The Ahmadiyya “Muslim” Community has decided not to take me to court pursuant to my DMCA Counter-Notification of 25th June. As a result of this, my videos are being re-instated. Justice is sweet, even when it takes time.
I now have to decide whether I want to take legal action, but that was never what it was originally about.
And in any case, I’m getting all my kicks from playing the most wonderful Super Stardust HD on my PS3…my score of 23.5 million puts me above all my colleagues, some of whom are hardcore gamers. I must say, it feels ridiculously good to be top. The “older” guy can still do it.
Going back to YouTube, they finally responded once I turned to the newly formed UK corporation. The latter will not have to respond now that the Americans have answered my plea before the UK office opens for business in the morning.
All in all, YouTube have been quite slow, but I can understand why. I am more concerned that the person who filed the DMCA takedown (section 512) on behalf of the AMC remains anonymous. Nobody should be able to file a case such as this anonymously.
Regardless, a temporary victory for a single Muslim against the family business of the Mirza Royal Family…(all victories are temporary….just as my top ranking amongst my colleagues is likely to disappear by tomorrow…as ephemeral as the morning dew…since one of my somewhat proud colleagues is at this very moment, attempting to usurp my titanic figure….poor guy!)

I ain’t sure whether you are same but long time back I was in argument with a shahid on asma mirza blog. ANyways,I would request you to calm down and don’t your family at risk.
shahid 07.17.07 at 5:45 pm
No, it wasn’t me and I find your comment peculiar.

That’s the way to tackle it. Most of the books you used have no copyright (never claimed) or is expired. In addition, your use was fair use.

I thought it was you: http://shahid313.blogspot.com/
I dealt with that shahid and then even made a separate document to answer him(at that time I didn’t write on blogs). Anyway, sorry.

kinkminos, what are you talking about?
shahid 07.19.07 at 10:26 pm
Akber and Jon, thanks for your support!
kinkminos 07.21.07 at 7:13 am
what i’m talk-ling about is that someone seems to have confused you with your spiritual mirror image, one shahid313.
you, it seems, are NOT shahid “3″ or “13″.
shahid 07.21.07 at 9:06 am
Ah thanks. I could make most of that Urdu out, but not the “teen”, sounded like “3″ to me, but the link didn’t work either, so I was left mightily confused.
kinkminos 07.21.07 at 3:33 pm
so that would make you confusedpaki.com… ah but then how would we differentiate you from the other 15.99 crore confusedpakis?
shahid 07.21.07 at 4:18 pm
I think somebody already has confusedpaki.com.
And there’s a queue in front of me of about, I don’t know, 15.99 crore pakis.
