Is isanybodydown.com operator Craig Brittain and David Blade one and the same?

On October 30 , my comrade from Popehat, Ken, received an e-mail from Craig Brittain with an originating IP address of 75.70.221.14.

 

Today, I received an e-mail from “David Blade, Attorney at Law” originating from the IP address 75.70.221.14.

 

For both e-mails, the next step in the message’s journey, Google’s mail servers, was IP address 93.114.44.79.

 

Turning back to address 75.70.221.14: This IP address is serviced by Comcast Cable, and originates in Colorado Springs.  You can check it yourself at this site.  If you’re willing to take my word for it, here’s a map:

I am certain this isn’t a Tor node or other proxy server.  Maybe Mr. Blade Brittain is stealing some elderly neighbor’s wifi.  But, in any event, I think we’ve solved the great David Blade identity mystery.

 

 

 

 

You Have Got to be Kidding

Hunter Moore:  Amateur

Craig Brittain:  Lightweight

Looks like posting compromising photos of unsuspecting victims is not enough.  Someone, who obviously once sat on a copy of the nutshell on copyright and online speech to sit at the grown-ups table, decided that merely posting photos was insufficient.  This vile person decided it was all hunky-dory to simply solicit photographs of so-called prostitutes without any credible evidence (not to be confused with Smoking Gun, which publishes mugshots and such of people actually arrested).

 

For your disgust, I present: PotentialProstitutes.com

Solicits submissions and offers removal for $99.  Thinks Sec. 230 is a safe harbor, when he is choosing to publish.  Libel per se, anyone?

Anonymous Comes for Hunter Moore – Moore’s Man Card Revoked

Anonymous has now targeted Hunter Moore.

In a release published today, Anon writes:

Greetings citizens of the world, We are Anonymous.

This is a call to all Anonymous worldwide, you have a chance to make a real difference in the lives of hundreds of bullied teenagers and protect them from real harm such as rape or stalking.

Hunter Moore, Founder of previous revenge pornography site http://www.isanyoneup.com is coming back stronger than ever from the shutdown of his previous website. This capitalist makes money off of the misery of others.

People submit pictures of others naked to his website and he posted their social networking profiles along with the pictures.

This time he is taking it a step further and plans to list physical addresses next to the victims pictures along with a map to their house, self proclaiming that he has singlehandedly enabled the stalking of hundreds.

His servers are up. he already has domains he is secretly testing and will go public soon. He hides behind a loophole of section 230 of the United States online decency act which states he cannot be held legally accountable for third party submitted content.

This is a call to all of anonymous. We Will hold hunter moore accountable for his actions, we will protect anyone who is victimized by abuse of our internet, we will prevent the stalking, rape, and possible murders as byproduct of his sites.

Operation Anti-Bully. Operation Hunt Hunter engaged. We are Anonymous, we are Legion, we do not Forgive, we do not Forget, Hunter Moore, EXPECT US. (source)

I applaud them for it. I do have one issue with the missive — I don’t think that Moore is as protected by Section 230 as he likes to believe.

But, lets set the legal issues aside for this post: Moore is a douchebag, and deserves everything that Anonymous may throw at him. Here’s why:

Once upon a time, girls weren’t all paranoid about being raped, having shit slipped in their drink, or being stalked. Then, douchebags discovered rohypnol, stalking, etc., which ushered in a new era of “Why has this asshole just showed up at my table with a drink in his hand? Does he think I’m an idiot?”

Now, thanks to these clowns, you need to convince the girl that she should have sex with you AND that you’re not going to rape her or cut her into little pieces. Girls who were once approachable are scared to death to even have a conversation with you in a bar. All because of douchebags who need to circumvent rejection with drugs. And stalking. Lots and lots of stalking.

The douchebag’s MO is to shit out a cloud of fear. That cloud of fear supports an ecosystem that only benefits two kinds of people — other douchebags and second-wave feminists who absolutely love women in fear, because it makes their bullshit message resonate with just enough terrified women to keep a few of them signing up for their classes. Never forget the best way to control behavior is through FEAR. Just like the TSA, fear creates a justification for existence. There is the implied message of “If you challenge me, I’ll fucking spank you, so you better choose wisely.” But, if you take away fear, the assholes evaporate.

Involuntary Porn sites (like those run by Hunter Moore, Eric Chanson, Craig Brittain, and Chance Trahan) are the online equivalent of the asshole who goes to a bar with roofies in his pocket, or who stalks a girl who won’t give him the time of day. They punish all women through fear because they got rejected by their high school prom date or some chick in a bar or…whatever. They get off on the smell of fear and the resultant power over a woman and this is the drug that gives them the warm tinglys.

Imagine if no women had to live in fear of a shithead ex-boyfriend or these dickless fucks. Forget the morality of what they do, if you want, and think about from a purely utilitarian / economic perspective. Without these nimrods, a woman would always feel comfortable letting you take naked pictures of her. Women would feel comfortable sending you those pics as a “hey good morning” present. More naked pictures of girls means a better world for everyone, in my humble opinion.

Real men don’t get off on scaring women. Real men get off on trying to take that fear away.

Not because we are nice, or chivalrous. OK, some of us are, but more importantly, it’s because we want more naked pics and Hunter More and Craig Brittain are fucking with that.

So fuck you, Hunter Moore. Fuck you, Eric Chanson. Fuck you, Chance Trahan. And Fuck you, Craig Brittain.

Any man who gets off on putting women in fear loses his man card.

Good hunting, Anonymous.

Kenneth White brings a human side to the “involuntary porn” fight

Kenneth White is a certified First Amendment Bad Ass. In fact, that’s why I love being co-counsel with him. Another reason is that Ken has this streak in him that brings humility and humanity to my desire to scream murum aries attigit and run screaming at the other side, fully nude, carrying my sword like some hallucinogenic-addled gaul.

Well, Ken has done it again. In this post, he calls out Chance Trahan, half of the team behind isanybodydown.com. He doesn’t call him out as a punk, but as a dad. Ken actually manages to play the “family card” without playing it the wrong way.

Ken also notes that isanybodydown.com is, in fact, down.

As far as I am concerned, if it stays that way, then everyone should lay off Chance Trahan and Craig Brittain. If it goes back up, then I have plaintiffs now… and I have a costco sized box of the spirit of murum aries attigit.

Still more on isanybodydown.com

If your pictures are posted on isanybodydown.com, contact me. I will represent you free of charge, and I have received many offers from lawyers in other states willing to do the same.

If legal action isn’t your thing, maybe a little bit of “turnabout is fair play” might be. It seems that the guy who runs the site pissed off elements of Anonymous some time back. Here is a lot of information about the owner.

Craig Brittain – the owner/operator of isanybodydown

isanybodydown.com responds!

Well, since he puts it this way….

And more emails from him here:

I wonder how accurate this information is:

And here’s his linked in profile.
