.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Michael Wolf

[edit] DMCA Replies

Open letter to Mr. Wolf.

While I was not the original author of this article, I did support it, and follow it closely.

The whole purpose of this article was intended to show the world all of the slander, libel, and DIRECT THREATS OF PHYSICAL HARM, that YOU made to many people, myself included. Do, consider your words above, Mr Wolf. You despise hypocrisy so deeply, yet you use the very words above, to describe YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR towards everyone who ever disagrees with you. Your Actions have been archived, and will be shown here to the whole world in due time (perhaps without pictures or other "media" that might be covered under the DMCA.) Don't forget that you were spared the pain of being prosecuted for identity theft after posted a "bounty" on your ex-lover. An act wherein you subsequently gave out his social security number, home address, work address, and employer info to a COMPLETE STRANGER who responded via E-mail to your "bounty" You have crossed the legal line so many times, and in so many heinous ways that a few complaints about DMCA violations should be the least of your concerns.

I sincerely hope someone has all of those great screen captures, and reposts them to this

article, and links them to every word in your above writing so that we can all know how one-sidedly you view the law.

The law can only protect you if you use it as a shield. It will not protect you if you keep wielding it as a weapon.

I've already filed a counter-DMCA notice, as perhaps the pictures may have fallen under his copyright (despite the fact that Siege took them, not Rex, thus they're not his copyright to enforce), but the text was clearly protected under parody and editorial laws. Infocides 23:34, 8 April 2008 (CDT)

Rex has no copyright to the material posted here. He filed a false DMCA Notice to get a good article taken down, because he didn't like it. Please restore the lulz! Don't let someone who has the ability to send an single email, remove a legitimate article. It should be noted that this individual has a history of sending face legal threats and has not consulted legal counsel for this DMCA claim. It's a single person mailing a legal claim prey on an American fear of litigation. Please restore the article, so that assholes like hi don't win! Infocides 02:37, 9 April 2008 (CDT)
