nsane.forums Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Nashville man wants porn filters by default; made an EDM YouTube video to argue it.Legal drama is nothing new for Apple—Samsung, e-books, App Store trademarks, etc. But the company has probably never seen anything like the 50-page complaint AboveTheLaw.com points out this week.Plaintiff (and attorney) Chris Sevier filed the document (Scribd) against Apple in a US District Court in Nashville, TN last month. Sevier's beef with Cupertino boils down to a simple fact: they sell machines that allow men to view porn. From his introduction (all formatting, grammar, spelling left as is):The Plaintiff loves Apple. The Plaintiff believes in Apple, as a company and knows that it has good intent. Since its inception, Apple has always been a pro-family company, Apple has always been an entity that is concerned with the welfare of our Nation's children, while furthering pro-American values. There is no reason for Apple, a private company to overly support pornography online, explicit sexual content which has led to the proliferation of arousal addiction, sex trafficking, prostitution, and countless numbers of destroyed lives. The Plaintiff respectfully demand that Apple sell all of its devices on "safe mode," with software preset to filter out pornographic content. If the purchaser of Apple's products is over 18, Apple should allow the buyer to take additional step to acquire a password from Apple in order to remove the filter to access Constitutionally protected indecent content. If the buyer is under 18, Apple should not provide the password.Sevier is seeking damages and injunctive relief against Apple because they make products that can display porn ("or as the rest of us call it, the Internet," AboveTheLaw notes). So Sevier legally requests that Apple enables a porn-filtering "safe mode" by default on its devices. His complaint notes that "If Apple agrees to sell its devices 'on safe mode' before trial, the Plaintiff will terminate this litigation."The 50-pages contain a plethora of eyebrow-raising gems. Sevier claims his porn addiction started because of a simple typo in Safari (he was trying to access "facebook.com"). He alleges Apple's porn offering led to unfair competition between his wife and porn stars, which ultimately caused a deteriorating relationship. Sevier's electronic group, called Ghost Wars, even made a supporting YouTube video (referenced in the complaint) "that summarizes the issues in the lawsuit as it relates to rewiring, voyeurism products liability, and systemic problems that are the direct result of our collective arrogance to not do something about an problem area [sic]."Unsurprisingly, Apple has yet to respond to the filing according to cir.ca.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylemessiah Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 He's right, Apple is forcibly making people watch pornHas the smell of rampant ideology about itAhh, theres no shortage of dickheadsNext he will be launching a lawsuit claiming that putting Apple headphones into your ears will make you gay .....my guess is that he'll then suggest this can be "cured" by Cathollcism....Then he'll ask all car manufacturers to only sell cars that have no engine, so you cant possibly start your car, as it might encourage you to drive over the speed limitThis douchebag is on a self promotion trip, he has a band, fancies himself a model and is just your regular wanker with access to a keyboard and the internetThere is a claim going about that he is a deregistered lawyer :)Next....

MidnightDistortions Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 If he was that offended by porn maybe he should file a complaint with the white house. It's not apple's fault he typo'd facebook.com. If anything i'd sue the website that has an url close to facebook that's vulgar. It's everywhere on the internet and apple or any other PC vendor can't simply block them all. There's going to be lawsuits all over that because apple's filter (if they decide to do one) did not block out some porn site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety.Abd Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The best thing for Apple would be to refuse to participate in this lawsuit as if the guy has a valid case. They should just laugh at him and treat him like the retard he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We have enough of these overly litigious, self-righteous, self-promoting numbnuts with law degrees and otherwise in India, whose only job it is to sue celebrities and public figures for "promoting decadence and indecency" and "hurting religious sentiments" :mad2:The courts duly throw out these frivolous PILs (Public Interest Litigation as we call 'em), but not before the massive wastage of time and money in an already slow and inefficient judicial system :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dMog Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 nothing wrong with being self righteous,,,,IF you are correct...not the case here...apple should sue this guy for their court costs because this is stupid and frivolous litigation not based upon actual fact and with not a shred of merit...this is just someone looking for 15 minutes of fame and few $$ on the way to it... one can alos argue then if this is ruled legitimate that i can sue apple because i can use an ipad to find out to make a bomb or learn how to be terrorists and anything else hbad in between... so apple is there for responsible for all things bad in the world... hey...where is my lawyer...
