Anyone able to find out anything more about this tit ... assuming it's not THE great Dave Sim of Cerebus fame.

those guys are playing with luck ... once they step on shap or some other guy who has no problem to make a lawsuit and he will be fucking off himself :)

their site is slow as fuck

It hurts but sometimes it's better to ask nicely first. Leave the threats for a later followup if they don't act.

Looks like the domain in the OP is outside the USA anyway...

So tell Paypal and see how for it gets you.

do you really can make paypal look at that, if not false warning is not good stuff

I've always said this. Sadly, so few listen.

Not many people respond well to threats on a first contact.

I've had 3-4 Paypal accounts closed this week on stolen content sites (blogs in this case).
I've dealt with them numerous times.

Maybe you went about it the wrong way?

Any DMCA is a threat. While I agree that it usually is better to just send the DMCA, if you do see some other leverage to let them know that you are serious, it can count. Every other company I sent similar emails to responded by removing the content faster, than just with a DMCA.

Oh ... he's going to sue me ...

"Go Fuck Your Self with your porn images ;)
and fuck your paypal and DMCA !

I care about no one, if you are living in the US, then let me know which state, i will come there and sue your ass !"

There's implied threats and there's open threats. Big difference.

Tell him you're sending the dmca to his webhost and see what kind of response he sends you. http://www.whoishostingthis.com/lookpic.com

In case you are wondering whether I'm over-reacting over 2 little pics, it's because they were used on a BIG stolen content site as a preview to our content on hotfile.com - I've found the best deterrent to posters is to DMCA everything, giving them extra work to re-up it.

Probably an even more gobby one i expect.

I don't think anyone here is saying you're overreacting.

All I'm saying is a little finesse in your first contact to the guy may have gotten you a lot farther than openly threatening him about his paypal account. That's all. Now it looks like he's gone full retard on you. Someone should have told him never go full retard. :D

Personally if I were you I'd forget trying to reason with the idiot and just have a go at his upstream providers. I'd recommend not openly threatening them on the first shot either.

owns speed.cd too

Burn them alive anywhere you can.

Which is a private torrent site hosted in Moscow.

You are being too kind
By this time I'd be going after his paypal accounts, upstream hosts and whatever else i can get my hands on
Don't have to be nice to him

I agree. Throw your gloves off and get this guy.

report them to paypal and fuck em

The guy's a punk thief. Fuck em and feed em beans. That fuck knows the content is stolen, why bother to sweet talk him. Go after him with everything you got.

You need to DMCA his host, and his entire upstream, even the registrar, I promise they will make him take your shit down. Then go after his paypal account, get an attorney to mail out copies on his letterhead to his home and his ISP... you get the picture ;)

I've always thought taking out an ad in their local newspapers of your intentions to take action against them would be a good idea (esp. with a photo!).
In the olden days, we used to catch newsgroup posters and often able to find our who they were - a quick phone call to their home (and a chat with their Mom's while they were at school) usually done the trick.
