[quote=Anonymous]More pro se stuff has been popping up. It's mostly Motions to Quash from the content creators, but also Perez Hilton requesting a protective order and a random guy making an argument why Lively's claims should be dismissed or summary judgment granted to Wayfarer (ie, what Freedman never bothered to do, and the guy has some decent points!).

The content creators mostly use similar templates but personalize them to their situations. There's one from Canada, one from the UK, and one who had just ONE subscriber. The one from the UK actually did have contact with Wayfarer's counsel because she's the one who tipped them off to the infamous NYT metadata, but she says they never replied to her. She says she was a domestic violence victim and calls the subpoena a digital strip search and points out several mistakes from Hudson.

I'm fascinated at how this will shake out... like, is Manatt going to rack up billables responding to whether they are required to follow the procedures under UK law when the creator is a British citizen but the subpoena is to Google? Are they going to argue they can't know if the creators are lying unless they get the IP proving they're not in the US? Are they going to get all aggressive and accuse them of crimes? (Some people on reddit want one of the creators prosecuted for allegedly committing perjury by using a fake name).

They are so passionate I actually wonder if strategically, Wayfarer should ask if any of them want to volunteer to testify at trial and basically just explain how they, organically, started hating Lively on their own. It would be a free trip to NY and publicity for them... I think some would definitely do it!

I just again have no clue why Lively's side would open this all up. They really better have a damn good reason because it's so ridiculous. And this will all be coming to a head late next week when the lawyers will be there in person for a hearing regarding the subpoena to Freedman's law firm.[/quote]
