Re: No, 8chan will not comply with your demand. Dear Mr. Pilosof: This law firm, along with Michael Cernovich, Esq. has the privilege of serving as counsel to 8chan.co. 8chan forwarded your legal demand for a response.
Please correct me if I am wrong. This all started when your client posted a video1 in which Julien Blanc gives men advice on picking up Japanese women. (if you call it that)
Part of his advice is as follows:
“at least in Tokyo, If you’re a white male, you can do what you want”
“Romping through the streets just like grabbing girls… head on dick… head on dick… yelling Pikachu.” (gesturing a motion of grabbing a woman’s head and pushing it into his crotch). The video then demonstrates this “advice” in action.
I don’t know whether it is true that white men can do whatever they want in Tokyo. If that’s true, I’m moving there. I want to do whatever I want, without consequences. All I’ve been looking for my entire life is the ability to have a consequence-free existence.
I thought that getting really rich was the secret to that. Imagine my delight when I learned that I don’t need to be a billionaire to do whatever the fuck I want. I’ve had the power to have a consequence free existence all along! I just had to look inside myself, and see my Caucasian DNA, look inside my pants and see my penis, and just seize it as my birthright (the power, not my penis). This is embarrassing for me, since I always make fun of people who use the terms “white privilege” or “male privilege.” But, I’ll take a little embarrassment in exchange for magic white dude power.2

Nope. We’re not complying. Page 2 of 3
I would imagine that there may be different social mores in Tokyo, but I bet that royal ass kickings do happen there. I would like to offer a bounty of $5,000 to anyone in Tokyo who beats the bejesus of your client, as long as the ass whuppery results in his hospitalization, and it is in response to him assaulting a Japanese woman (double the pledge if it is the woman herself who puts him in the hospital). This may seem extreme, or even cruel. But, Mr. Blanc could use his magic white guy power to heal himself, and then turn into Mazinga, and then blast the assailant to kingdom come. Mazinga is wicked bad ass, and he can totally fuck shit up.
While we are on the subject of fucking shit up, lets discuss your demand.
I am not sure if you have ever heard of Mazinga before this letter, but I am pretty certain that you have never heard of the CDA. Here’s the citation: 47 U.S.C. § 230. Go look up cases in which it gets cited. I could give you some, but there really are none that will help you. Of course, if you respond, you might think that you are the first genius to find the Roommates.com decision. I’ll wait for you to invoke it before educating you on how absurd it would be to rely on it here. But, maybe you’ll figure that out on your own.
You also wrote in your demand:
The undersigned, the attorney of REAL SOCIAL DYNAMICS, INC., (“RSD”) hereby requests that the following posts be taken down:
https://8chan.co/takedownjulienblanc/index.html The statements contained therein are untrue, private and defamatory. Such information and statements were made to malicious injure RSD’s business. Further, they contain statements that are patently untrue. The notion that some anonymous individual knows the equity structure of RSD a privately held company is ridiculous. The attribution of ownership contained in the post is patently false. This letter constitutes a demand for immediate takedown of such post.
Lets go back to page one. Your client is the guy who seems to advocate sexual assault against random women, on the basis that he’s Caucasian, and they’re not. Neither Mike, nor I, are in any danger of winning the “Male Feminist of the Year Award.” But Jesus Hello Kitty Christ on a Rocket-Powered Toboggan, are you FREAKIN’ SERIOUS?
If you have the audacity to file a defamation claim on behalf of a guy who advocates sexual assault, and relies on racist bunk to justify it, then come at us, bro. Our client might just waive his CDA immunity and let the case stand on the merits of the defamation claim. I can not express how much joy I would find in watching you try and articulate how your client’s reputation has been harmed by anything other than his own asinine, racist, sexist, rapey-creep-scumbag statements.
Your demand ends with some quasi DMCA takedown language.
I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.The information in the notification is accurate, and under
Nope. We’re not complying. Page 3 of 3
penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed
I am not going to bother to educate you on the DMCA. Go look it up. While you’re at it, go look at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
Your demand refers to Japanese Law not applying to this situation.
All references to Japanese law in the post are without foundation and merit.
We agree. However, I can only presume that your letter was sent in the mistaken belief that Japanese law does apply though. Because, I can’t imagine which U.S. law you think gives you the right to demand anything here. I presume that you thought that you could invoke the Japanese law that your client seems to think exists – that as a white guy, he is entitled to a consequence free existence where he can do whatever he wants.
If that law really exists, we decline to submit to its application.
Your client does not have the magic white guy power to censor our client’s website. Your client does not have the magic white guy power to a consequence-free existence.
Your client made some really objectionable statements. There is a price for that – it is called “criticism.” Your client acted like an ass, and people pointed at him and said “look at that asshole!” Rather than answer the criticism, your client sought to cower behind a wall of censorship. This really isn’t advisable for someone like your client, who will likely need to raise the shield of the First Amendment at some time in the near future.
Julien Blanc may bully Japanese girls, but he will not bully our client. And, with any luck, he’ll try and bully the wrong Japanese girl. We hope that when he does, the event gets captured on video.
Sincerely,
Marc J. Randazza

All references to Japanese law in the post are without foundation and merit. The “anonymous” post is not from an official judicial body of the Japanese government. RSD can equivocally state that it nor any of its employees have been contacted by any judicial body in Japan. In point of fact, neither RSD nor any of its employees are subject of any criminal proceeding. The inaccurate and false statements contained are defamatory per se and need to be removed immediately.
