Remove Your Content v. Does [1]

Remove Your Content LLC [2], which bills itself as a "targeted adult content removal service," filed suit in federal district court in Texas against 20 unnamed defendants for defamation, business disparagement, tortious interference, assault, and trademark infringement.

Remove Your Content's claims stem from a series of anonymous blog posts (on the now-defunct websites ericgreensuck.blogspot.com and removeyourcontent.blogspot.com), forum comments [3] (NSFW), and emails directed at Remove Your Content and its owner, Eric Green. According to the Complaint [4], the complained-of communications contain both physical threats against Mr. Green ("We tried to pay a visit to you dude," Complaint Ex. 1 [5] and "Either quite (sic) bothering all these sites and blogs or will (sic) take the bet and nuke you with an early Christmas present," Complaint [4] ¶7), and false and defamatory statements about Remove Your Content's business practices ("He gets paid by other sites (sic) owners to take down pirated content. However he does it in a totally illegal matter (sic)," Complaint Ex. 2 [6] and "Most of his DMCA (sic) are not legid (sic) because he would reported (sic) unlicensed material or matrial (sic) he doesn't even own (sic) its copyright," Complaint Ex. 2 [6]).

Remove Your Content seeks exemplary damages and attorneys' fees in excess of $100,000, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctions barring the defendants from contacting Plaintiff's place of business, employees, and clients, and from making false and defamatory statements about Plaintiff and Plaintiff's employees. Further, Remove Your Content has indicated its intent to seek discovery to uncover the identities of Does 1-20 ("Plaintiff now sues in order to discovery and verify the identities of the Defendants and recover damages." Complaint [4] ¶11)
