Dear Matt:
I said on the forum that I'd send you $100 to help you resolve the Linda Ellis

matter.

Unfortunately, upon digging deeper into this month's allocated money, things are tighter around here than I thought so I'm only able to contribute $50 to your defense fund. I wish we could afford more... With that said, I appreciate very much everything you've done with ELI to help me work through my case with Getty Images. Your dynamic personality and obvious devotion to fighting copyright extortion on your website and forum has helped people around the world fight the various copyright extortion and speculative invoicing schernes now'so rampant on the Internet.
Your information on ELI represents one of the few tools individuals have at their disposal to respond to the lies, threats, and misrepresentations being sent out by various companies and individuals to twist and pervert copyright laws and thus enrich themselves with outrageous payment "settlements" paid by naive and fearful victims.
Because far too many people fall for threats from "fast buck" lawyers and unscrupulous individuals like Linda Ellis who makes absurd payment demands for what any judge would label as de minimus use of her lame poem, The Dash, it's vitally important that you and ELI be allowed to continue your work, work that I feel is fully protected by the First Amendment.

Sincerely yours,

Slw Mu11,r4a-a,
