08:30 schestowitz__[TR]; I expect this to fail, i.e. to go nowhere, just like the past 6 years. BUT... does not mean we should 'put down our weapons' and stop fighting.
08:30 schestowitz__[TR]; We have a lot on EPO corruption coming next month. A LOT.
08:30 schestowitz__[TR]; Be sure to FIGHT UPC LIKE HELL!! We do them a lot of damage. I've put out the story about FFPE, but more info would help.
08:30 schestowitz__[TR]; Fight on.
08:30 schestowitz__[TR]; I'm not sure if they sent trolls my way to try to kill my reporting on EPO corruption, but watch this space... http://techrights.org/2022/08/19/copyright-claim-on-article-re-epo-corruption/

08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; > I think you just ignore them. I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt that filing a suit against you in the USA will be cheaper than the maximum damages you'd be forced to pay. If you don't have an EU presence and/or bank account, they're probably out of luck.
08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; Thanks, much appreciated.
08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; I think in the grand scheme of things it is plausible that this is connected to SLAPP over EPO reporting, based on the track recording of EPO:

08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; Since you still write for EFF, can you please inquire why EFF writes so much about copyrights in the EU but never ever about the EPO?
08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; See http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/EPO (almost 5,000 articles on EPO alone)

08:36 schestowitz__[TR]; The amount of corruption at the EPO is just UNBELIEVABLE and it is closely connected to EUIPO/OHIM, i.e. the EU (I'm pro-EU, but this is just horrible). The corruption is so profound that they corrupt the media, bribe the national delegations etc. We need the EFF in this battle, we're dealing with a king of "mafia" here and thus we get lots of whistleblowers. Sadly, FSF too never mentions these issues.
