Revenge porn site founder loses $250k defamation suit
Attorney Marc Randazza hasn't been quiet about his hatred for so-called revenge porn sites. The copyright and First Amendment lawyer blogged last year that entities like IsAnybodyDown (or the now defunct IsAnyoneUp) frustrated him to the point where he'd represent victims pro bono. "I want to hurt them bad," he wrote. "If anyone out there has been scammed by these crooks, contact me."
The larger battle is still ongoing, but Randazza scored a small, initial victory this weekend. In a Friday decision at the Clark County, Nevada district court, Randazza Legal Group secured a $250,000 defamation judgment against IsAnyoneUp site founder, Hunter Moore. This particular defamation case was not related to Moore's revenge porn activities, but it instead focused on statements Moore issued about James McGibney, the CEO of Bullyville.com.
