    if you don't have an issue with someone misusing the courts to try and get someone's personal information --not because of an actual copyright issue, but to silence criticism-

    A person’s feelings of what constitutes abuse of process may not be the case. However, anyone that feels wronged has the Courts opened to them. In the case I referenced about police running plates without having any legal grounds to do so was very surprising to me. It seemed to be abuse of authority but Scotus sided with police. Goes to show that what seems to be abuse may not legally be the case. I’m not advocating any sides here. Only showing the difference between feelings and what may be legal. You may feel that you have been damaged and you are free to feel that way but what a person os doing to make you feel that way may be perfectly legal and protected by law. That is the point.

    By the way, they are very funny videos.

    That cuts both ways. In any case, I described their ethical failings, so I will leave it to each person to decide where they draw the line. As I said, I suspect the WTS would draw it differently if they were on the other side of the issue.

    It doesn’t. Conduct is or isn’t abuse of process not both. It is not up to each person where to draw the the line it is up to the courts to determine whether or not abuse of process is the case. When it isn’t the case feeling bad about it like in the cases I referenced doesn’t make it illegal.
