    According to the latest info I could find, his I.D. has to be revealed to the WTBTS's lawyer. LOL - they'll keep his identity secret from the Watchtower Imams - not!

    I think a serving UK Bethelite will soon find himself being "reassigned" to his home congregation.

    Time for someone to look for a window-cleaning vacancy.

    "The court’s final decision still ordered Reddit to deliver Darkspilver’s identifying information to Watch Tower’s lawyers so they could try to shore up its copyright claim. While the court stipulated that Watch Tower’s attorneys were forbidden from revealing his identity to their client." (the cult)

    EFF filed motion for reconsideration, and all the paperwork is over. The hearing date is still unknown.

    My money's on him being a UK Bethelite - and a plant by the cult to expose & disrupt dissenters.

    Why would anyone who wants to appear as a fader/apostate on apostate web sites and frequently contribute public domain information, never condemn or even criticise the org or the G.B?

    The plot thickens - he then claims in court papers to be a devout JW when confronted by the org's legal department.

    Was this a charade by the WTBTS to make present & future faders/ex-JW's fearful of using JW material on the WWW to expose the cult?

    If so, it looks like it may have worked. Money donations well spent - in their eyes!

    Thanks Corney.

    Darkspilver didn't claim to be a "devout" JW. His declaration states: "My parents raised me as a Jehovah’s Witness, and I have been a member of that community my whole life. Many of my friends and family members today are active Jehovah’s Witnesses. I still consider myself a practicing Jehovah’s Witness, but like people of many faiths, there are aspects of the organization’s teachings and practices that I have issues with."

    My English isn't perfect but I think "devout" and "practicing" aren't one and the same. And I see no reasons to question Darkspilver's sincerity and to think he had any hidden agenda. Maybe he didn't "condemn" the org and didn't preach the choir, but he posted valuable information (sometimes overlooked by others) that often made WTS look unfavorably. Also, assuming he had the purpose to "expose & disrupt" dissenters and spent five years doing this - is there a single person harmed by Darkspilver?

    Finally, do I correctly understand you - do you think or assume that the purpose of Darkspilver's attempts to quash the subpoena is to chill dissenters?

    The latest hearing took place on August 1, and a ruling is still expected. Check it here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8509534/in-re-dmca-subpoena-to-reddit-inc/

    Another DMCA subpoena case (the Kevin McFree case) has been fully briefed 14 months ago, and no hearing has so far been scheduled.
