Warning!: THIS USER IS AN INTERNATIONAL INTERNETS LAWYER

It has recently been brought to my attention that an article has been created on your website regarding the art website known as Artgrounds (http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Artgrounds). While a typical article is completely acceptable, this one steps out of line on many points and violates the laws of multiple countries.

The article's creator and author, Needlenose, has not only released information regarding the personal information of a minor without the permission of a parent -- a federal offense in the United States Government, but has also disclosed the information of several American citizens to the internet without their consent -- another federal offense in the United States Government as well as a breach in National Security.

Aside from breaking these laws, he/she has also, at many points, completely crossed the boundaries of a parody and jumped straight into complete and total harassment and insult. His/her insults are not based on any supporting material, and serve no other purpose than to offend.

A parody is, by definition, created for comic effect. This article is not humorous, nor is it amusing. It is simply offensive.

Additionally, the artwork which he/she is directly copying and pasting from the artist's galleries violates the artist's copyrights, and is likewise highly illegal. Since this material is not used for a parody but rather to insult, it is not covered by the Encyclopedia Dramatica's policy, nor is it protected by the law.

This situation cannot be solved with Needlenose because he/she offers absolutely no contact information, and has had no prior contact with any of the members of Artgrounds. His/her insults exist solely to upset and offend, and his/her materials were gathered using a proxy server, hacking into canvas boards which are reserved for active members and taking images without the artist's consent. This can also be considered an invasion of privacy.

It is for these reasons that I ask the admins of this site to please remove the Artgrounds article and ban the user Needlenose. What he/she has done is a violation of the United States Government's policy of National Security, and if left unchecked the entire website of Encyclopedia Dramatica will most likely be shut down.
