Yeah... that makes a lot of sense to pursue that type of thing against an attorney selling a form for a motion to quash, and form for order to protect identity, self-described as:

The forms were designed for self-help defendants (pro se) to file on their own behalf in lawsuits where their internet service provider contacted them, notifying them of a subpoena seeking their identity in copyright litigation. (e.g. Far Cry, Hurt Locker).

As if such an attorney doesn't already have forms for motion to dismiss for lack of action he could file in his sleep

Reading the description of the forms offered for sale here

He does some CYA, it states, No warranty is made as to the content of these documents. Graham W. Syfert is not acting as your attorney. ; Pursuant to rules of ethics, no assistance can be given in filling out these forms, unless a separate contract with the signature of an attorney and the client exists.

WARNING - LEGAL FORMS ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE OF COUNSEL

Purchase of these forms is not intended to create an attorney client relationship, and by using these forms, no attorney-client relationship will be formed. Instead, you are representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through these forms.

surprised nobody has posted a link yet. Here it is

Wouldn't it be nice if this got reposted several million times on the web.

I think it's here.

Perhaps we can speed the Streisand effect along a bit: http://store.payloadz.com/details/842325-Other-Files-Documents-and-Forms-Pro-Se-Basic-Motion-to-Quash-Package-On-Sale-Discount-.html

I'd pretty much consider the $20 a donation to a worthy legal cause and the legal documents as just icing on the cake.

From TFA, you can still buy his defense package from here

Are you being sued for file sharing? Can't afford a lawyer to defend you?

Represent yourself and save.

Not that I think file sharing copyrighted content is right but I'm willing to bet many of those being sued really are innocent but this day and age they're guilty until they prove otherwise.

I blogged this recently:

1. The simplest (but most insecure) way to sell a track online is to simply edit the PayPal "Thank You" page on the site to include a link to the track. Basically what will happen is when someone buys something from your website, they click the "add to cart" button which takes them to the PayPal shopping cart where they fill in their billing information and buy. Once the transaction is complete, PayPal sends the customer back to a "thank you" page on their server. So, by changing that page to include a link to the track they can download it. (Now, I'm not sure how this would work if they bought a tee shirt or something else. - maybe they'd just get the mp3 for free in that case?) Anyway, the issue with this is that they can copy the link to that thank you page and give it to their friends who can then go to that page and download it all they want. (Probably not a huge deal at this level, but they may lose sales.)
   
   
2. So, there seems to be other people out there who want to do the same thing and there are several services that help out by simplifying and securing this process by providing an easy way to restrict the downloading of the track to only those who purchased it through PayPal. (The two listed below simply work with your existing PayPal account.) It looks like it would be pretty cheap to use either of these setups. (Actually they both offer either 1 week or 1 month free which might be enough time in my friend's case!)
   
   These two services allow you to upload the digital files you wish to sell to their server and enter you PayPal account information. They'll then accept the "Buy" button links from your website and pass them off to PayPal's standard interface for payment. PayPal then returns to their site for the "Thank You" page and a secure, limited time download URL is provided to the purchaser.

We've been using a service that has supported this funstionality for some time. They've already processed several thousand auctions for digital goods. They just want us to include a copyright statement in our auction listing to not conflict with the eBay downloadable media policy.

It is pretty interesting to look at how a place like eBay, usually for one-off items, can work for goods with unlimited availability lke digital goods. I hope it works out.

That's because you use the ignroamous definition of "hacking":

They never performed any exploits though, like actually trying to access the web server in russia to see what information they actually had...

instead of the nomral meaning, dissasemble and understand. The people who figured out what was going on with their spam did a better job of understanding a scam than the people being scammed. It was damn good hacking

Now run along and play with that scam site of your own and the Windoze crap that runs it. You, Bill Gates and Peter Tippett can fold that deffinition of yours till it's all sharp corners and stick it up each others declining sales.

This makes me happy as we run a startup service trying to compete with them. PayLoadz. Now we just have to get rid of those damn Amazon buggers before they patent it!
