JAHS Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 MormonLeaks attorney responds to LDS Church ‘take down notice’ I especially like this part: "At this point, my client is willing to let bygones be bygones. If your client is willing to step back from the brink, and to cease efforts to censor this material, my client is willing to refrain from bringing a claim under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Even better, my client is willing to be the instrument of the LDS Church claiming more moral high ground by doing away with the secrecy and embracing transparency." Isn't that nice of them to offer to do that? Link to comment
Stargazer Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yes, it warms the heart. If the letter had been kept out of view, as a private, privileged matter between plaintiff and respondent, it might conceivably have had the effect it suggests. However, by publicizing the response in detail, along with what amounts to a challenge, "bring it on!", and a threat, it might actually firm up the intention to sue. Which of course what might be intended! I have no doubt that MormonLeaks seeks to do the Church as much damage as it can. Link to comment
The Nehor Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Read the whole letter. What patronizing garbage. Did this guy's lawyer really think this letter was a good idea? 2 Link to comment

The lawyer is apparently well known for such things and much worse. I wonder if he was sought out ( if so, they are definitely going for publicity) or if he volunteered. As far as the lawyer's purposes, I suspect he thinks it is brilliant. More free advertising for him. Link to comment
Gray Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 That seems more than a little childishly worded. 1 Link to comment
