Posted by samzenpus on from the nip-it-in-the-bud dept.

ESRB writes "The US Copyright Group has sued Graham Syfert, an attorney who created a packet of self-representation paperwork for individuals sued for P2P sharing of certain movies and moved to have sanctions placed against the defense attorney. Syfert sells these packets for $20, and the USCG claims the 19 individuals who have used it have cost them over $5000."

    Being a spelling & grammar Nazi is a sign you do not *poses* the intelligence to contribute to the conversation

    Ah, insult people who call you on your laziness and slipshoddiness. If you can't be bothered to proofread what you write, why should I bother reading it? Whether you accept the fact or not, a spellchecker is not a sufficient replacement for your brain.

    People who complain about spelling nazis are just too damned lazy to care what others get from their message. Why bother writing it in the first place if you don't care what your readership gets from your words?
