Hi. You do not know me but I have seen you naked so many times that i feel like I know you. I found a website that has dozens of photographs of you naked along with videos of you changing clothes and showering and stuff like that. it also had your name and personal information to. It just got to the point where I feel guilty and I felt that I should let you now in case you did not know that this was on the internets. I know lots of girls like to be naked online but i doubt you would put your personal information out there like this so i thought i would email you just in case you did not now. Also you have a truely excellent body and I just love your sweet little titties and nice pussy. my hat is off to you, paula and if I ever go to the US and San Antonio I will be sure to look you up. looking at the comments posted on the site a lot of guys in the US want to meet you.

I just thought you might want to know that my roommate has just been called down to the Dean’s office to give a sworn statement under oath against you because the Dean wants to expel you Paula and one or two other Gamma girls. You are a real cunt and I hope to jesus that they do kick you out of the university. Her dad has already hired a lawyer to sue the university and the Gamma – and you. he called me wednesday asking for information about you. i told him about your mom at KU and where she works and where you work at. I cannot wait to see you kicked out of school. you are a total bitch and a really sick sick twisted sex freak.
One of the guys with the Lancers made a website and is busy gathering and posting naked pictures of you for everyone to see. that way all your future employers will get you see what you are – a slut and a bitch.
I am going to make sure that EVERYBODY knows about this and what you did Paula.

Dear Sir,
Just read about your lawsuit against me. I am guessing that Iam the John Doe defendants you have named (but that you didn’t name). So now what?
Just so you know, before all this nonsense started, I made a mirror image of all the info on the website, to include your clients’ photos and their names & addresses, and I have since reposted and rehosted them elsewhere online for all the world to see and, most importantly, enjoy!
I think that this is a great game and I am certain that those girls deserved it 110%.
So now what?
Sincerely yours

Re: Texxxan
Dear Sir, Well, it seems to me that you guys are trying to sue several people and have the site taken down. But since there are now mirror images of the website rehosted elsewhere, this whole thing seems kinda moot.
Too bad those girls never heard of the Streisand Effect. And we both know that there is no FBI Cyber Crimes unit investigating anything here. This is just some small town Texas attorney trying to make headlines.
So-called “revenge porn” sites are a growing market and they represent a lot of advertising dollars – money in my pocket. Do you honestly think that some attorney and PI from Beaumont is going to shut this business down? Be honest here, sir. Lie to your clients, lie to the media. Whatever, I don’t care. But at least be honest with yourself.
You people are trying to sue me. So how do you propose to get me into a court room? How do you propose to serve me with a citation??
The fact that you guys have basically filed a John Doe lawsuit shows your basic lack of understanding on how these kinds of websites work. 1) You don’t register them under your own name, for starters. You use a fake name with a pre-paid credit card.
2) When you register the domain of your site and when you are operating the server, in this case Texxxan.com, you do not do it from your own home. That would expose your IP address. You access it via some open Wi-Fi from Star Bucks, a library, hotel, or even some neighbor who left their Wi-Fi unsecured. Or you can just use TOR.
See this way guys like me do not have to worry about you pulling some stunt like you did with that Google blogger. Even if some random judge forces Google to cough up the info, and even if Google were to comply, it would lead you guys nowhere.
Now to be perfectly honest, I could careless about these girls. All they are is dollar signs to guys like me. Anyone dumb enough to let someone take naked pictures deserves whatever they get. You can stand up and holler about how their ought to be a law against this kind of thing, but the fact is that this is not against the law. Especially not in Texas, in which the right to Free Speech is guaranteed in AFFIRMATIVE terms (Tex. Const. Art. I, sec. 8); thus, providing even more protection than that provided by the US Constitution.
And that is why the request for injunctive relief will fail. You might want to pass that on to attorney, Mr. Morton.
In any event, I would not be surprised to see individual websites soon set up dedicated to each of the girls. Displaying the photographs, any videos, as well as their personal home, work, and family information. I find Marinna to be especially fascinating and worthy of some World Wide Web attention.
All of which leads us back to the original question: So how do you propose to get me into a court room? How do you propose to serve me with a citation??
Best regards,
James Smith

Subject: Re: Texxxan
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email. However, I have absolutely no fear over any photos of any minors, female or male. I am assuming by your statement (claiming 4 photos of girls) that you are implying that there were photos of naked girls on that website. I have no knowledge that this is the case as I am not in possession of any photos such as you describe. But I am assuming that you are saying that there were some (which I do not agree with). However, in order for something like that to happen a person will have to be willing to step forward to ADMIT that they were the one who made the child pornography to begin with! Just because the child pornography was or is self-made does not make it any less child porn. In fact, children all across America have been ARRESTED and PROSECUTED for making self-made child porn. See, e.g., http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/15/self-made-kiddie-porn/?page=all and http://news.cnet.com/Police-blotter-Teens-prosecuted-for-racy-photos/2100-1030_3-6157857.html
In that last case, the one from Florida, the FL Ct of Appeals upheld the convictions of two 16 and 17 yr olds who took pictures of themselves naked and sent them to people! So if one or more of your clients wishes to publicly identify themselves as a child pornographer, then God bless them! And not only did they make child porn, but they also distributed child porn. How bad is that? What kind of person knowingly produces and disseminates child porn???
In any event, I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about any child porn on that website or any other website for that matter. Under the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998, section 227(e), it specifically states: “Nothing in this section may be construed to require a provider of electronic communication services or remote computing services to engage in the monitoring of any user, subscriber, or customer of that provider, or the content of any communication of any such person.” While I do not know, I would assume that a site like Texxxan probably gets 200 or 400 submissions a day. If the person posting the information agrees to the Terms of Service, which I understand has to be done before the post, then what more can any website operator do? AGAIN – I would remind you that I have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about any child porn. But as the law currently stands, a website cannot be held liable for the stupid things that other people do! You want to take pictures of yourself holding a bunch of dope or naked kids and post them online, that’s on you for being a dumb ass.
And as far as that Texxan website is concerned, or any other website for that matter, how are they any more liable than Facebook if some idiot chooses to post naked pictures of under aged people?
I find it interesting that in the lawsuit your attorney fried filed there is absolutely no mention about photos of supposedly under aged persons on this website. Is this something that you are just now making up in order to make your position appear stronger and having the moral high ground?
It is wonderful that GoDaddy is cooperating with you guys. They are just being good corporate citizens. But what good will it do you if the website was bought with a pre-paid credit card and if it was controlled or accessed via somebody else’s internet?? What if all you got is fake information to go on? Someone else’s jacked IP isn’t going to lead you anywhere.
Lastly, I would mention that I have no knowledge at all of any naked photos involving anyone under aged on that website. Specifically to whom are you referring to, what exact pictures? And what proof do you have that the website knew that those specific photos were child porn? Keep in mind, however, that a photo of a naked child does not automatically equal child porn. You know that, right? Do those photos, (assuming that what you say is correct), meet the Dost test? I don’t know because I have never seen anything like you refer to. But I am just asking.
You do not have to be an American to be a firm believer in Freedom of Speech. The country I am living in does not have a 1st Amendment, but it does have something comparable and just as valuable. What websites like Texxxan do is no different than writings on the bathroom wall from our childhood, albeit writ large on a World Wide scale.
Mr. Klein, prior to all of that nonsense I had never heard of you. It was only after the fact that I learned about your internet crusades against various web bloggers. Need I say more?
In closing I would say that it is truly unfortunate that you and your attorney friend are trying to make names for yourselves on the backs of these unfortunate girls. Because of the Streisand Effect, their names will be dragged through the mud forever more.
Cheers —
James Smith

Subject: Re: Texxxan
It is impossible for us to met, assuming I even cared enough to do so, as I am sure CNN has already told you guys. I live in Namibia as an American ex-pat working in the natural gas exploration industry, as CNN has no doubt already explained to your boss, Mr. Morgan, when they tracked me down and asked me to appear on their show. Thus, there is no way for us to met unless you are willing to take an 18 or 20 hr flight on Air Namibia or Lufthansa. Fly Atlanta to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Windhoek. Or you can fly South African Airways non-stop out of JFK. Then its a long drive (!) through the bush to where I live.
The AG’s office is not authorized to accept service of process for a lawsuit, as any attorney can tell you. That would be the Sec. of State, and only in a case involving a foreign corporation (which I am not) or the use of the state’s Long Arm jurisdiction (which would apply here). I am not from Texas and have never set foot in your part of the country in my life.
But in order for service on the SOS to work, you have to give the SOS a VALID address for where I can be served. Not an address that you found out or gathered from the website or stuff like that. It has to be a VALID, current address. Not an old address or an address that I made up. Strict performance with the SOS rules for service are required. Now if they mail it and I refuse to sign for it (or something similar) then that’s on me. I’ve been served. But if they mail it and it does not go to a valid address, that’s on you to rectify.
I am sure that Mr. Morgan has found out, or will shortly find out, service upon the SOS is not considered service upon the defendant until such a point as the SOS has forwarded the paperwork to the defendant. Once that is done, then your attorney friend will have to get a Whitney certificate. However, you will not be able to get such a certificate as you do not have the correct address to give the SOS. Keep in mind that a return labeled “not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward” is prima facie evidence that the address the plaintiff provided to the SOS was incorrect; thus, a defendant has not been served. See GMR Gymnastics Sales, Inc. v. Walz, 117 SW3rd 57, 59 (Tex.App. Ft. Worth 2003, pet. denied). In that case, the trial court will NOT be able to give you a VALID default judgment.
But the sad fact is that I simply cannot ever under any circumstances be served with your lawsuit, unfortunately.
As your boss, Mr. Morgan, is no doubt aware by now, Namibia is not a signatory to The Hague Convention on Civil Process. Thus, you have (1) no means to legally serve me, and (2) no means with which to collect any eventual judgment. I gave up my US citizenship around 15 yrs ago for income tax reasons. I have no property or ties to the US.
Once Upon a Time, about 20 yrs ago, I did graduate law school and got involved in International Law, which lead me to where I am at now overseas. As CNN has no doubt already told you guys, I run eight other sites like this Texxxan.com one as a hobby with the help of my now 25 yr old daughter (who lives here with me). She came upon the idea for something like this 4 yrs ago while at SMU in Dallas due to an experience one of her friends had and it just kinda snow balled from there.
Just to give you a heads up, when the site was established 11 months ago, it was established in violation of GoDaddy’s Terms of Service. We knew that going into this because this isn’t our first rodeo. That is why three other back up URLs are set up at the same time so the server and all of its information can be easily migrated at some point in time. The server lease expires in a couple of weeks, unless it is decided to renew it (assuming GoDaddy hasn’t yanked it away, which its going to do, I have no doubt).
You want to know my side of the case? Well here it is: I DO NOT CARE. I do not know these girls and I could not care less about them or their problems. That is my personal position.
Here is my legal position:
Having read Mr. Morgan’s petition, it is my position that he has no viable cause of action. You lawsuit involves a simply claim involving property rights and my argument is that those photos are the property of the website to whom they were submitted. The boys either took the photos themselves (which would make them the owners of the photos outright) or the girls took the photos and then gave them to the boys (which then also made the boys the owner of the photos). The boys then turned around and decided to give the photos to the website; thus, transferring ownership to the website. To make this understandable let us substitute “a pair of shoes” for “naked pictures.” The girls either gave a pair of shoes to the boys or the boys had their own pair of shoes. In any event, the boys now have a pair of shoes. They then decide to give the shoes to me. Thus, I got the shoes. Do you understand now why your invasion of privacy, et al., claims fail? (Also, here’s a head’s up: Texas does NOT recognize the tort of False Light).
Under your theory of intrusion on seclusion there HAS to be some kind of physical or nonphysical invasion of the plaintiff’s property as intrusion on seclusion is a “quasi-trespass tort”. As explained above, this simply was not the case.
This website has not intruded upon anything. If any intrusion was done, it was done by the now ex-boyfriends.
Because the girl’s either took or allowed to be taken those naked photos which they then gave to the boys, they have a reduced expectation of privacy. Under Texas law, if the plaintiff has a reduced expectation of privacy, the defendant is NOT liable for ANY invasion of privacy whatsoever. See, e.g., Vaughn v. Drennon, 202 SW3d 308, 320 (Tex.App. – Tyler 2006, no pet.) and other similar cases you can Lexis-Nexis yourself.
Under the theory of Public Disclosure of Private Facts, you again fail as Texxxan.com is not a publisher (as that term is commonly defined). Publishers simply serve as the intermediary between the author of the publication and the consumer market.
As your attorney no doubt knows, forum owners and moderators in the United States are protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which states that “[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”
Federal law preempts state law in this regard; thus, your cause of action fails.
As far as the claim of Appropriation of Name or Likeness, do we really need to discuss this? A plaintiff in Texas is required to establish that the name or likeness was appropriated for the value associated with it. There is absolutely no value associated with the names or likenesses of the girls simply because they are not famous people! Nor were their likenesses used in any commercial advertising.
In any event, this cause of action does NOT protect one’s name or likeness per se; instead it protects the VALUE associated with that name or likeness. The girls are not Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. Assuming that there was some kind of commercial use of their likeness or name, the actual value of that would be negligible. But since the girls do not own the photos and the website does, its moot.
It is also my legal position that all necessary proper defendants have not been joined to this lawsuit, and by that I mean the ex-boyfriends. They are responsible Third Parties under the law, pursuant to your Civil Practices & Remedies Code section 33.004.
Texas is a proportional liability state. Are the girls 50% or more responsible for their injuries, or is the website, or how about the ex-boyfriends (or some combination thereof)? What do you think a jury will say?
Okay, well that’s enough of this nonsense. Its nearly 7 am here and I’ve got to get going to work.
The bottom line is that because I am in Namibia you cannot ever get me served with process. Hell, the U.S. cannot even get a criminal extradited from Namibia as there is no extradition treaty. The U.S. Govt has been trying to get Kobi Alexander for like seven years now, and that dude stole $40 – 50 million and was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. So do you think your lawsuit is gonna get served here? Not a chance.
Plus, the CDA provides a website ABSOLUTE immunity for user generated content.
In closing, I want you all to clearly understand that when I read this headline “Women declare war on revenge porn” I laugh. Does that mean young women are going to stop taking naked pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror? Ah, no. Does it mean they’re got to stop letting their “boyfriends” take porno shots of them? Ah, no again. Interesting way to fight a war, ladies.
Those girls are not sluts or whores or anything like that. They just made very poor romantic choices (which EVERYONE of us has done), and they made the mistake of trusting someone that they should not have trusted, by giving them something that they should not have given.
Under the law and the facts of this case, this matter is clearly a YP and not an MP.
Cheers —
James Smith Case
p.s.
I think both you and Morgan are a couple of clowns. Your reputation with the Jefferson County Bar Assn is shit and you two have done far more damage to those girls than a dozen ex-boyfriends could ever do! Making promises to them that you know god damn well you cannot keep is bullshit! As I mentioned before, I’d never even heard of you two until a couple of days ago. What I read about you guys on that Operation Klein Watch website pissed me off and then when I spoke to someone in the pro bono section of the local Bar was ridiculous!
In four years of doing this I have NEVER once given any kind of interviews or statements simply because I could careless and didn’t feel like wasting my time. But I felt like speaking out now because of how you knuckleheads have hurt those girls.

Re: Texxxan
I have absolutely no knowledge of any under aged photos, nor do I believe you.
I absolutely do not believe you when it comes to these under age allegations. My daughter was giving an interview Sunday to some news person in the UK in which she was asked the same thing. She said that she felt that it was untrue simply because when Mr. Morgan was running around spamming (my term) news outlets with your lawsuit, not once did you guys mention anything about any under aged photos. When a person starts a fight in the media, they don’t hold back any punches. So there would have been no reason not to mention this under age allegation as it would have allowed you to quickly capture the moral high ground.
It also was never mentioned in your lawsuit, which is where such a thing would have logically been mentioned. After all, you guys threw in all kinds of other allegations. Why leave something as inflammatory as child porn out of the mix? Please tell me the specific names of these alleged under aged persons and I will see what I can find.

Just so you know, I have no knowledge of nor am I in possession of anything to do with: (2) We further, and for full disclosure, are in possession of 18 emails between parents and management@texxxan.com alerting whomever does your work. (3) We further, and for full disclosure, are in possession of 39 emails regarding money paid to management@texxxan.com for the administrator to take down certain photos – or / and the offer to take them down photos for money. I want you to know that these are being investigated under Chapter 41 of the US Code.
It is my understanding that the Admin passwords for the server / website were very widely spread to many different people, who then shared it with others. It is my belief that this is what caused the site to degenerate into what it ended up as (as a spam forum with a bunch of BS porn & get rich quick ads, etc.), and which also would explain your issue about the photos (assuming that they are of the type you represent them to be).
As far as money for photos, I would suggest that you follow the money trail as I do not know a thing about it. As I am sure you gather from my earlier emails, I just do not care about those girls or their problems. I would not have taken down the photos no matter what. Nor would I have set up a process whereby there would have been a money trail between myself and them just to get a couple of bucks. Not worth the headaches.
And if I had set something like that up, I would have kept my word. Not caring about the predicament they put themselves in is one thing. But stealing / scamming is a whole other matter and not something I would involve myself in.
With regards to any alleged under age photos, I have absolutely ZERO knowledge or possession of anything about that.
I would guess that a person would use a pseudonym simply because they choose to keep their private life private. If someone wants to be a Hunter Moore or a Nik Richie, good for them. Some people enjoy or need the attention, some do not. I don’t need the headaches. Both of them seem to be jerks who go out of their way to hurt people. With regards to the texxxan girls, the only ones who hurt them here was the ones who violated their trust. Facebook, MySpace, Texxxan, etc., owes them no duty whatsoever.
I think all this talk about revenge porn is bullshit and that is the only reason why I have contacted you and anyone else. I think it is stupid to blame a website for something that is your fault and the fault of the person who violated your trust about keeping the naked pictures private. That is the only reason why I have spoken out about this website at all. I do not know a god damn thing about these girls or their problems with that website or any website at all. But I am sick and tired of seeing people like them and people like you and Mr. Morgan going ‘boo hoo, the internets is mean to me and there ought to be a law against this and against that.’
Well there isn’t a law against this and there isn’t a law against that! So get over it and quit bitching!
As far as you alleged under aged pictures are concerned, you do not need any information from me what so ever. Assuming that there really are such pics, this is not a ‘who done it’ crime!! Those girls either made the pictures themselves or they let someone else take them. Thus, the source of the pics is someone whom you already know, Mr. Klein. You don’t need information from a website (assuming such information really exists) to tell you where those pics came from. The girls know. FYI – not every server is set up to keep logs. Some admins set them up specifically to NOT keep IP logs.
I haven’t checked, but I am guessing that you probably have a website set up for your PI business. Do you have it set up whereby it keeps tracks of the IP addresses of its visitors or do you have it set up NOT to keep track?
You want me or someone else to give you the IP address of the person who uploaded those images. But the bottom line is that you know who is responsible for any child porn involving any of your clients. Either the girl herself did it, or she knows the boy who she gave pictures to or the boy who she allowed to take pictures of her.
The list of people responsible for ANY of the images uploaded to that website is only two people long. The girl in the photo, or the boy who took the photo. If the girl self-submitted (which is known to happen), then there you go. If the girl did not self-submit, then she knows who she gave the pictures to, and there you go. Crime solved.

So I am calling your bluff, Mr. Klein. Put up, or STFU. Seriously. I won’t stop.
Oh, and just so you know, I am reposting all the photos of Hollie Toups on every website I can find. Attached are some samples for your enjoyment. I am posting a whole bunch of her pics, plus many of the other Texxxan girls.
Cheers —
James
p.s.
You have to file a mtn to show cause, first, before anyone can be jailed for contempt. Just cuz u file a piece of paper with words on it does not mean that someone goes straight to jail.
Second, you have to prove that I am in violation of a specific written court order. Hint – Since I am not a party to any lawsuit you anti-revenge porn faggots are involved in, I can’t be held in contempt for violation of an order. So you’re full of shit.
And, third, since it is for an action taking place outside of the courtroom, and because your allegations would involve criminal contempt, I am entitled to a lawyer and a trial.
So blow me. Blow me long and blow me hard.
And if you want to try to get me into a Texas courtroom, that clown Morgan really needs to read up on the Hague Convention cuz the ONLY way he’s gonna “get” me is via a letter rogatory since my country ain’t a contracting state, fool! Like I told you retards before: you might have A name, but you do not have THE name.

FYI – someone was kind enough to post a copy of your credit report on pinkmeth, along with your naked pics and a copy of your DL.

Re: Cease Contact
My dear friend,
You obviously know that I am ahead of the game. That is why you play the ‘mommy didn’t love you” card. Just trying to rile me up, old boy. If you know who I am, then why not come and get me? Announce it to the world why don’t you? You can see my IP from my emails, can’t you? So I should be pretty easy to be found.
You two clowns know you are beat. You handed those girls a pig in a poke and made promises you know you darn well couldn’t keep. Or maybe you just didn’t know that at the time, that you were not aware of the legal mine field of First Amendment law you’ve stepped into. But you know it now. You guys just cannot wave your hands around like some kind of Houdini and make it all disappear. those pics are there forever and the people who posted them are immune from liability.
When this first broke, you and Morgan both told me that you were coming after me and that you would find me. Well, its been nearly nine months and I am still waiting for the midnight knock on my door.
When someone starts throwing around lines like “man enough to face me” and “I’ll take you out”, etc. etc., I know that I’ve won. I’ve gotten into your head and fucked with it. See, you are thinking that perhaps you will draw me out into some kind of High Noon showdown. But I know what you look like, Mr. Klein, and you’re no Gary Cooper.
It was obviously this kind of machismo-type thinking that made you taunt me and challenge me into coming after you. Those might be your rules for fighting, but they are not mine. I am more of an “nondescript middle aged-white guy with average height and features standing behind you in line at the 7/11 who pulls out a small .22 subsconic rim fire and pops you in the back of your head while the clerk is distracted by a spillt soda” kinda guy. That’s me. I’m the kind of guy who sits outside a house with a rifle waiting in the shadows. You might think you’re all that, but then again, so did those two DA’s in Kaufman County.
Your home is a matter of public record and you are an easy man to find. The same for your family. So why, in this day & age, would you throw out such a challenge not knowing what kind of person you are dealing with on the under end? One does not have to be physically imposing or powerful in order to hide and pull a trigger.
In any event, that is neither here nor there. I’m not coming back to the U.S. and you can’t make me. Just like you can’t make me stop posting revenge porn and those girls’ pictures and videos and credit reports and personal information.
Cheers —
James

Your move, tough guy.
