He can try to hair split and say that he was not actually lying, but the Duke certainly knew that he was decieving her and he knew that he was taking advantage of her lack of knowledge about sex which he was also perfectly well aware of. <br />I think the Duke should get over his whole I took a Vow to Spite My Father and just tell himself I refuse to let my dead unlamented father make me miserable for the rest of my life and get over the vow thing. I think that is really stupid, his father's opinions don't matter any more.<br /><br />Anyway I am on her side as she should not be denied the chance to have kids, not every woman get blessed that way even if they do have sex in such a way as to hopefully get pregnant. Also who is to say that she could have more than one child when she might want more than one, lots of women would like to have more than one if they could.Dldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297629210252088058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217074073557732596.post-31044013522964550002021-01-01T15:53:33.730-05:002021-01-01T15:53:33.730-05:00awww thank you so much! <3 <3 <3awww thank you so much! <3 <3 <3 Goldeniangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929993797333679857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217074073557732596.post-88459184991825260182021-01-01T13:37:09.788-05:002021-01-01T13:37:09.788-05:00I'm very excited to get caught up on your back...I'm very excited to get caught up on your backlist this year and knocking down my vast library of GA and SA stuff from TBR to READ!

I know a lot of readers who buy after they read the blurb, but I know more that scope out awesome covers then will read those blurbs and will buy the book if they love both! Either way this cover brought me to this series and a new author to me that I am loving... so I am beyond ecstatic!

I think it's important to have these kinds of comments and back and forths after the original post, because I AM biased and I know it, no matter how hard I tried to keep that out of the initial post. It helps paint a clearer picture for anyone reading through this to have what I've written be challenged and me have to answer it. <br /><br />I feel like there's a lot of people shouting into the air at this point instead of talking about it and so it's nice to be able to actually have an interaction where we have different viewpoints on the situation but can have an actual discussion about it. So yeah. Just wanted to say thanks.

Considering everything else opposing counsel jumped on during the proceedings, something as egregious as perjury - which would drastically help Ellis' case - somehow never came up?<br /><br />I am not an attorney but here's my take on it -<br /><br />The statement Addison signed is that she did not take the actions against Ellis herself (aka direct action), including the drafting or sending of the DMCAs - that's pulled directly from the video ALAB did so I know they shared that part and that's where she's saying Addison perjured herself, yes? That's my understanding, if there's something else you're referring to, let me know. <br /><br />Here's the thing, it distinctly says she did not take DIRECT action. However, she DID take indirect action by telling Blushing to file them for her. Which is exactly how it SHOULD be. I know ALAB is making a big deal about Addison and Blushing agreeing that Blushing should cover for her, but that's EXACTLY what publishing houses are for. They are supposed to protect their authors. They are supposed to allow the authors to NOT get their hands dirty in cases like this. That's the whole POINT of having a publishing house. It's one of those cases where it kinda sucks to be an indie author because we're ENTIRELY on our own - <br /><br />Something which Zoey knew or she wouldn't have made HER facebook post sound like her publisher made decisions for her even though she was self-published at the time. <br /><br />So, to my best knowledge, that's why Addison didn't commit perjury, but again, I'm not a lawyer. I could be wrong. In which case... why hasn't Addison had perjury charges filed against her? <br /><br />Just because it shows up in someone's opinion in a youtube video doesn't make it true any more than the opinion based stuff I write here makes it true.Goldeniangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929993797333679857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217074073557732596.post-22775958282033639962020-09-06T12:26:41.948-04:002020-09-06T12:26:41.948-04:00Especially considering that many unredacted court ...Especially considering that many unredacted court documents had already made their way onto the website run by Zoey's lawyer and shared by Zoey on Facebook... all I can say is thank goodness the judge sealed those documents. While I would like to think she would not have shared them on a website which included Addison's real name, it is hard for me not to worry that WOULDN'T have been the case. <br /><br />How Addison chooses to share pictures of her family - how ANY author chooses to do so - where it is completely unconnected to her real name is VERY different from someone else doing so when they had NO reason to, did NOT have her permission, and had already violated her safety by sharing her real name. <br /><br />Kids should be off limits and I can't even believe I have to SAY that.

Neither did the judge - "If people, though, are trying to use the discovery process or litigation in order to disseminate information over the Internet for the purpose of harassing or abusing or, you know, doing things that apparently are frequently done in other contexts, I can tell you that, at least, you know, this Judge will make a very, very big deal of that and that sanctions are within the power of the Court, and the Court will not hesitate to impose them if it concludes that the courts have been manipulated in inappropriate ways.” Case No. 1:19-cv-476-LO-MSN, TRANSCRIPT OF MOTION HEARING PROCEEDINGS, 05/01/20"<br />Goldeniangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929993797333679857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217074073557732596.post-47771774546574441262020-09-06T12:22:01.731-04:002020-09-06T12:22:01.731-04:00So Ellis' lawyer is tied to the website which ...So Ellis' lawyer is tied to the website which shared the UNREDACTED court documents. Those documents could, and should, have been redacted prior to being put online. Not only that, but the day after the website was created, Zoey made a Facebook post telling everyone about the case AND linking the website, encouraging people to check it out. <br /><br />Later, as I said, that website was changed to put Addison's real name ON the main page of the website (as I show in a screenshot) and not just in the court documents. <br /><br />So yes, I feel that Zoey absolutely doxxed Addison.

Whether or not that's enough to win a court case, I am not sure, but the case against Addison was dismissed WITH prejudice, which means that Ellis can't bring it back. I know you think the fact that she filed for insolvency is significant, but I find the fact that hte judge decided she should NOT be allowed to sue again in the future to be just as, if not more significant. <br /><br />As for the doxxing - while Addison's real name WAS revealed in court documents, people would have had to KNOW there was a court case going on to be able to go look it up until Ellis' lawyer created that website about the case. Up until that point, no one outside of Zoey, Addison, Blushing, and their lawyers even knew everything was going on.

Thanks!
So, the NYT article takes liberties ...Hi! Thanks! <br /><br />So, the NYT article takes liberties with Addison's reactions to things for the start. There is no indication that as she "learned about" Crave to Conquer that she became enraged - that is not only pure speculation on the part of the journalist, it's also something we can actually LOOK at and see that <br /><br />1. Addison never spoke about Zoey's or her books on facebook or in her private group prior to the lawsuit<br />2. Addison allowed multiple posts recommending Crave to Conquer in her group<br />3. Addison didn't just "become aware" of another omegaverse book, she was contacted by MULTIPLE readers who said they felt Ellis' book had overstepped the line<br />4. Her own publishing house contacted her about the reports THEY were getting from readers and said that they felt Ellis' book overstepped the line. <br /><br />All of this is provable and documents IN the court documents. Yet the journalist makes it sound as though Addison heard about a "rival" omegaverse author and became enraged. <br /><br />The journalist then describes the many tropes, of which MANY omegaverse books have and acts as though THEY are the trigger for the DMCAs even though (as I've explicity shown in my blog) there are plot progression similarties between Cain and Ellis' books that are just NOT there in toher books using those same tropes.Goldeniangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929993797333679857noreply@blogger.com
