Copyright Reform Activist

On Day 143 inside Fort Devens, I was racing to finish a white paper integrating Section 108 of the Copyright Code into my defense. My goal was to force my attorney to use it in the direct appeal to prove a vital point: despite what the trial judge muttered under his breath, the concept of "Orphan Works" is implicitly codified and recognized by U.S. law. https://bit.ly/4xHvI9o

Why the endless FOIAs? Because a criminal copyright case shouldn't be used as a pretextual fishing expedition for other investigations. That is copyright abuse and a fraud on the court. Five years of stonewalling has only proven the silo of silence is real—and I won't stop until it comes down. https://bit.ly/4uPcwVh

Day 135: Proving the Negative—Drafting the Willfulness Memorandum behind Bars. If you are operating openly, responding to takedowns, and navigating the unsettled legal reality of Orphan Works, how does the state manufacture "willfulness"? They do it by ignoring the DOJ’s own Justice Manual.

The Cup N**i didn’t like our pre-prepped cups. He dictated only four ahead, even if it meant the entire cafeteria line backed up. Bureaucracy over efficiency—a perfect metaphor for the "Copyright Regime" we fight today. My response? The same response I had in FMC Devens: "Cereal. Stay focused on the cereal." It’s an ongoing Zen statement that reminds me why I sacrificed everything to fight the systematic destruction of creative intent.
