Patrick S. Tomlinson, failed sci-fi author, sued 60 anonymous posters on the Internet. He lost, and was ordered to pay costs. Part of costs paid included rights to a headshot photo, which he prefers to use as an avatar. The new owner DMCAs him every time he tries to use it lol
This is the picture, by the way.
You might think "that's not special, why not just take another one?"
It is because Patrick S. Tomlinson took this photo 10 years ago and now he is fat and old. He cannot recreate it.
I'm balls deep in your kiwi thread right now. Seeing as it was a 250 page whopper I didn't expect to make it past the first few pages but that initial post just grabbed hold of me and did not let go. Amazing stuff. Thank you Patrick.
