I take your point (although not all plaintiff’s lawyers work on contingency), but my point is that *terrible* plaintiff’s lawyers like Mr. Carreon never see their 33% at the end of the rainbow–because they never win.

In California, I think the law is that ALL plaintiffs’ lawyers work on contingency, for “free,” until the settlement of the case. I don’t know if this is true for the rest of the states, however.

Well, he’s lying you know. About which part we don’t know, but that’s part of how lies work.

The key word is “relentless,” which makes the comparison inapt. Jack Thompson was more like the pro-SOPA/PIPA forces who continually come back for bites at the apple. This is just one lamer kerfuffle so far.

I hope Carreon’s planning to write a book, because nobody in their right mind would hire him after this.

@SamSam Agreed, at most you could call it an accidental DDOS – not a DDOS attack, but a sort of nonmalicious DDOS because your site suddenly became more interesting than you had anticipated.

That’s fine, but slash-dotting a site accidentally is not a DDOS attack or a security attack. It’s not an attack at all.

If their servers cannot handle a spike in traffic they caused, that’s their problem. And it doesn’t matter if the spike in traffic was people looking to see what funny cat photo they posted or to send them an angry email. It’s still not an attack if nobody planned a DDOS attack.

If my $5-a-month server can’t handle 10 people coming to my site, and 11 people come to send me an email, that’s not a DDOS. If you set up a LOIC to target my site, that’s a DDOS.

The three security properties are confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A denial of service (distributed or not) is an attack on availability. You may not agree with the classification, but it’s what IT security professionals use pretty much universally.

He is trying to make peace with the internet… via his twitter feed…

Peace Offering to the Net! Download free copies of The http://Sex.Com Chronicles http://charlescarreon.com or http://sex.comchronicles.com

Because giving away free a book, that very few people care about, about the case that made your career is totally going to make up for you making yourself look like a giant ass….

”You then provide a screen-capture of the referenced source code, which displays a picture of a pterodactyl rendered from standard alpha-numeric characters, along with a quote.”

If I were a lawyer, it would make my week to have the opportunity to write a sentence such as that.

But but but his claim to fame was being involved in the whole sex.com lawsuit circus, he is all sorts of awesome cyberlawer!

Christ what an asshole, the depths lawyers will sink to to keep their Wikipedia page (that they wrote) from being deleted.

I thought the most interesting thing in there is that there are things you need to do to have protection from Copyright claims as a user generated content site and FunnyJunk doesn’t appear to have done any of them. Search for ‘red flag’.

He certainly made it clear at the end that Mr. Carrion’s client was in line for an apocalyptic beatdown if this continued. Not only would Oatmeal go after them for DMCA violations, but would bring in other 3rd parties whose material is also being monetized there.

What I would have liked to see is a mention that Rule 11 sanctions cover attorney misconduct like frivolous shakedowns.

if I remember right, Jack Thompson got disbarred for his amazingly relentless actions.

Wouldn’t be a terrible thing to happen here, sometimes psychotic and clueless people shouldn’t be allowed to take money from people and call it helping when all they’re doing is dragging their own reputation as well as their client through the very deep mud of the internet.

Via Penny Arcade was an amazing way to watch that story unfold. I wanted to run out and get a refill on my popcorn but I wasn’t leaving my seat for a minute. I wonder where that guy is now…

Bra-vo, Mr. Balasubramani. Excellent rebuttal, at the legal, moral, and literary levels… “…At the end of the day, a lawsuit against The Oatmeal in this situation is just a really bad idea.”

Excellent choice of Mr. Oatmeal (Inman) in having hired him as well.
