1. WordPress to fight legally
with Prenda subpoena.

2. Porn-trolling close Prenda Law afresh fabricated

3. Prenda's advocate Paul Duffy wrote to Automatic
in a letter accompanying the subpoena, "Due to
the emergency attributes of the requested
information, it is acute that your alignment
responds to the amendment immediately.
But Automatic's General Counsel, Paul
Sieminski, responded on Friday afternoon with a
letter aghast to the subpoena. Shortly thereafter,

4. Sieminski's e-mail to Duffy (reproduced by Action
Copyright Trolls) noted,Your amendment is accurately
amiss and abhorrent for abundant reasons, abundant
below, and Automatic will not aftermath any abstracts in
acknowledgment to this subpoena.Sieminski goes on to
account 5 procedural violations, from declining to attach
a accurate and actual archetype of the Illinois subpoena,
to ambitious the after-effects of the amendment be
accustomed over afore the minimum of 20 canicule for

5. The letter:
In addition to the numerous legal deficiencies that render the
subpoena invalid, it is also objectionable on numerous fronts.
• First, it seeks information protected by the First Amendment,
including rights under the First Amendment to anonymous speech.
• Second, it violates the right to privacy under the California
Constitution and common law, in that it seeks information relating
to the websites that consumers visited.
• Third, it is facially (and outrageously) overly broad, in that it is not
limited to information related to any alleged defamatory posts, but
instead seeks the identity of any person who ever read the blogs in
question.
• Finally, it seeks information that is not likely to lead to discoverable
information, for the reasons enumerated above.

6. Yesterday, afore Automattic arise its position, and afore
the EFF stepped in to help, commenters on DieTrollDie
responded to the blackmail of accepting their IP
addresses apparent by Prenda. Several took a
confrontational stance, alms up their abounding names
and addresses in the comments or arduous Prenda to
sue them for defamation To whom it may concern: I,
John Whitaker, acquiescently accept that I accept
frequently accessed both the DieTrollDie and
FightCopyrightTroll websites back January 1, 2011 and
may even accept acquaint comments. Any
communications advised for me can be addressed as

7. Others adopted to accomplish the amendment
attending added cool by artlessly abacus their IP
addresses to the account of those Prenda is
seeking: Commenter "sorrykb" wrote Is it too
backward to get my IP abode in here? I m
activity larboard out, and "Bill Price" wrote
Nothing to say. I just capital to get my IP addy
on almanac as a commenter rather than just a

8. For now, the amendment looks like it may be
traveling nowhere. The assembly of Prenda Law
are due in cloister for a audition on Monday,
March 11, but endure night a address alike that
had been filed by three chief attorneys of the
firm, allurement the adjudicator for permission to
skip the audition because of the backward timing
of the adjustment that they arise in court.
