Ya Hear That? Merkey Izza Gunnin' Fer Us!

This site tracks the Federal Lawsuits filed in US District Court, District of Utah against Pamela Jones, Groklaw, Finchhaven, Pagan Savage, Merket.net, Slashdot, Bruce Perens, IP-Wars.net and John Does 1 - 200.

...

The lawsuit seeks 100 million dollars in damages for civil rights violations, defamation, and two dozen other torts from each defendent.

...

I wonder if he had his pinky in the corner of his mouth when he wrote that? And to think the RDGs said IPW wasn't worthy of notice! ;-).

John Does 1-200!?! I suppose Mitmosnar isn't the only one with a robot looking for mentions of his name. I guess he means to get a pound of flesh for everyone who's made a peyote crack.

Of course, he will be acting as his own attorney.
