Lunatic June Maxam at North Country Gazette shuts down her website over her article posted on ARS
Smurf
from some deranged bitch named June Maxan over copying her news
article on Bernie McCabe's corruption in Florida to ARS & Operation
Clambake. In each posting, a hyperlink was also posted to Ms. Maxam's
page so not to infringe on her copyright. This was not good enough
for Ms. Maxam who claimed her work was being stolen and threatened to
sue me if I did not remove my posting of the article from ARS. I
complied with her request but noted that in checking the ARS & OC
archives, others have posted this same article as early as April
2008. I presumed those critics got the same nasty email I got from
Maxan.
I wanted to know more about this deranged, over-reactive bitch and
what I found was quite interesting. First, she has shut down her
website at "northcountrygazette.org". A Google search of that site
shows this interesting comment "Due to the inability of individuals
connected to the Scientology movement, such as the Scientology group
at Google Groups and Operation Clambake at Xenu.net ..." (the sentence
is incomplete).
Here are some interesting insights into the "disgraced" June Maxam.
It should be noted that other bloggers have copy-and-paste her article
on their pages only to be accused by this lunatic that they, too, were
stealing her work and she was going to sue them. Evidentally, from the
date of the blogger's posts, they haven't been phased by the bitch
threats.

If you copy the entire article, with or without a link, it's probably
copyright infringement. The Freerepublic website practiced similar
behavior, was sued, and lost, despite including links of this sort.
Despite this, most news outlets do not go around threatening people
for the small infringement of copying single articles.

It seems like rather pointless activity, but if for some reason she
had the resources or the crazy to pursue it, it's unlikely that
copying entire articles would be found to be fair use, at least for
people posting from the U.S. who could be located. She'd have to
figure out how to subpoena them in Norway, of course, if their
identities weren't known. No rational person would go to this trouble
over an infringement that I doubt is costing her a cent, but she
doesn't appear to be rational. I am somewhat skeptical she is
rational enough to figure out how to do that.

did you post the whole article or just a 'fair use'
portion? maybe she is a lunatic and bitch, but if
you posted the whole thing, regardless of whether
you linked to her original or not, she's still the
copyright owner and has the right to control the
copying and distribution of her article.

And another.
161 A.D.2d 961, 557 N.Y.S.2d 534
The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v.
June G. Maxam, Appellant
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department, New York
May 24, 1990
CITE TITLE AS: People v Maxam
Mercure, J. Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Warren
County (Moynihan, Jr., J.), rendered December 20, 1988, convicting
defendant following a nonjury trial of the crime of misconduct in
relation to petitions.
On July 16, 1987, a petition was filed designating defendant as the
Republican Party candidate for the office of Town Supervisor of the
Town of Chester, Warren County. After a hearing conducted by the
Warren County Board of Elections uncovered evidence that defendant
signed the "statement of witness" on the petition although she was not
present at the time of several of the signatures, defendant was
indicted by a Grand Jury for intentionally offering a false instrument
for filing in violation of Penal Law § 175.30 and making a false
statement in violation of Election Law § 17-122. Following a nonjury
trial, defendant was convicted of the Election Law violation and a
$500 fine was imposed. This appeal ensued.
We turn first to the question of whether the People satisfied their
burden of proving the element of intent. Election Law § 17-122 (7)
provides in pertinent part that: "Any person who ... [b]eing a
subscribing witness to a petition, provided for in the election law,
for the designation or nomination of a candidate ... thereby makes a
false statement or makes a false affidavit thereon ... is guilty of a
misdemeanor." It is undisputed that defendant signed the petition's
statement of witness, that she did not witness the signatures in
question and that her signature was immediately preceded by a
declaration that the signers had "subscribed [their names] in [her]
presence", that the document would be deemed "the equivalent of an
affidavit" and that it did not "contain [ ] a material false
statement". Defendant claims, however, that she was not guilty of
violating Election Law § 17-122 (7) because she signed the statement
"in haste and confusion", without reading it on the last day for the
filing of designating petitions. We disagree.*962
Because the statute does not include either the word "intentional" or
the word "knowing", the People need only prove a general, as opposed
to a specific, intent to commit the charged crime (1 Callaghan,
Criminal Law in New York § 5:04, at 5-5 [3d ed]). General intent has
been defined as "an intent to do knowingly and wilfully that which is
condemned as wrong by the law and ... is presumed from the criminal
act itself" (1 Callaghan, Criminal Law in New York § 5:03, at 5-3 [3d
ed]). Contrary to defendant's assertion, the evidence did not
unequivocally show that she was unaware of what she was signing.
Rather, there were questions of credibility for resolution by the
trier of fact (see, People v Turner, 141 AD2d 878, lv denied 72 NY2d
962; People v Weaver, 105 AD2d 292, 294), particularly in view of the
testimony of Robert Allen, a Commissioner of Elections of Warren
County, that defendant indicated that she signed the petition "because
the person who circulated it was not registered". In our view, given
that intent may be inferred from the act itself and the surrounding
circumstances (People v Turner, supra), defendant's conviction was
amply supported by the evidence.
Defendant next claims that she should not have been convicted because
the signatures were genuine and not forged. Again, we disagree. The
purpose of Election Law § 17-122 (7), to make punishable the making of
a false statement by a subscribing witness so as to avoid fraudulent
petitions (see, People v McManus, 187 Misc 609, 615-616 [discussing
Penal Law former § 760-a from which Election Law § 17-122 (7) is
derived]), would be frustrated if conviction could be avoided by a
later showing that the signatures were genuine. Furthermore, the
statute's connection with its legitimate objective of assuring genuine
signatures is by no means tenuous. Election Law § 17-122 (7) serves
the purpose of "avoiding fraudulent practices, confusion, and threats
to the integrity of the system" ( Matter of Fromson v Lefever, 112
AD2d 1064, 1066, affd 65 NY2d 946; see, Matter of Sheehan v Scaringe,
60 NY2d 795, 796; Matter of Franco v Velez, 112 AD2d 875, 877, affd 65
NY2d 967) and is not unconstitutional as applied to this defendant.
Defendant also contends that certain evidentiary rulings deprived her
of due process of law and require a new trial. We have reviewed each
assignment of error and find little merit in her contentions. The
prosecutor should not have been permitted to refer, in his summation,
to articles and letters apparently written by defendant which were not
in evidence and, arguably, an affidavit by Allen, received into
evidence onredirect, *963 was hearsay and self-serving. Any such error
was harmless, however, particularly since this was a nonjury trial.
The Court of Appeals has stated that "[u]nlike a lay jury, a Judge 'by
reasons of ... learning, experience and judicial discipline, is
uniquely capable of distinguishing the issues and of making an
objective determination' based upon appropriate legal criteria,
despite awareness of facts which cannot properly be relied upon in
making the decision" (People v Moreno, 70 NY2d 403, 406, quoting
People v Brown, 24 NY2d 168, 172).
We have examined defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be
without merit.
Judgment affirmed.

But that wasn’t enough for those sanctimonious people who obsessively
oppose scientology. When “Smurf” over at the Google groups forum of
alt.religion scientology stole the whole article in violation of
Google’s Terms of Service, Clambake and Sponge applauded and stole
more of the article.

lol, what have you been up to? And what was the article about? And
why would she object to copying it anyway? Isn't that advertising?
Maybe she's crazy, she sure sounds pissed.

Check out the homepage over at North Country Gazette. I'd post the
URL but June Maxam might froth at me.

Thanks for posting this, henri. It speaks volumes. I wonder if June
Maxam & Barbara Schwarz are related?

It _was_ a Copyrighted work and the author _does_ have the legal right
to limit its replication. And people _did_ violate the laws when they
copied the article completely, even if they attributed it and provided
links to the original.

Maybe so. Maybe not. First, there was no record that her article was
copyrighted except for her claiming as such. Second, there are are
certain exemptions granted to the replication of media under the U.S.
Copyright law "fair use" doctrine. Nothing is black or white. It is up
to the court to interpret its ruling.

FAIL. Copyright is automatic in the US since the mid-80s.. Registration is
only an extra step, usually if you want to collect damages.

Good find.. this one alone says it all.
She emailed me once saying she was going to sue me if I didn't remove
a post that had fair use quotes and a link to her site!
She's nuts.When I saw in a google alert a quote from her article
mentioning ARS and OCMB and critics violating copyright, I had to
chuckle. Too bad the link was dead by that point. I wanted to read it
and also see what stuff she's gotten on McCabe.

No maybe about it. Case law routinely rules against complete or
near complete replication despite being non-commercial and despite
being news.

Ah, so she _does_ have a mental history with law enforcement. I
thought she might since "these people" almost always do.
debge...@gmail.com
bodyw...@gmail.com
Now she simply attacks random people who previously have had zero contact with her and were blissfully unaware of her miserable existence. She has a history of attempting (and sometimes successfully) adopting animals from out of state and then immediately trying to dispose of them.
She claims to be disabled and legally blind, so cannot drive, yet can see well enough to manage campaigns of hate from her keyboard, the only thing she excels at. She solicits donations for her North C*untry Gazette blog yet has no NY business license, as is required, to do so and does not disclose her income to the IRS. She is NOT by any stretch of the imagination either a nonprofit or a publisher.
She continues to collect the IP addresses of anyone who views her pathetic little blog and then starts terror campaigns against the viewers, so BEWARE.
BEWARE, people. This woman isn't crazy and she isn't done making life miserable for humans and endangering the good work they can do or the animals in their care.
