It appears that "Chris Gold" of this "Mentors.Company" site is using DMCA to try and scare sites to removing links to this sex abuse allegation.

He asks I either remove it from the posts its in, or replace it with a Medium article where his client defends himself against allegations.

Dear Web owner,

My name is Chris Gold and I am the CEO of Mentors.Company, a company specializing in the stolen online content, fraud and slander cases.

A website that your company hosts (according to WHOIS information) is infringing on at rights of my client Padma Aon Prakasha.

Perhaps the article was linked to your website without permission. The original article to which is in violation of numerous civil rights and slander, can be found at:


The original article was issued medium.com but was taken down and the author was then ejected from the medium.com platform for unethical and illegal actions. The author then created her own website and is now under legal investigation in 2 different countries for at least 2, if not more, legal cases against her.

This letter is official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), and I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing link from your website.

I request that you immediately remove the infringing material and cease any further posting of infringing material to your server in the future.

The link in question is: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/jonat...y-knows-it-jy-british-columbia.49790/page-147



Please also be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice.

There is are currently legal investigations being carried out in this case and we do not wish to involve you in legal proceedings.

Under International law a service provider, such as yourself, enjoys immunity from a copyright lawsuit provided that you act with deliberate speed to investigate and rectify ongoing defamatory infringement.

If service providers do not investigate and remove or disable the infringing material, in this case, the removal of above stated link, this immunity is lost.

Therefore, in order for you to remain immune from an infringement action you will need to investigate and ultimately remove or otherwise disable the infringing material from your servers with all due speed.

I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that the rights my client owns are being infringed.

Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved.

Should you wish to alter your link, rather than remove it, you may link to the following article: http://bit.ly/truefactsMedium



Please refer to this link in case you need more assistance for link removal:


Should you wish to discuss this with me please contact me directly via email.

Thank you.

Chris Gold

Hello.

1. Links to articles are not copyright infringement. See Perfect 10,
Inc. v. Google, Inc., 508 F.3d 1146 (2007).

2. You've misidentified where this link is. It is on page 146. A
permanent link to this post is as follows.
<https://kiwifarms.net/posts/4318764>

3. You are submitting a DMCA on behalf of your client Padma Aon
Prakasha. The article in question was written by Be Schofield. The blog
itself appears to be owned by Be Schofield. Therefore, you are
submitting a DMCA complaint regarding intellectual property you do not
represent to achieve a chilling effect. This is likely an offense under
17 U.S.C. § 506(c).

Send servicing to the following address:

913 Beal Pkwy NW
Suite A-1017
Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547

Regards,
Joshua Moon

What I deeply and truly love about this complaint is that they are solely working the copyright angle and doesn't even put in the token effort on defamation.

"Obviously my client is a serial sex offender, nothing to dispute there. But you really should not link to copyrighted materials"

I think that's actually what he's kinda aiming for. In most of the letter, he focuses on claiming the article is defamatory and that his rights are being violated. He only mentions copyright twice, when he expands the DMCA acronym and in the copy-and-paste "under penalty of perjury ..." snippet. I think he's just a moron who thinks the "copyright" part of DMCA doesn't matter all that much and/or "copyright" is a blurry concept in his head.

Unfortunately, he probably doesn't need to know all that much about copyright/DMCA to do his job because most websites just roll over.
