[...] So why am I choosing EFF as my beneficiary? They are an amazing 16 year old San Francisco based, non-profit organization that has done a bunch of great work to help defend online rights and freedom. I’ve asked attorneys at the EFF for free advice on numerous occasions, most recently Jason Schultz, helped me out with the whole Michael Crook DMCA situation. This is my way of saying thanks and to help support them in their continuing efforts. [...]

I owe you an apology. He said he was served the 16th.

If he is not served by 120 day’s then the lawsuit is null and void. Is this lawsuit even real?

I posted that photo on the Second Life photo sharing site; Crook has in fact filed a takedown notice and the photo has been removed. So yes, he has filed a pretend takedown notice against a site documenting a pretend world.

He is now saying he is a champion of DMCA rights and that is why you are suing him. ROFL!

Is the suit even going to happen? He keeps saying that he has not been served. I say you should add charges on the false address as well. And well, the word is possible Michael Crook is not even his true name.

I agree with you. I am one of hisd hated detractors. He called me the Mentaly Ill Ohio Firefighter. And that is why I run a new blog against him. This deal of him being sued is covering most of my blog. My blog is located at http://americancommunistsarestillalive.blogspot.com/

I can tell you right now that it is not his true adress. It MAY be a post office box, but in stronger probability it is just some random made up place.

As far as his name is concerned.. he has gone by Scott Vogel in the past, swearing it was his cousin…that was when he needed to make up supporters for his anti-troops campaign. You can’t imagine the tangled web of lies this meathead has weaved.

There was almost a year and a half where he swore that he didn’t write his article on his time in the army… now that he finally admits it, he is claiming he bombed out intentionally…

the list is longer than you can imagine… including him posing as lawyers trying to get his contact information off of websites, and even going so far as having his wife call the owner of a website posing as a lawyer, that however resulted in tears for the “lawyer”.

This guys stupidity knows no bounds….

The address in the DMCA leads to a UPS store with Mailbox’s. He will never get served there.

He now say’s you will lose the suit and he will sue Jeffery and EFF. I want you guys to remove the Tard from the net.

Here is the thing. Mike is known for not giving his real address. Therefore May I suggest you actually have someone look up his address. And let us know when he is served. That way he can stop saying you guys have not sent him anything.
