2. Something about copyright infringement |
|
for "blackbox voting", or "clean up crew". Im not sure of the exact details.
I saw it listed here a couple weeks ago, but I cant find the original thread now.

25. Bev is right - the Mods should get after anyone who does |
|
not comply.
Usurping a trade name could wreak havoc on her efforts.
Don't do it.

She has not trademark and the poster didn't use anything that would endanger her 501(c)3 status.

I just hate it when people who are working hard for us get personally attacked. She was RIGHT about using the name.

42. Because I don't believe in her motives |
|
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but I'll tell you several things that don't add up.
1. The whole thing about suing DU, none of her arguments made any sense. Nothing was threatening her status.
2. The lawsuit in Valousa (sp) county was Bogus. It had nothing to do with the Presidential election and wasn't breaking news.
3. The above mentioned lawsuit was intentionally filed a day late.
4. The stunt today, was nothing more than a stunt that will play well on her docudrama.
I am truly beginning to believe that Bev is simply trying to make money on the documentary she is filming.
Flame me if you will, nothing she is doing is progressing the vote fraud issue.

She is absolutely WRONG. Either she has no idea what she is talking about or she is outright pulling our legs for some reason.
I read the posts, there is nothing that infringes on her 501(c)3 or any registered trademarks. She doesn't have registered trademarks. Only the Black Box Voting name could be considered protected and something she needs to defend. The poster mentioned BBV in initials, which is not an infringement, and mentioned clean up crew, which is not a protected name.
Bev said these were actionable (lawyer speak for "we are going to sue you") and that they were protected trade names, which is just false.

This has NOTHING to do with intellectual property. She is complaining of trademark infringement. That in and of itself is wierd because a 501(c)3 is not a trademark. So please spare me your critic of what I sound like I know.

84. See that sounds good but it isn't the way law works.... |
|
If you are being prevented from meeting the "evidence bar" (which is not what she claimed) you file in a timely manner and seek a remedy. She claimed that she didn't file because they election officials didn't give her full disclosure. Her remedy was to file and ask for a motion to compel the full disclosure. I know to a non-lawyer this may not sound like much but to an attorney it is very telling. They didn't want this lawsuit to go anywhere. It was simply filed as proof they were doing something. Like it or not that is true.

I just read that whole thread.....what did she do? She asked them to stop using that name because it jeopardized her organization's tax status. Everyone understood, agreed, and started a new thread with a different name.
What's the problem? She's working hard for US, let's not slam the lady for something she didn't even DO.

58. I read the thread. She did not. |

She asked politely and explained her reasons. Nothing unreasonable.
She is organizing, almost singlehandedly, against an army of evil Republican lawyers bent on destroying her work. The tiniest technicality and her organization, and quite possibly democracy in the United States, might be sunk.
If Bev Harris asked me to stop using the word "cheese" in order to help make sure that her organization gets some added protection against the BFEE lawyers, I would only ask how to pronounce "Fromage."

From one Dem who wants to fight the BFEE to another, this thread could be potentially harmful, as in leading others to believe there IS a lawsuit. You might think about asking a mod to lock or delete it, since it has been established that there is no lawsuit and we WANT Bev to do good work!

51. You did read a thread but you didn't read it carefully |
|
In your title you refer to "the lawsuit" as if it is something that exists. It isn't and it was clarified onthat thread what was said and why it was said.
Clearly if you followed you own thread, this thread, you are aware of the details at this point. So I can only conclude that you are a scared troll playing dumb and trying to smear Bev because you know you are going to lose and quite probably your party is going to suffer unrecoverable damage. Think Watergate x 100, that's what is coming your way, troll.

I have had a very bad legal experience down this path and she was absolutely right. In fact, she's obligated defend the name and it's usually done with attorneys. She posted a notice but was supportive of the efforts. I see nothing wrong with that.

Maddy is a real mudslinger. Bev is out there representing herself as a non-partisan auditor and we had some well intentioned people take on her blackboxvoting name without her permission. She had every right to be upset.
I support the clean-up crew, but they made a mistake and it was all hashed out and all was forgiven. Maddy is just stirring up something that she hasn't been able to resolve personally.

This thread drives me crazy. People are defending Bev like she can do no wrong. None of the terms she was complaining about are a trade name or are even associated with her 501(c)3. BBV is not hers, and cleaning crew has NOTHING to do with her legally. She simply went off on a poster and basically served her with a cease and desist and threatened to bring in her attorneys.
Bev is strange. She isn't doing what she perports to be doing. You will see, her actions are all about making a for profit docudramma.

86. Please source your information |

"You will see, her actions are all about making a for profit docudramma."
To my knowledge, Bev is not producing the documentary or reaping any profits from it. The people doing it are not associated with her or the organization.
How she or the organization stands to profit from it, bears some explanation.
Maybe, ultimately, people would donate to the organization if they see it as being effective, from the film.
And if the film makers manage to make anything from their efforts, so what? They deserve it.
But don't associate them with Bev or Blackboxvoting.
They just happen to have decided to make a film about this and they are filming more than just Bev.
If you are going to make statements like this, then back them up with proof.
So far, all that Blackbox has done is try to host the video clip when their site got shut down, then Blackbox went down in the effort.
That was not to make money, but to make information available.
Or would you also object to Blackbox listing a link to the film Palast did? Would you make the same accusation of Palast? He did write a book, went on a tour, and made more money than Bev will ever see from hers.

87. I will admit I have no proof, but I'll bet she is in on the making |

32. Fescue4u - Question '4u'.... |
|
Where did you get that idea? (That she had a lawsuit pending.)
You must have a reason for saying so - who misled you?
Or is it true?
What's your source?

I don't have a "source". Im not trying to make a statement.
Folks. This is not rocket science. I read some legalistic stuff about bev harris, DU, copyright stuff.
Im not a lawyer. When I hear lawyer(ish) talk, cease and desists etc I think lawsuits. I WAS WRONG
I suppose my "source" is here. I read a thread that contained the "legal stuff". I couldnt find it again. I just wanted to learn the followup.
SORRY FOLKS. I didnt dream I would be stirring up a shitstorm.
MODS...I got my answer. Please lock this thread.

56. Lets get to the bottom of this |
|
what did you read?
Because if you read the thread we are all referring to, then you didn't read whole thing, because it was all clarified at the time of that thread and you would already know the answer to your question and not have answered it.

46. She made one knee-jerk comment and Maddy is eviscerating |
|
her for it. Bev comes back from the field exhausted to deal with this? It wouldn't encourage me to stick around here much longer either. This is another reason why I don't want to come out to help out the Dems if Maddy is the kind of person I have to work with.

71. As soon as Bev comes forward with the proof she claims to have, |
|
I will cut her more slack. As for now, her ego seems to be getting in the way of progress, and I don't trust her motives.

35. I think it was just a tired moment. Here's the thread ... |
|
where things started getting out of hand -- http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=201&topic_id=3300#3461 -- not one of her finest moments, but more on the "exhausted" side of life. Things calmed down pretty quickly.

Now the big question: Why is Maddy allowed to do this kind of thing?

45. There's a Different Post from Bev |
|
There was a later post from Bev. The subject line, I believe, was "Tortious Request," in which she did make a stronger statement. I completely see her point, so I'm not trying to say that she was out of line. I just wanted to help clarify the situation because I clearly remember Bev's post.
