Kevin Mann v. Encyclopedia Dramatica LLC, et al

[Null]

Kevin Mann, an exceedingly bald person, has sued Encyclopedia Dramatica LLC, some dude named Jacob Stellmach (I don't know if he's ED's current maintainer or what), and 5 different John Does for:

1. Defamation per se,
2. Intentional interference with prospective economic advantage,
3. False light,
4. Unreasonable publicity given to private facts,

Hoping to attain:

1. General damages of $15,000,
2. "Incidental and consequential" damages to be determined by trial,
3. Punitive damages,
4. The page being taken down,
5. Injunctive relief (restraining orders, I think),
6. Fees,
7. Anything else the Judge wants to give him.

Imagine being an angry manlet and attracting attention to how bald you are this way.

 

[Lemmingwise]

I have no knowledge of law, but at its face this is like suing the Onion as if their articles were meant literally.

It won't be hard for encyclopedia dramatica to defend the idea that it's all satire and nonsense. If that's how the law works, anyways.

And the fact that his comments about not liking jews are probably a direct quote, means that it's not going to play well in an american court.

I mean the article itself is utter fucking gibberish. Genuinely one of the worst I've seen on ED, which is monumental. The quotes about tasty sprinkles within the fucking lawsuit are hilariously stupid.

 

[Not Really Here]

You have successfully converted me, all I could think reading the ED article was 'where are all the archives and screenshots of the lolz?'

 

[guffrey__]

lol not like there's anyone to prosecute. Their website can't stay open for more than a week at a time.

 

[Tito from Rocket Power]

This is what you get for shitposting with your name attached. Retard.

You'd think that after being taken down for the upteenth billionth time they would learn one of the basic internet rules of "ARCHIVE EVERYTHING", but nope... according to this, their plan is "oh, find those missing pics, reupload them to the site, clean up the articles, and hope that THIS time nothing will get lost". The most they ever talk about are "backups" which could mean anything.

All I got out of reading his lawsuit is that he is bald and has an insatiable lust for giant ebony dicks. I look forward to the DMCA.

Basically a court slapfight between retards

Is ED even worth going after anymore. Almost all of the articles are missing any real information. It's really just a wiki full of unproven shit talk at this point.

Wasn't that always the point of ED?

And what is interesting is old as fuck

At least back then they had screenshots to back it up.

 

[TheClappening]

Take down the page and injunctions.

Smells like a lolsuit.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Kevin Mann is bald and not even a gay person would have sex with him.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Why are there so many shyster lawyers around willing to bring obviously bullshit cases like this to court?
And why aren't they punished for it?
They're the reason our legal system is so fucking congested.

 

[Mediocre]

Finasteride was invented by big peepee non-balding people to dab on the baldlets who are shedding.
