Nate's lawsuit
I think nate posted it but forgot to mention it so i'm doing that. http://www.acdc-bootlegs.com/downloads/ As he ask of us not to badmouth Righthaven LLC i can only say that i will wait for the outcome but if you push Nate to trial i will try to review everything on the vegas show on a greek site and you just can kiss my a$$.Thank you.
Thankfully Nate said not to badmouth them because I have a few choice words for them right now. Total bullshit case but thats what happens when the american judicial system is so corrupt to where can sue someone for sneezing on you.
Gotta say,that is a pretty low blow. What harm did the News Section cause for them? NONE
It sounds like Nate's being sued in a manner similar to those who sue fans for listening to music over the web... I'm not going to trash anybody, but it's clear something is not quite right here... We're behind you all the way, Nate.
Nate - We are all your friends on this site. I'm sure most people on here would agree that if there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. We support you 100 percent. Please PM me if there is any thing you need. Take care my friend.
I wish you the best of luck, Nate, and I'm sure others wish the same. Take care, buddy ;)
Looks like I screwed up the downloads section... Please view the details at acdc-bootlegs.com/lawsuit/ Thanks for your support. I will hopefully have an update in the next newsletter. We'll see how the next week and a half goes. Until then, please refrain from any derogatory comments toward the companies involved. I am not out to talk poorly about anyone involved, but am hoping to resolve this dispute quickly and fairly. We'll see what happens.
I don't understand very well what happen cause my english is very limited I know that Nate has a legal case and if I can do something no matter how small to help from my position have no doubt ask me, be strong. I'll wait for the next newsletter
I hope it doesn´t hit you that much what I have readed on that Las Vegas news site. 70000$ is really some big money.
Wow, I guess this is what it takes to unite the members of this site, lol.
nate, were all with you. this is a great site, and we all seem to have put our diferences and ideas aside, hope it all works out. were all rootin' for you. i find that if you listen to te song; "DAMNED" from the stiff upper lip album (it would fire me up). nate, RIDE ON.
Good luck Nate... Damn would have wrote a review of the Vegas show for free... If you need anything DO NOT be afraid to ask.
Thats pretty lame. Surely they noticed that Nate always adds where the review came from. It would be a different story if Nate tried to say he wrote the review. That would be copyright infringement. Its not stealing(In My Honest Opinion!!), if you are letting people who wouldnt normally see a review to read it as long as you credit the original source. Just like giving credit to the original uploader of a show if you copy their link. It could persuade me for instance, to go to their website and read their paper everyday, all thanks to the bigman posting one of their reviews. Bit of free advertising goes a long way sometimes. How many people are registered to this site? Quite a few!!!!! All in my opinion you understand. All the best Nate. We'll be watchin out!!!
I personally find this lawsuit ridiculous, but were all behind you Nate. Good Luck!!!!
Now, I'm no fancy city lawyer, (said whilst holding my lapels), but I'm willing to bet that this lawsuit isn't anything more than a money making scheme, and hopefully a judge will know a thing or two about copyright law, and throw out the case. Their copyright would indeed have been infringed if Nate simply copy/pasted the article and not given a reference link, however, given that he DID and always does post a link back, then their lawsuit is null. And even then, copyright with regards to news articles falls under fair use, if no profit is made. Which given the requests for ad clicks...I'm thinking Nate isn't making any profits. End of fancy lawyerin'.
This is really bullshit but in the US anything could turn into a legal mess. The only country where lawyers make millions! Anyway, all I can do is to wish Nate a successful outcome to this nonsense. All the best of luck mate!
This is ridiculous man, I'm behind you Nate, you have my support and I hope all goes alright. Best of luck, mate.
Hope everytihng works out. Nate, you have THE best AC/DC site on the web, and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we got your back.
Quick update: I'm supposed to find out what they want today. They have indicated they are not willing to dismiss the lawsuit, so we'll see what happens. I will post what I can when I find out. I hate to ask this, but I may be asking for donations again as I really don't have any income associated with this site. Just a warning. I'll try and take care of it myself if I can.
nate,you know that i'll help you out with a little somethin'- somethin' as we talked about privately. just hope the rest of you guys that posted are true to your words & that the rest of the riff raff will follow.
Yes, and I'd like to offer my support to you, too, Nate, with regards to this outrageous and ridiculous situation. Please let me know if I can help in any way at all.
just biding my time til needed Gary,will do what i can bud, B well people dave
Happy to donate more money next pay day Nate. :)
Well i'm broke i ow the phone company 200Euros and soon i won't have internet but when i settle all this i will try to help you even if it's my last 5 euros.
Couldn't give much but donated some. Will donate again if its needed
I've just dropped a coins in your purse and hope that it will be of some help. I may not have a job and the IRS is after me for a few K, but at least I don't have a lawsuit from a corporation hanging over my head. Hang in there!
Well, Nate, I know it's not much, but I've just donated $20.00 USD, and I just hope that it helps at least a little bit. Take good care, Nate, and lets hope that they might develop some morals and some decency, to help break down their dirty, pathetic greed. We all think the world of you, and we're here to give you all our support; always.
well,here's doing my part,i may loose a bit on this deal,but it's for a damned good cause,:-) http://acdc-bootlegs.com/forum/?messageid=26707
Reached a settlement with Righthaven today. Will send out a newsletter & post more info about it (what I can, at least) tomorrow or Friday.
Great, although this company has pissed me of so bad. Anyway i'm not sure i can afford to pay for my phone so before they cut my internet out i gave also a little something of what i, don't, have :P
