More Than Half a Dozen Copyright Litigation Threats Sent to Techrights in Less Than Six Months Over EPO and UPC Articles (Misusing Copyrights for Censorship/Intimidation)

Summary: Freedom of speech is under threat; the few who still cover EPO corruption are routinely subjected to threatening letters, misusing "copyright" in spite of Fair Use provisions; Europe's patent system is now dominated by a bunch of gangsters like the ones who roam Malta

THE state of the EPO is as dire as it was under Benoît Battistelli if not a lot worse (the problem is that the media no longer talks about it!) and we're being attacked for covering EPO scandals. We've been subjected to copyright trolling last year [1, 2] and the start of this year (belatedly).



"Please do not donate to the EFF; it's money down the drain as the EFF is run by (and for) the billionaires who pay a lot more."Regarding the latest example (only happened about 12 hours ago), I've since then spoken to three people. I told them about this latest example and they've ridiculed the censorship attempts. I also contacted 3-4 people in the EFF and so far they have of course had nothing to say, let alone do. Even since one co-founder died and another was ousted the EFF has barely done anything about patents and SLAPPed/bullied bloggers. Please do not donate to the EFF; it's money down the drain as the EFF is run by (and for) the billionaires who pay a lot more. The EFF never helped me; the best it did was, it responded to an E-mail (about 4 years ago). The EFF was infiltrated a few years ago. It's not coming back.
