He estimates $2 ~ 3k to get a court order of discovery served on Optus (his ISP) which is a Singapore company. I figured if someone know who he is and would like some cash, it's be cheaper to pay them. If no one responds, I'll pay the lawyer whatever it cost to track the mongrel down. |

Maybe as high as $20,000? A more correct question would be: What price your principals? Bush sent America to war against Saddam and a whole country of innocent people because Saddam once tried to have his father assassinated. What price revenge? |

$500 AUD Cash reward for information
(Offtopic, like this entire posting. Just defending my name. I shall
not respond beyond this, except to Mr MacDonald's solicitors.(grin)) Firstly, it seems that Douglas is not quite getting the response he wished. He is now recognised for the type of person he is. A CASH REWARD IS OFFERED for information leading to the identity of an Internet image thief, proven liar and stalker. And good luck getting your money. Anyone who bites will have as much hope as people like Avery, Annika, Rusty and others had, of ever getting Douglas' free samples. And of course he has performed this stunt before - a quick search will reveal very similar postings in the past. A person posting with the credentials of: and Is engaged in theft of my photographs off my web site 'Theft' is stealing. I haven't stolen anything. Let me explain this in words of less than two syl-lab-les. 1. Douglas posted images and text on the In-ter-net. 2. Douglas drew at-ten-tion to them in these groups. 3. People cri-tic-ised his images and in-fer-en-ces. 4. He (cow-ard-ly) withdrew the images and text. 5. People like me reposted the images and text so Douglas can't get away with it. That's not stealing. In fact, just about anyone with even a smattering of legal training will look at that and laugh. 'Fair use', they will chuckle. and defamation of me and my family. Nope. I've called him a liar, because he does lie. I've called him a fraud, because he has used fraudulent means to try to promote his business (although it seems his business is almost completely non-existent - he certainly has no 'Techno Aussie Digital Print Centre' franchise that he claimed in the laughable 'Graham Hunt' episode). The difference here is that anyone can look up all those incidents. But can Douglas post a nice clear simple link to where *I* have lied? Defamation only applies if one utters untruths. And of course I've called him a sockpuppet, because he has used many identities (over 40 at last count) to pretend to be different people of the same view, and to support his own posts. I am now committed to pursuing and silencing him through the court system, regardless of the cost. So why doesn't he get off his arse and do it? What was this post supposed to achieve? Make me tremble in my boots? Not gonna happen. My name is Douglas MacDonald. I run a number of web sites the most significant is photosbydouglas.com Isn't that the one he pulled down and said he had completely abandoned - along with digital photography - only a few months back? (refer to "Digicams With MF Film Quality" in rec.photo.digital, which contains more examples of his pulled webpages and ridiculous claims), and also "Return to film... True!" in rec.photo.equipment.35mm I offer now a NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED $500 AUD cash reward for information of the real identity and residential address of the person using these identities. 'No questions asked'? Let's read on... The money will be paid by my lawyers at Eagle Street Brisbane on successful service of summonses on this person. Oh. So there are in fact quite a few 'questions' and conditions. Here's a simple solution - if Douglas will post the name of his lawyer/s, I will happily identify myself to them, and forward to them every post I've ever made about him in full context. If he has a problem with that (and he will!), I think we can say his bluff has now officially been called. The payment will be cash and you do not need to identify yourself Hence my request. I'll give my details to an *unbiased* observer, but I don't wish to be identified by Douglas because he is a *obsessed borderline psychotic*. If you doubt that, from another post on this topic, Douglas said, and I quote: I'll find you soon enough... Scum like you are the reason shopkeepers keep shotguns under the counter. Any questions, folks? That will be one of the first things I show his lawyer... just wait until your information is verified and the court papers served, to be paid. But what if Douglas decides he won't proceed? (Gee, not that it would be likely, I'm sure that any lawyer would *jump* at the chance to represent someone like him..) But of course by then he would have my address... Anyone else feel like giving him their address, after that shotgun remark?? Anyway, these silly threats might work on someone with little intelligence, and maybe Douglas thinks everyone thinks just like him. But they ain't working on me. If he continues to post rubbish and then withdraw it, I will continue to *repost* it for posterity, and to ensure he doesn't get away with his ridiculous claims. To prove that he won't stop me keeping him honest, here's another of the Douglas classic posts, which deserves another showing: http://www.geocities.com/chrlzs/flinders-20D Herein Douglas tried to show how badly a Canon performs with shadow detail. But take a careful look at the EXIF data which shows the exposure mode he used (partial, which is similar to spot), and then look at the histogram. Remembering, this is a sunlit beach scene, and he effectively used spot metering off the guy's sunlit white pants, shirt and beach sand, with no compensation...!!! Does anyone here think the problem is the camera, or is it the photographer? I can post more - is Douglas going to summons the Wayback Machine too? There are many other ways to get cached data, so no-one can escape their history. I'm happy for any of *my* work to be reposted, by the way - I'll be flattered! And my old stuff is actually not that hard to find... (O: So remember - these are his *publicly posted webpages*, complete with all copyright messages, reposted for educational purposes. Contact me through my web sites. Any takers yet? I hope no-one beats me to my $500. (O: I'm waiting for your lawyer's name, Douglas. |

Whatever may be the rightness or wrongness of any of this, the claims and counterclaims in which leave me rigid with boredom, I was just wondering why all the hyphenation? Have we accidentally strayed into English as a Foreign Language? Or is there some oth-er rea-son? Helen. |
