Summary: Techrights will be publishing threatening letters from trolls this coming weekend; it's well overdue

LAST summer a copyright troll targeted Techrights [1, 2] and for full disclosure purposes we planned to disclose the letters some time around Christmas. Transparency is important if not paramount. Just before Christmas, however, that troll escalated a little by sending physical letters to our home, so we decided to delay this until Easter when it's quieter and there's ample time to redact and preapre.

"...regardless of whether there's something more sinister or complicated going on behind the scenes, expect more to be published around Easter Sunday."The "case" itself is without merit, very obviously frivolous harassment, which we suspect may have comes from the EPO or is linked to Team UPC, which also issued some copyright threats only months ago [1, 2]. Either way, regardless of whether there's something more sinister or complicated going on behind the scenes, expect more to be published around Easter Sunday.

Techrights still attracts such self-defeating threats. Shedding light on them helps deter/discourage further attempts. That these threats are made in the first place can be rather revealing at times. That means Techrights makes an impact. Last year we covered another example of this. ⬆
