This is the graphic from SCRIBD that self-identified as a library in 2008.
This is still claimed today!

Calling a judge a legal activist will certainly keep the oligarch in check. No; This post further establishes Eric Goldman Esq as an activist “professor” hoping to influence United States laws “online” by filing amicus curiae briefs and hoping to keep America’s copy[rite] routine a clearly misspelled ritual disguised as law. The Copy[rite] Regime of 1790 was used to regulate the ability of wealthy book printers to profit from book authors while paying commissions. This limited monopoly ritual was intentionally misspelled and disguised as a human right when the United States was considering the Bill of Rights. America’s copy[rite] regime ignored the human right to control reputation from harm caused by unauthorized use of fixed creations. This was recognized in England in 1734 and became the first human right to survive death by transferring to the author’s spouse in 1766 or a decade BEFORE 1776. The law mistake or FRAUD of 1790 was why “online” grew most quickly first in the United States. This disparaging, intentional, 1790 spelling FRAUD is why United States was overthrown by wealthy America from 1790 to Citizens United 2010.

The limited democratic self-rule experiment took 220 years to completely fail and become a corporate oligarchy of wealthy Americans. The American oligarchy is still disguised as a democracy. This dishonorable failure to recognize the human right to protect reputation ends very soon in either the Ninth Circuit or the Supreme Court. I talked to Cris Armenta Esq and this future is very clear.

It appears SCRIBD.com has self-identified as a LIBRARY since as early as July 15, 2008. The allegation SCRIBD.com was a library by the activist judge recently should have been anticipated before hiring oligarchs to attempt to confuse a more powerful oligarch protecting his own public reputation.

The DOJ has sent conflicting messages – it intervened in the H.R. Block case in favor of ADA compliance yet has continued punting into the future any regulations around the issue. Probably a safe position politically, which gets ADA website compliance rolled out over a longer period of time, rather than introducing a sharp departure from existing practice into the marketplace. Good post Eric.
