A few days ago, I posted a screenshot to Facebook.
Meryl Dorey reported this to Facebook as a copyright violation. It's not the first. She's been abusing the Facebook system for several weeks now, but this is the first time she's reported one of mine.
That she reported it at all is odd, considering the picture is not owned by the AVN, and neither is over half the text,which was pasted wholesale from an online journal syndicating "Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology". It also doesn't actually say what she thinks it says, discussing as it does the outcomes of low-level, non-obvious trauma, not vaccination.
All up, less than one third of this is Meryl's own work, and it is actually moderately libellous - though it does not identify a particular person by name. Because Meryl is a coward.
I, however, am happy enough to identify Meryl Dorey of Bangalow as the fraudulent reporter of this "copyright violation", which was in fact covered under fair dealing provisions of Australian copyright law. Here, in fact, is how I posted it
The law requires attribution, so I of course screenshotted it with the AVN logo and "Australian Vaccination Network" byline intact. Attribution covered. It's clearly from the AVN.
But Meryl still reported it, because she's a worthless facebook copyright troll. On top of everything else.
I've been trying to invite Meryl to take me to court. Here's another invitation. Meryl, if you think I've violated your copyright, take me to court. Go on. Your lawyer may contact me through this site. Do it now. Every moment you delay in taking me to court further cements your reputation as a copyright fraud.
For Facebook's part, they have not even had the decency to respond to my counterclaim. I have provided chapter and verse of Australian and US copyright law, and invited them to inform Dorey of my intention to defend myself in court. Not a peep. So Facebook's system is woefully broken and Dorey is cynically exploiting it in a fraudulent manner and failing to back up her claims with substantive action.
Meryl Dorey: Take me to court or shut the fuck up.
Oh, and I'll see you at your ADT/OLGR appeal. I'll very much enjoy your scowl as yet another government acronym smacks you down.
