<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>THE DIRTY ARMY:</strong> Nik, this is Lauren Atchison continuing her long run of being the biggest wh*re in Chicago. At 28 she doesn&#8217;t have much time left to score a guy to take care of her so she f*cks everybody, but they catch on fast! Her reputation is so bad she would have better off winning the lottery than finding a guy that truly loves her except one Moran who she treats like sh*t, but is one of the best looking guys in Chicago and the only one of helps her out with anything or shows her any respect. He is an idiot and he will be mad this got posted, but he needs to realize she doesn&#8217;t give a f*ck about him&#8230; This is in your best interest brother&#8230; You know who posted and don&#8217;t get mad&#8230; you have to realize what a piece of sh*t she is &#8230;. and it would be one things if she was good to you , but she f*cks other guys and talks shit about you&#8230; she is a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 and your are an 11&#8230; F*ck her!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>You really don&#8217;t like this girl.- nik</strong></p>

<p><strong>I learned my craft from real life experiences. Unless you are trying to be a medical doctor, I don&#8217;t see the point. What does a degree in Psychology or Communications get you these days? It is the people who hustle in this world who survive.- nik</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>THE DIRTY ARMY:</strong> Mac Dre ain&#8217;t got shit on DA MACK! If you&#8217;re in need for a good fck, don&#8217;t call this man because he has never porked anything moving except his hand(maybe stray cats though). If you&#8217;re looking for someone to dance with at a club well guess what? This guy is only schooled in the hyphy movement which means you might get an elbow to the face or your new shoes might get stepped on. Enough of the negatives, this guy really needs some lovin. Someone teach him some proper dances like the charleston or the hokie pokie? he&#8217;s not a bad guy. he&#8217;s about 5&#8217;8&#8243; 100lbs of solid muscle&#8230;holler at him. He Works at Papa Murphys so give him a chance with your pie.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>I&#8217;d like to know why this guy is tagged in Harvard as an athlete, no way he is either.- nik</strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">First, please note that you have identified the wrong entity in your correspondence – the website </span><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.thedirty.com/" target="_blank"></a></span><a href="http://www.TheDirty.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">www.TheDirty.com</span></a><span style="color: #000000;"> is NOT operated by, nor is it associated with, DIRTY WORLD ENTERTAINMENT, LLC.  Rather, as is clearly reflected on the site (</span><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://thedirty.com/terms-of-use/" target="_blank"></a></span><a href="http://thedirty.com/terms-of-use/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">http://thedirty.com/terms-of-use/</span></a><span style="color: #000000;">) the operator of </span><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.thedirty.com/" target="_blank"></a></span><a href="http://www.TheDirty.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">www.TheDirty.com</span></a><span style="color: #000000;"> is </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">DIRTY WORLD, LLC</span></span><span style="color: #000000;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Second, please note that the founder, artist, and comedic genius behind </span><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.thedirty.com/" target="_blank"></a></span><a href="http://www.TheDirty.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">www.TheDirty.com</span></a><span style="color: #000000;"> is NOT Hooman Karamian. There is no such individual associated with the site, nor is “NIK RITCHIE” the proper spelling of my client’s name.  Rather, Mr. Richie’s legal surname is spelled without a ‘t’ – i.e., RICHIE.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Third, please note that you are mistaken in your assertion that Dirty World is not entitled to protection under the DMCA based on its failure to designate an agent for receipt of DMCA notices.  As reflected in the attached PDF file, since November 1, 2007, Dirty World, LLC </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">has</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"> been properly registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.  Nothing more is required in order for Dirty World to be entitled to the safe-harbor provisions of the DMCA.  However, for reasons set forth below, this is point is probably irrelevant.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Fourth, Dirty World has serious concerns and, frankly, doubts as to the propriety of your two purported DMCA notices based on the following fact – your notice(s) state that your client, Erin Muller, is the lawful copyright owner of the photos at issue, but that position appears directly inconsistent with the photos themselves.  For instance, even a cursory review of the photos demonstrates that Ms. Muller did NOT take, and could not have taken, any of the photos.  In every single photo I have reviewed, Mr. Muller is clearly not the photographer; she is engaged in other activity such as A.) opening an oven door; B.) performing fellatio on a very small object; jumping over a railing, or otherwise occupying her hands in such a manner that it would be impossible for her to simultaneously take a photograph.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As you should know, the fact that Ms. Muller is shown in a photo does NOT mean that she also owns the copyright in that photo.  Rather, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 201(a), ownership of a work such initially vests in the “author” of that work.  In the case of a photograph, this means the </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">photographer</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"> who took the photo owns the copyright, not the model or other subject shown in the photo.  Because none of the photos identified in your notice appear to be self-portraits by Ms. Muller, your allegation that Ms. Muller is the owner of the copyright in these photos appears to be facially false.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As you should also know, and as is explained on the “copyright FAQ” section of The Dirty’s site (located here: </span><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://thedirty.com/copyright/" target="_blank"></a></span><a href="http://thedirty.com/copyright/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">http://thedirty.com/copyright/</span></a><span style="color: #000000;">) making a materially false statement in a DMCA notice is unlawful pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and may subject the violator to serious consequences including liability for damages, costs and attorney’s fees.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Having said, I recognize that it is always possible that Ms. Muller may nevertheless own the copyright to the photos at issue if the copyright was transferred to her in a written agreement signed by the original owner as required by 17 U.S.C. § 204(a).  Alternatively (though this seems highly unlikely), it is also possible that Ms. Muller might be the original copyright owner if the photos were “works for hire”; i.e., they were taken by her employee acting within the scope of his/her employment, or they were made by an independent contractor acting under a written agreement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">In any event, based on the facts presently available, The Dirty and Mr. Richie respectfully decline to honor either of the DMCA notices supplied by your client unless and until your client satisfactorily explains the factual and legal basis for her claim to ownership of these photos.  If I do not receive a response to that request by </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">Friday, Sept. 17, 2010</span></span><span style="color: #000000;">, I will assume your client has decided to withdraw her DMCA notices.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In terms of the purported subpoena you provided, please note that pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c)(2)(B), Dirty World objects to the subpoena on the following grounds:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">1.)     The subpoena does not appear to have been validly issued by the clerk of court as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(h)(1);</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">2.)     Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(b)(1) the subpoena was not personally served;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">3.)     Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(b)(2)(B), the subpoena was not personally served within 100 miles of the district court from which it was issued (assuming it was issued at all);</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">4.)     Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(2), the subpoena seeks information which is protected by the First Amendment; </span><em><span style="color: #000000;">see Mobilisa v. Doe</span></em><span style="color: #000000;">, 217 Ariz. 103, 17- P.3d 712 (App. 2007); and </span><em><span style="color: #000000;">Best Western Int’l, Inc. v. Doe</span></em><span style="color: #000000;">, 2006 WL 2091695 (D.Ariz. 2006);</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">5.)     Pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-2214(B), the subpoena is void within the State of Arizona to the extent it seeks information from either Dirty World or Mr. Richie within the affidavit required by A.R.S. § 12-2214(A).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For each of these reasons, Dirty World will not produce the information requested in your subpoena and will take no action with respect to your DMCA notice(s) unless and until you provide additional information as requested above.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you have any questions, please let me know.</span></p>
