On 3/14/2014 copyright troll Keith Vogt filed a motion to intervene in Malibu Media v John Doe (ILND 13-cv-06312 ), finally designating himself as a porn troll.

The following documents show that Lipscomb panics. Long awaited news.

On Friday, a reply to Phillips’ motion (why Malibu shouldn’t be held in contempt of the court for failing to respond to comply with discovery) was filed. It is worth noting that this “masterpiece” was signed by Paul Nicoletti, who did not appear in Illinois for a long time, after Mary “judge is an asshole” Schulz was hired more than a year ago. Apparently, Lipscomb needed a deputy in Illinois with a higher rank of scumbaggery.

The argument is beyond laughable:

TCPDump is the only software in Plaintiff’s possession, custody, or control responsive to the Court’s Order. Further, it is the only software Plaintiff would possibly use at trial.

Yeah, this is the only software that proves infringement. And I’d like to use notepad.exe to substantiate my counterclaims if I ever decide to sue XArt for numerous occasions of breaking the law…

On 3/28/2014 Jonathan Phillips filed defendant’s opposition to Excipio’s motion to intervene, arguing that Excipio’s intervention is not necessary and only intended to “raise the cost of innocent infringers’ defenses,” i.e. a textbook definition of a frivolous act.

Phillips informs the court about a very disturbing fact: that

[…] Mr. Türbach, Excipio’s CEO, is also the President of Copyright Defenders, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. See Exh. A. It’s Director, Mattihas Schroder-Padawet provides declarations, like those of Tobias Feiser in this case, for many different plaintiffs and companies. […] (wherein Mr. Padawet claims to work for Excubitor USA, Inc.).
