Exceptionally joyful this week. US Copyright Office confirming my registration is entirely valid & I am indeed a joint author of Iron Sky along with those others listed has been a vindication for me to continue to stand up for the rights of myself & others in the face of disparagement & humiliation.

Can't believe that this is happening. The US Court is powerless and Valve's Lawyers have completely wasted - not just my time - but the time of a US Federal Court with a "frivolous defense" that was dead on arrival. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been WASTED including US tax payer dollars!

I wonder if I can just write "Ooooof!" on my next reply brief & leave it as that. ALL of the Judges previous orders related to the question of authorship have to be VOIDED. The first thing the court needed was to determine "choice of law" which I tried to help with by mentioning it in my pleadings!

I've won. The Finnish cases had no "subject matter jurisdiction". They are all NULL & VOID. Still some paperwork to file but the US Judge's hands are tied and all his Orders based on those Finnish cases are NULL & VOID. Deus Ex Machina baby!

A judgment from a court that did not have subject-matter jurisdiction is forever a nullity.

If your business cannot prosper without breaking the law, then it is not a business. It is organized crime.
Like those dependent on slavery, child labor, or wage theft, it should go out of business as soon as possible.
