Things I Originally Said Elsewhere

In a PDF of a motion filing, Google is requesting over $11,000 in attorneys fees from Gordon Roy Parker, also known as Ray Gordon, a Philadelphia alleged self-publisher of books, after his claims in a federal lawsuit (prior slashdot article here) arguing Google's indexing of web pages violated his copyright (among other claims), were determined to be totally lacking even the slightest scintilla of merit whatsoever. The points made in Google's brief may be helpful in the case of Debbie Foster who is trying to get attorneys fees for successfully defending a frivolous lawsuit by the RIAA. As Google's brief says, "A party is improperly motivated if he does not have a good faith intent to protect a valid copyright interest... or if his intent was to 'vex and
harass the defendant.'" Google's argument here seems to fit very closely with the improper suits RIAA has filed or threatened to file unless paid off, against people who were totally innocent, and give further reasons to argue for award of attorneys fees to the defendant when they successfully defend a bogus copyright infringement charge.

Gordon Roy Parker is someone I happen to know personally, I've dealt with him and his ridiculous commentary on the Usenet Newsgroup alt.seduction.fast, a group devoted to the posting of ideas having to do with the seduction of women and ways of encouraging them to go to bed with guys. Most of his comments either have nothing to do with trying to have sex, and his ideas mostly are the type that are so worthless that it it practically guaranteed that if a guy followed them he couldn't get laid if he had a wallet full of hundred dollar bills in a whorehouse.
