Opposition To ECF40 - Redacted

William John Joseph Hoge,
Plaintiff,

v.

William M. Schmalfeldt,
Defendant.

PLAINTIFFS OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS MOTION FOR
SUMMARYJUDGMENT (ECF NO. 40)

COMES NOW Counterclaim Defendant William John Joseph Hoge with this
memorandum in opposition to Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No.40).
The motion is premature and should be denied without prejudice. In support of his
opposition Mr. Hoge states as follows:

MATERIAL FACTS ARE DISPUTED

Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment (MSJ) lists a few undisputed facts as
if they were the totality of the evidence bearing on the instant lawsuit. That is not so. Mr.
Hoge offers the following list as a non-exhaustive summary of material facts he believes
are still in dispute. In Defendants Amended Answer and Second Amended Counterclaim
(ECF No. 39) he denies the following material facts alleged by Mr. Hoge in his Amended
1

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
NORTHERN DIVISION

Case No. ELH-14-CV-1683
Complaint (AC) (ECF No. 9) and supported either by evidence developed during the 26
July, 2014, hearing for a preliminary injunction (Hearing) or the Declaration attached as
Exhibit C (Declaration):
a.) Defendant denies that Mr. Hoge screens comments to his site for editorial
suitability. ECF No. 39, 10. He denies that Mr. Hoge deletes obscene or grossly
off-topic comments. Id. Records retained by Mr. Hoge clearly demonstrate that he
has exercised such editorial control over his website. See Exhibit C, Declaration,
1
b.) Defendant says he does not know if Mr. Hoge bought the world book and
ebook rights from Paul Krendler for the work in question. ECF No. 39, 11
and 28. The transaction documents exist. See Declaration, 2.
c.) Defendant denies publishing My Slow, Journalistic Death as an ebook on
or about 18 April, 2014. ECF No. 39, 19. He denies that Chapter 13 of that
ebook reproduces a 14 April, 2014, website entry from Mr. Hoges blog in toto. Id.
He denies that the ebook was offered for sale and that copies were sold. Id. This
is contradicted by his in court statement. A printed copy of the ebook (which the
Court examined at length) was offered in evidence during the Hearing as
Plaintiffs Exhibit 3. During the Hearing, Defendant authenticated that exhibit as
an accurate copy of the ebook he published. The Hearing Exhibit 3 is attached to
this memorandum as Exhibit D. The original Hogewash! article copied is shown
2
in Exhibit E. Defendant also denies that any copies of My Slow, Journalistic
Death were sold. ECF No. 39, 19. Mr. Hoge has a receipt for the sale of a copy.
See Declaration, 3.
d.) Defendant denies that his use of Mr. Hoges copyrighted material in My
Slow, Journalistic Death was infringing. ECF No. 39, 20. As can be seen in
Exhibit D, Defendants use was clearly contrary to the Hogewash! Terms and
Conditions as posted at the time of the infringement (See ECF No. 25, at 4, 5)
because he did not meet the specified condition with respect to providing a link to
hogewash.com. See Declaration, 10.
e.) Defendant denies that his use of Mr. Hoges copyrighted material in My
Slow, Journalistic Death was without authorization from Mr. Hoge or the law. He
denies that his infringement was knowing and willful. ECF No. 39, 21. As can
be seen in Exhibit D, Defendants use was clearly contrary to the Hogewash!
Terms and Conditions as posted at the time of the infringement because he did not
meet the specified condition with respect to providing a link to hogewash.com.
See Declaration, 10.
g.) Defendant denies that his use of Mr. Hoges copyrighted material in
Brain Dead was without authorization from Mr. Hoge or the law. He denies that
his infringement was knowing and willful. ECF No. 39, 25. Defendants use
was clearly contrary to the Hogewash! Terms and Conditions as posted at the time
3
of the infringement because he did not meet the specified condition with respect to
providing a link to hogewash.com. See Declaration, 10.
1
h.) Defendant denies that his use of Mr. Hoges material for which Mr. Hoge
owns the world book and ebook rights in Intentional Infliction was without
authorization from Mr. Hoge or the law. He denies that his infringement was
knowing and willful. ECF No. 39, 29. When evaluating his denial, the Court
should consider Defendants own words from Intentional Infliction: I doubt he
[Krendler] will sue me for copyright, since he would have to review [sic] his
actual name. Id., at 2. See Exhibit A. Defendants expectation that he would be
sued but for the authors expressed desire to maintain his anonymity is a clear
indication of Defendants intent.
i.) Defendant denies that he infringed the copyrighted works cited in Counts
V through XXXVII by incorporating them into blog posts or Twitter messages.
ECF No. 39, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38. During the Hearing, Defendant
admitted that he did not provide the required links to hogewash.com in either his
blog posts or this tweets. Thus, Defendants use was clearly contrary to the
Hogewash! Terms and Conditions as posted at the time of the infringement
4
On almost all printed material, it is practicable to show the website address
1
hogewash.com. Even a matchbook cover would provide sufficient space. Certainly, the
space was available in a 286-page book such as Brain Dead. In fact, he did provide such a
link to Paul Krendlers article in Intentional Inflictionalthough linking is not at issue
with respect to that infringement.
because he did not meet the specified condition with respect to providing a link to
hogewash.com. See Declaration, 10.
Defendant alleges other facts which Mr. Hoge disputes or which are immaterial to
the instant lawsuit.
j.) In an attempt to invalidate Mr. Hoges copyright registrations, Defendant
alleges that Mr. Hoge has attempted to register copyrights for works in the public
domain. He has focused especially on public domain content originally produced
by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). See , e.g., ECF
No. 35. Mr. Hoge denies attempting to register a copyright for any public domain
works, particularly any work product from NASA. See Declaration , 4-9, and
infra at pages 9-11.
k.) In an attempt to invalidate Mr. Hoges copyright registrations, Defendant
offers conclusory allegations that Mr. Hoge has engaged in copyright misuse by
attempting to register copyrights for works he did not create, acquire as work-for-
hire, or purchase. MSJ, 9 at 5. Mr. Hoge denies attempting to register
copyrights for any works he does not lawfully own. See infra at pages 8 and 9.
l.) Defendant alleges that Mr. Hoge comes to this Court with unclean hands
because he has done the exact same thing, as Mr. Hoge alleges Defendant has
done. MSJ, 6 at 3, 4. Mr. Hoge alleges that Defendant has copied all or
substantially all of various postings from the Hogewash! website. AC, passim.
5
Mr. Hoge denies such extensive coping from any of Defendants websites, and
Defendant has not presented any evidence of such wholesale coping. In any event,
consideration of such an equitable consideration is irrelevant to a question of law.
m.) Defendant alleges that Mr. Hoges applications for registration are
defective on multiple grounds. MSJ, 10-13 at 5-7. Mr. Hoge denies each
alleged defect. See infra at pages at pages 7 and 8.
n.) Defendant alleges that his use of Mr. Hoges material meets the
requirements of the Hogewash! Terms and Conditions. Mr. Hoge disputes that
allegation, noting that links back to hogewash.com have not been provide where
practicable. See Declaration, 10.
2
Given that these facts, material and immaterial, are still disputed and that neither
side has been able to have discovery, the MSJ is premature and should be denied without
prejudice. Alternatively, Mr. Hoge should be allowed sufficient time to conduct discovery
so as to fully develop a cross motion and supporting memorandum and to allow for the
possibility of settlement via ADR.

6
Blacks Law Dictionary 1172 (6th ed. 1990) defines practicable as Practicable is that
2
which may be done, practiced, or accomplished; that which is performable, feasible,
possible[.] The inclusion of a hyperlink within a website or a Twitter message is
imminently practicable. See Declaration, 10.
DEFENDANT MISAPPLIES THE LAW TO SOME OF THE UNDISPUTED FACTS

Mr. Hoge did, in fact, file his Original Complaint (OC) prior to filing the
appropriate applications for registration with the Copyright Office. As Defendant notes,
those registrations were filed on 5 June, 2014, and (Defendant missed this one) on 7 June,
2014. Having corrected his oversight, Mr. Hoge filed his AC on 10 June, 2014. Defendant
argues in his MSJ that Mr. Hoges initial oversight was a fatal error that could not be
repaired with the AC. Defendant is wrong.
As a general rule, an amended complaint ordinarily supersedes the original and
renders it of no legal effect. Young v. City of Mt. Ranier, 238 F.3d 567, 572 (4th Cir.
2001), quoting Crysen/Montenay Energy Co. v. Shell Oil Co. (In re Crysen/Montenay
Energy Co.), 226 F.3d 160, 162 (2nd Cir. 2000). Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) allows a party to
amend his pleading once as a matter of course within 21 days of serving it. Mr. Hoges OC
was served on 27 May, 2014, and the AC was filed on 10 June, an elapsed time of 13 days.
That is well within the 21-day limit provided by the Rule, so the AC would [replace] the
original complaint lock, stock, and barrel. ConnectU LLC v. Zuckerberg, 522 F.3d 82, 91
(1st Cir. 2008). Also, the Committee Notes on Rules2009 Revision of Rule 15 explain
that
the right to amend once as a matter of course is no longer terminated by
service of a responsive pleading. The responsive pleading may point out
issues that the original pleader had not considered and persuade the
pleader that amendment is wise.
7

Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, Notes. Therefore, any arguments Defendant raises about alleged
defects in the OC are mooted because of its replacement by the AC. Such a non-germane
issue is not grounds for summary judgment.
Additionally, the Court should note that Defendant no longer asserts that
applications for registration of the copyrights were not filed. His statement that the
Copyright Office shows a receipt for the transactions on 5 June, 2014, amounts to a
judicial admission of the filings. See MSJ, 2 at 2.
The precedent in this Court allows for a copyright lawsuit to proceed while
registration is pending. See Patrick Collins, Inc. v. Does 1-22, 11-CV-01772-AW ECF No.
18 (D.Md. 2011) at 3, 4. The MSJ should be denied.

DEFENDANT MISUNDERSTANDS COPYRIGHT MISUSE

Defendants argument for invalidating Mr. Hoges copyright registrations seems to
conflate copyright misuse with copyright fraud. Copyright misuse is analogous to patent
misuse wherein an intellectual property owner uses his monopoly power as leverage to
extend his rights beyond what is lawful. The classic example of patent misuse is the
Morton Salt case. Morton had a patent on a novel salt tablet dispenser. The company
3
would only license it for use with their own salt tablets. However, the tablets were not
8
FTC v. Morton Salt Co., 334 U.S. 68 (1948).
3
covered by the same or any other patent. Morton was using its license to unfairly prevent
other companies tablets from being used in its dispenser.
The best known case of copyright misuse is probably Lasercomb America, Inc. v.
Reynolds, 911 F.2d 970 (4th Cir. 1990). In that case the Court of Appeals found that
copyright misuse occurs when a copyright holder uses his rights in a manner that subverts
public policy. Id., at 976-977. The plaintiff in Lasercomb was found to be using its
software copyrights to require licensees to enter into a non-competition agreement that
lasted for 99 years, longer than the term of the plaintiffs copyrights.
Mr. Hoge has not engaged in any activity with respect to his copyrights beyond
attempting to secure for a limited time the exclusive right to his writings. He has not
4
done anything to enlarge his rights beyond what is granted by law. Nothing in this faulty
theory of copyright misuse suggested by Defendant supports his MSJ. His motion should
be denied.

MR. HOGE HAS NOT TRIED TO REGISTER COPYRIGHTS FOR ANY PUBLIC DOMAIN
MATERIAL OR THE WORKS OF OTHERS

Defendant tries to assert that because public domain material (such as NASA
images) or comments belonging to others are included in Mr. Hoges website, he has
committed copyright fraud. MSJ, 9 at 5. That is not the case. Under Defendants
9
See U.S. Const. art. I, 8, cl. 8.
4
theory of the law, the New York Times committed copyright fraud when it applied for
registration of the 21 July, 1969, MEN WALK ON MOON edition of the newspaper shown
in Exhibit B. The pictures of the Apollo 11 crew on the moon are public domain NASA
images. Is the copyright for that issue of the Times therefore fraudulent?
The answer is: Obviously not! It is possible to include public domain material
within a copyrighted work. This allows, for example, movies of Richard III or A
Midsummer Nights Dream to be copyrighted. The copyright does not extend to rights over
the public domain material but only to the originality of its use and manner of use within
the copyrighted work. As the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals noted in M. Kramer Mfg.
Co., Inc. v. Andrews, 783 F.2d 421 (4th Cir. 1986):
As the Court said in Apple Barrel Productions, 730 F.2d at 387-88,
copyrightability of a compilation or derivative work does not turn on
whether the component parts of the collective work are original or in the
public domain. Section 103 of the Act makes this plain. It declares that
the validity of a copyright of a compilation or derivative work depends on
the originality of the compiler's individual contribution to the work or
material regardless of whether the individual items in the material have
been or ever could have been subject to copyright. It follows that the
validity of plaintiff's copyright does not depend on the copyrightability of
the components represented by the underlying work but by the originality
of its own contribution to the copyrighted work.
Id., 440. Mr. Hoges inclusion of public domain material in his copyrighted website is no
more fraudulent than a television stations use of an image from a government weather
satellite during the evening newscast weather segment.
10
Similarly, collections of works by multiple authors are compilations covered under
201(c). That section specifies a default ownership arrangement when there is no other
written agreement. However, the Hogewash! Terms of Service provide a written
agreement which licenses Mr. Hoges use of the comments posted to his blog. Mr. Hoge, as
a licensee of the comments, holds the copyright to the compilation. He does not claim
rights to the individual comments per se.
5
In Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 US 340, 360 (1991),
Justice OConnor wrote that even a compilation of mere facts (which would be ineligible
for copyright protection on their own) can be protected to the extent that it features an
original selection, coordination, or arrangement[.] As noted supra at page 2 (Item a.),
because Mr. Hoge exercises editorial control of the comment section of his website, even to
the extent of occasionally editing comments, Hogewash! with all its comments and public
domain inclusions is eligible for copyright protection. That being the case, there is nothing
here to support the MSJ, so it should be denied.

11
Mr. Hoges uses the copyright works of his commenters under license. Defendant assert
5
that he has a Fair Use right to use the work of others without permission. While that may
be true in some cases, the facts in the instant lawsuit are different. Defendant
misappropriates whole works. Suppose William Randolph Hearst had been sufficiently
angered by Citizen Kane that he decided to create a rebuttal film and that he did so by
taking the original movie and adding brief commentaries at the beginning and end.
Suppose he released his version to theaters and charged admission. Fair Use would not
have saved him from the resulting lawsuit from Orson Welles and RKO Pictures. That is
exactly analogous to what Defendant has done with articles from Hogewash!.
DEFENDANTS MOTION VIOLATES LOCAL RULE 105.2(c)

In his Motion for Summary Judgment (MSJ) Defendant ably articulates the
standard for summary judgment. This is not surprising considering who wrote the words
he used. In a motion fraught with complaints about Plaintiffs alleged misuse of the work
of others, Defendant has incorporated an extended quotation of the work of Judge Garbis
without attribution. Of course, legal briefs often recycle the excellent arguments of
6
others, but Defendant uses Judge Garbiss opinion ineptly. Judge Garbis writes of the
7
how a court should weigh the opposing assertion made in cross motions. There is no cross
motion filed in the instant lawsuit because Defendant failed to follow Local Rule 105.2(c).
That rule requires that if both parties plan to file for summary judgment they should
coordinate with one another as to who will file the first motion and who will file the cross
motion. Mr. Hoge will probably make such a filing after discovery if ADR should fail to
bring a settlement. However, there has been no such coordination. Therefore,
12
Beginning with the words A motion for summary judgment shall be granted (MSJ at
6
1) and continuing through the words See Rossignol v. Voorhaar, 316 F.3d 516, 523 (4th
Cir. 2003) (MSJ at 2), Defendant presents Judge Garbiss analysis as his own. A proper
citation would be U.S. v. Shriner, Case No. 11-CV-02929, ECF No. 62 (D.Md. 2014) at 2, 3.
Defendant includes a rather erudite discussion of copyright misuse in paragraph 6 of his
7
MSJ (at 4). It is ripped off word-for-word from John Baker McClanahan, Copyright Misuse
As A Defense In An Infringement Action: Lasercomb America, Inc. V. Reynolds, 49 Wash. &
Lee L. Rev. 213 (1992), http://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/wlulr/vol49/iss1/14, at 213,
214, with footnotes 2-14 inserted parenthetically, and it is used without attribution to
either Mr. McClanahan or the Washington & Lee Law Review.
Defendants MSJ should denied without prejudice in order to allow for the coordination
between the parties contemplated by Local Rule 105.2(c).

CONCLUSION

WHEREFORE, Mr. Hoge asks this Honorable Court to deny without prejudice
Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment, allowing the ADR process to go forward, and
to permit discovery to occur along with coordination of a proper motion for summary
judgment and cross motion pursuant to Local Rule 105.2(c). Alternatively, Mr. Hoge asks
the Court to grant him adequate time to conduct discovery and to allow 60 days for the
preparation of a cross motion, and he requests an evidentiary hearing.

man who needs assistance to walk, who hurt his right arm
this morning trying to lift himself from his office chair,
this very dangerous, nearly immobile, profoundly
handicapped man in his 15
th
year with Parkinsons
disease, dared to write about him.
My friends who are concerned about me have asked me
to remain quiet about the bullying on Twitter while they
try to form some plan of action. I have honored this
request. I have been nothing but friendly and pleasant on
Twitter. That very fact is a subject of mockery by the
people who comment on the Hogewash.com blog. The
people who are knowingly using my Parkinsons disease
to cause my early death or total disability. When Im
quiet, when I dont provide grist for their mill, it makes
them angry.
As you will see, the main antagonist in this story has a
restraining order against me. Today, on his blog, he is
alleging that I have contacted him in direct violation of
the order. I have not. But he has proof!
And, as I sit here, being quiet, being nice, being friendly,
being GOOD, I see that one of these cretins, a familiar at
the Hogewash.com blog who calls himself Paul Krendler
after the Hannibal character in the Silence of the
Lamb sequel, has penned a witty satire about me.
You can see it for yourself here. I doubt he will try to
sue me for copyright, since he would have to review his
actual name.
The blog can be read here.

William John Joseph Hoge,
Plaintiff,

v.

William M. Schmalfeldt,
Defendant.

DECLARATION OF WILLIAM JOHN JOSEPH HOGE

I, William John Joseph Hoge, declare under penalty of perjury in accordance with
28 U.S.C. 1746 that the following is true and correct to best of my knowledge and belief
and that the attached exhibits are true and correct copies of the originals.
1. I am the proprietor of the website known as Hogewash! (hogewash.com), and I
exercise editorial control over its content. As a part of that editorial control, I endeavor to
review all comments made to the site. It is my policy to allow free discussion of topics of
interest to the commenters within broad limits. I delete obscene and grossly off-topic
comments as well as commercial spam. Some comments are redacted to bring them
within my editorial standards. Repeat offender are banned from the site. Threats are
reported to an appropriate state or federal law enforcement agency. Exhibit 1
shows one example each of a deleted comment, a comment that was never allowed through
moderation, and a redacted comment. Note that identifying information for first and third
has been redacted. This is because Defendant has a history of harassment, and I am
1

NORTHERN DIVISION

Case No. ELH-14-CV-1683
concerned that he would engage in harassment against those commenters if he knew their
identities. Some of his milder harassment is detailed below (paragraphs 4 through 9).
Previous online harassment by Defendant resulting in a peace order being issued against
him. Exhibit 2. The order was extended because of continued harassment. Exhibit 3. On
information and belief Defendant is also subject to restraining orders issued in Arizona
because of online harassment.
2. On 30 April, 2014, I bought the world book and ebook right to the article
originally posted on the Internet at http://thinkingmanszombie.wordpress.com/ 2014/04/23/
we-can-write-whatever-we-want-right/. A written agreement between Paul Krendler, the
original author, and me memorializes the sale. The agreement will be produced as
required during discovery or any hearing or trial. The original email arranging the
transaction is attached as Exhibit 4. Note that some of Krendlers identifying
information has been redacted in the exhibit because of Krendlers concern for
harassment by Defendant.
3. In spite of his denial (ECF No. 39, 19), documentary evidence shows that
William M. Schmalfeldt (Defendant) did publish the ebook My Slow, Journalistic Death
on or about 18 April, 2014. A printed copy of that ebook was introduced into evidence
during the 26 June, 2014, hearing, and it was authenticated on the hearing record by
Defendant. Defendant denies that any copies were sold. A sales receipt for a purchase of
2
a copy of the ebook is attached. Exhibit 5. I am prepared to present similar evidence for
the remaining 35 counts of my Amended Complaint at an evidentiary hearing or at trial.
4. At or around 10:00 pm on 18 June, 2014, I saw a Twitter message (tweet) in
Defendants @wmsradionetwork twitter account that contained the following:
WMS Radio Network
Have fun tomorrow at the GOES-R at the Goddard Spaceflight Center. Do
they know about your hobby of suing people.
9:02 pm 18 Jun 2014

Exhibit 6. Given Defendants history of harassing his perceived enemies by contacting
their employers, I interpreted the tweet as a threat to begin calling the Project Office of
the GOES-R program I work with at Goddard Space Flight Center. As soon as I became
aware of the tweet, I reported the threat to my immediate supervisor on the program and,
at his direction, to the Security Office at Goddard. The Security Office referred the matter
to the NASA Office of Inspector General. The next day, I was asked by Special Agent John
Han of the NASA OIG to report any further NASA-related contact from Defendant.
5. On or about 7 July, 2014, I read a post on Defendants website
(www.schmalfeldt.org/2014/07/wjj-hoge-faces-big-time-federal-beef-of-his-own-making/
index.html) in which he claimed that I had tried to register copyrights to public domain
NASA images and videos because they were included in my postings on Hogewash!.
Exhibit 7. Defendants blog post contains the text of a letter he claimed to have sent to
MEI Technology, my previous employer.
3
6. On or about 7 July, 2014, I received from Defendant a comment to Hogewash!
which threatened to accuse me of the crime of copyright fraud related to the NASA images
and videos if I did not provide him Paul Krendlers personal information.
You have claimed copyright of every post of every page of every blog entry
for March, April and May, including 70 NASA posts. Now, I don't know if
the $2,500 will cover all sins, or if it's $2,500 per instance. That would be
something like $175,000. Now I offered to walk away from this,
remember? I said, you walk away, I walk away, no harm no foul. But you
couldn't have that. You had to continue to try to destroy me. And now the
chickens have come home to roost. Now, you can make it easy or you can
make it harder and more expensive. I want to know who Paul Krendler is
(BTW, a copy of this comment will become a part of the record, whether or
not you publish it.) I want his address. I want to see a copy of the
agreement you signed with Krendler to purchase his filthy blog entry.

Exhibit 8. I reported this threat to the NASA OIG as directed. The OIG directed me to
contact local law enforcement as well.
7. On 9 July, 2014, I read tweets on Defendants @wmsbroadcasting Twitter
account in which he claimed that he had contacted NASA concerning my use of the 70
NASA images and videos.

the phone numbers yourselves.

WMS Radio Network Jul 9
And I did not talk to a receptionist, [expletive]. I talked to the photo editor
for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

4
Exhibit 9. On information and belief, he alleged that I was using agency produced images
and videos illegally. On information and belief NASA does not take Defendants
accusations seriously.
8. On or about 14 July, 2014, Defendant filed a DMCA takedown notice against
Hogewash!. Defendants notice, as forwarded to me by my web hosting provider (Exhibit
10), shows that Defendant claimed to be either the copyright owner or authorized agent
for 70 public domain images and videos that were NASA work product. 25 of the videos
were actually hosted at NASA channels at YouTube, but my web host disabled access to
the remaining 45 images and videos, causing disruption of my website. The material was
mostly restored later that day after Defendant admitted not having proper standing to file
a DMCA notice related to the NASA material. Exhibit 11. However, some videos were
lost and had to be uploaded again.
9. Defendant has communicated his bizarre theory related to my use of NASA
material to the Court in a document docketed as ECF No. 35.
10. I have never authorized Defendants use of my copyrighted material under any
terms other than those shown in Hogewash! Terms of Service. During March through
May, 2014, those Terms required that use of Hogewash! material required a hyperlink
back to the site whenever practicable. See ECF No. 25, at 4, 5. I carefully chose the word
practicable when drafting those Terms, using it in the sense defined in multiple

WJJ Hoge Faces Big Time Federal Beef of His Own Making

HOME / THE LAWSUIT / WJJ HOGE FACES BIG TIME FEDERAL BEEF OF HIS OWN MAKING
WJJ Hoge Faces Big Time
Federal Beef of His Own Making
July 7, 2014
Earlier today I was going back and forth with one lickspittle in particular, the dullest, rustiest nail in the Hoge hardware cabinet. And I saw a
particularly ass-kissy remark about a NASA thing he had published. So, I fixed it for him.
But then I started thinking. I remember seeing somewhere that hes supposed to post an actual link, and a full photo credit to his NASA
plagiarisms. When I looked at the NASA media page, I saw this.
Enter keyworks SEARCH
BREAKING NEWS July 7, 2014 - WJJ Hoge Faces Big Time Federal Beef of His Own Making
Now, theres unlawful, and theres UNLAWFUL. So I checked copyright law and found this little gem.
Now, according to 17 USC 506(c) Any person who, with fraudulent intent, places on any article a notice of copyright or words of the same
purport that such person knows to be false, or who, with fraudulent intent, publicly distributes or imports for public distribution any article
bearing such notice or words that such person knows to be false, shall be fined not more than $2,500. I am not sure if that is in total or for
each occurrence, but it is absolutely clear that this individual is claiming copyright ownership of NASA produced material as a contractor with
the Goddard Space Agency. If its one fine covers all sins, then the most hes looking at is $2,500. If its for all 70 of the NASA posts he has
copyrighted with the US Copyright Office? $175,000.
So, I wrote an e-mail to one of the public relations folks at NASA. I wrote essentially the same e-mail to Goddard and MEI, the company he
lists as the last contractor he worked for.
Dear Ms. Mire:
I note with interest that the NASA website claims:
It is unlawful to falsely claim copyright or other rights in NASA material.
A subcontractor at the Goddard Space Center working for MEI Tech, William John Joseph Hoge III publishes a
blog called Hogewash. He claims copyright ownership of the entire blog. In fact, he is suing this correspondent
in US District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern District, for what I believe is fair use of snippets
of material from his blog. In order to make himself eligible for financial damages, Mr. Hoge has filed copyright
applications for every blog post for the months of March, April and May, 2014. As a result, even though he
gives NASA an unlinked image credit (while sometimes plagiarizing the text), his act of claiming copyright of
every blog entry, including images, seems to violate your policy of falsely claiming copyright in NASA
material.
These are the URLs where Mr. Hoge claims copyright of NASA images and text.

These 70 different URLs show NASA images with an unlinked NASA photo credit and NASA text. Mr. Hoge has
explicitly filed for copyright for EVERY PAGE and EVERY POST of EVERY BLOG ENTRY for March, April and
May 2014, so it would seem that he is also claiming copyright to these posts, since his application does not
exclude these posts from his Copyright Request.

Now, according to 17 USC 506(c) Any person who, with fraudulent intent, places on any article a notice of

Mr. Hoge has lied to a Federal Judge by telling her he had the right to copyright everything on his blog. I have reported him to NASA,
Goddard and MEI. If he is no longer at MEI, they will know who to forward the information to. Tomorrow, I will contact the FBI and ask them to

consider prosecuting Mr. Hoge for violation of 17 USC 506(c). Dont take my word for it. Here is the statute.
(c) Fraudulent Copyright Notice. Any person who, with fraudulent intent, places on any article a notice
of copyright or words of the same purport that such person knows to be false, or who, with fraudulent intent,
publicly distributes or imports for public distribution any article bearing such notice or words that such
person knows to be false, shall be fined not more than $2,500.
By filing his suit against me, Mr. Hoge has stepped into a great big pile of uh oh. If he hadnt filed the suit, he would not have filed the stupid
preliminary injunction, if he hadnt filed the improper forms for his copyright applications, if he hadnt purchased the Krendler garbage and
shut down my book, he would be free to continue harassing me.
Now, I am going to shut him down, lock, stock and barrel. He has victimized me long enough, and it is over RIGHT NOW!
Hoge, I dont even want to settle with you anymore. I want you to prove that you purchased the document from Krendler. I want you to tell me
Krendlers name and address, and we will go forward with my countersuit. And bring the checkbook. You have a year and a half of hell to pay
for.

8 July, 2014, Attempt to Comment at Hogewash! by Defendant

From: WordPress donotreply@wordpress.com
Subject: [hogewash] Please moderate: "Yours Truly, Johnny Atsign"
Date: 8 July, 2014 at 00:49
New comment waiting approval on hogewash
Bill Schmalfeldt commented on Yours Truly, Johnny Atsign
ANNOUNCER: From Westminster, its time for SOUND: Skype rings
once. JOHNNY: Johnny Atsign. BLOGGER: (Telephone
You need to read 17 USC 506(c) Any person who, with fraudulent intent,
places on any article a notice of copyright or words of the same purport that
such person knows to be false, or who, with fraudulent intent, publicly
distributes or imports for public distribution any article bearing such notice or
words that such person knows to be false, shall be ned not more than
$2,500. I am not sure if that is in total or for each occurrence, but it is
absolutely clear that this individual is claiming copyright ownership of NASA
produced material as a contractor with the Goddard Space Agency." In
essence, John, you have placed your copyright over the copyright of NASA.
That is a federal crime. You claim copyright of every page of every blog for the
months of March, April and May. That includes 70 NASA postings. I have
already contacted NASA, Goddard and MEI if you still work there. Tomorrow, I
call the FBI. And you know who you can thank? You can thank "A Reader." I
saw his butt-kissy remark about how BREATHTAKING your copyrighted NASA
entry was. And that got me to thinking... what are NASA's Terms of Use for
the material. I know it's free to use because it's a government agency. But
they have a line specically stating, and I quote, "It is unlawful to claim
copyright or other rights in NASA material." And that is precisely what you've
done, John. You have claimed copyright of every post of every page of every
blog entry for March, April and May, including 70 NASA posts. Now, I don't
know if the $2,500 will cover all sins, or if it's $2,500 per instance. That would
be something like $175,000. Now I o!ered to walk away from this, remember?
I said, you walk away, I walk away, no harm no foul. But you couldn't have
that. You had to continue to try to destroy me. And now the chickens have
come home to roost. Now, you can make it easy or you can make it harder
and more expensive. I want to know who Paul Krendler is (BTW, a copy of this
comment will become a part of the record, whether or not you publish it.) I
want his address. I want to see a copy of the agreement you signed with
Krendler to purchase his lthy blog entry. We're going to get your case
dismissed, then we're going to proceed with the counterclaim, John. And my
mood to just let bygones be bygones is LONG GONE! My advice to you is
that you need to start guring your least expensive, most face-saving way out
of this mess you've created for yourself. I will bend a little if I must. But this is
all on you, John. This whole thing, It's all on you. And you will have to pay.
Rest well.

DMCA Takedown Notice

From: Steve - WordPress.com dmca@automattic.com
Subject: [DMCA #1890758]: DMCA Takedown Notice
Date: 14 July, 2014 at 12:13
Hi there,
We've received the DMCA notice (http://chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi#QID130) below regarding material published on your
WordPress.com site, which means the complainant is asserting ownership of this material and claiming that your use of it is not permitted by
him/her or the law. As required by the DMCA, we have disabled public access to the material. Please note that republishing the material
without permission from the copyright holder will result in the permanent suspension of your WordPress.com site and/or account.
Repeated incidents of copyright infringement will also lead to the permanent suspension of your WordPress.com site. We certainly don't want
that to happen, so please delete any other material you may have uploaded for which you don't have the necessary rights and and refrain from
uploading additional material that you do not have permission to upload. Although we can't provide legal advice, we're happy to point you to
copyright law resources that might help you make this determination.
Alternatively, if you believe that this notice was received in error, or if you believe your usage of this material falls under the Fair Use provision
of US Copyright Law, it's important that you submit a formal DMCA counter-notice to ensure that your WordPress.com site remains
operational. A valid counter-notice will result in the material being returned to your site in 10 business days if the complainant does not reply
with legal action.
Please refer to the following pages for more information:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/counter-notice/
http://automattic.com/dmca/dmca-counter-notice/
After the notice, there is a list of the material claimed to be in breach of copyright, with the action that we have taken on this occasion. This is
the response that we have sent the complainant.
Thank you.
--- BEGIN NOTICE ---
Dear Designated Agent:
This will probably be a bit more personal than the usual DMCA Takedown Request you receive. I am in the midst of a Copyright Infringement
Suit led by William John Joseph Hoge III, who operates a Wordpress.com blog called Hogewash.com.
Before I detail the nature of this takedown, I have a question. Who owns the copyright on material published on a Wordpress.com blog? Your
Terms of Service make it appear that Wordpress.com owns the ultimate copyright. Am I correct in that assumption? Or can a user of a
Wordpress.com blog write up his own Terms of Service that seem to contradict the Wordpress.com ToS. As you peruse this Takedown
request, I invite you to review Mr. Hoges terms at http://hogewash.com/the-ne-print/
My name is William M. Schmalfeldt, 6636 Washington Blvd. #71, Elkridge, Maryland, USA, 21075

I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner,
its agent, or the law.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notication is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act
on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
I acknowledge that a copy of this infringement notice, including any contact information I provided above (address, telephone number, and

I wrote an autobiography that is availabe in both print and down!
loadable from Amazon in kindle format. The Kindle has been
downloaded hundreds of times with all royalties being paid directly
to the Clerk of the Court for distribution to my victims. The same
with the print version, of which there have been sales to public li!
braries, again with all royalties going to the Clerk of the Court.
Since Bill didnt list any royalty payments from either Cafe Press or
Amazon, this reveals that either of two conditions exist:
A) There were no sales of Bills books or Team Kimberlin (or Team
Schmalfeldt) merchandise during 2013.
B) Bill led a falsied tax return.
This is an instance of a binary, there can only be an A or B, there is
no possible grey area where there is a possibility of some A and
some B or an existence of a C.

Oh Dear. Unca Biwwy is worried that were too stupid to understand that

Unca Biwwy wont tell us his ASVAB score. Or his SAT score. Or his IQ.
My GRE was 2270; when I took it it still had a valid relationship to IQ
scores, and mapped to a 155. Can he beat that? Or is he too chicken to
give us the REAL info?
Im going to bet that hell say something he thinks is witty about scoring a
beeeeelion on something, and then post more assinine tweets, which
will only prove to anyone reading them what an imbecile he really is.

Poor Biwwy wants proof. Hes the one claiming Im dimmer than
he is, so why wont he show us his proof? Hes the one claiming
hes so smart, so hes the one who need to cough up the docu!
mentation.
I sat the GRE back in 84. Weve moved a lot since then, and the
records arent in the box theyre supposed to be in. I remember
the breakdown as 750 verbal, 720 quantitative, (which surprised
me, having taken no math in 6 years) and an 800 on the then new
analytical section.
However Ive got two masters degrees, one in Medieval History
from Trinity College Dublin, (a university which ranks with Oxford
and Cambridge, and which gave Oxford girls their degrees for
decades) which right there ought to suggest somewhat above av!
erage IQ, and an MLS from SUNY Albany (I can check and see if
the GRE is part of their records), with a 3.47 GPA.
My husband scored a 99th percentile on his ASVABs from the
Navy.
Can Biwwy show anything along those lines? Or are we just sup!
posed to believe that simply because he has the ability to call us
dim that is somehow empirical proof of his claim to superiority?

During the 26 months of pre-trial detention as a federal de!
tainee the proecution subjected me to several exams (in!
cluding the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
and Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test) and psych interviews
(because they couldnt get the result they wanted from the
Psychologists and Psychiatrists to show any mental defect
or disease). As I am a federal convict, those results should
be available as they are public records. That may not be
the case as they were never used to convict me as I, after
26 months of connement 900 miles away from my wife
and under seizure of any funds deposited to my commis!
sary account (my wife tried to deposit $50 from her mother
so I could purchase stamps to write her and it was seized
off the books) accepted the governments proffer of a plea
deal (a full 18 months after its initial offering). The Stanford-
Binet indicated an IQ of 165. I did not receive a copy of the
result for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
so I cannot speak to its results.

I doubt that the Cabin Boy ever took the SAT (or the ACT) or
that he has ever seen his own IQ score.
FWIW, Ive scored as low as 68 on an IQ test. It was one given to
me when I entered kindergarten. The test was designed for
preschool kids who couldnt read, and I was already reading at the
second grade level. I got bored and didnt cooperate with the test.
I did better when I was given a test designed for elementary school
children.
My SAT scores were in the 99th percentile. 800 on math and 690
on verbal. 50 years later, I can take those score and a ve dollar
bill to Starbucks and get 50 cents worth of bad coffee.

Which is why I cant nd the things. 8) They really havent
been at all important to me for over two decades. At this
stage if I wanted to go back to university, theyd just want
my previous transcripts, they dont care about standard!
ized tests. Especially with they way theyve been dumbed
down over the years.
I had a girl the other day saying she couldnt understand
why the SAT has a written essay section, since none of the
universities she applied to wanted to see it.
And ones ability to take tests also factors in. Im pretty
good at it. I got much higher on the SAT subject test for
Chemistry than my teacher expected, given that it was my
rst year and I was only running a B (and I was only 14).
The analytical section of the GRE was fun because it was
just like the logic problems I do to relax. I came out of the
test at the end and fellow students who I know were well
into genius territory (I felt like a blithering idiot next to them,
they all had sat and gotten Schol) were all freaking out
about how they only got 15, maybe 20, of the 25 ques!
tions answered in each of the two sections we had and
they didnt think they got them right. I nished all of it, n!
ished checking everything, and had at least 5 minutes left
each time. I just sympathized with them, suspecting that
tact required not mentioning how easy I thought it was.
But CB should be able to come up with ASVABs, and
when he took them they could be used for applying to
Mensa. Im going to guess that they probably werent high
enough.

My SAT scores were 800 math, 790 verbal, and, like our
esteemed host, I can get a drink at Starbucks for about a

More amusing, the next-to-youngest of my offspring was
studying her brains out for the GRE a few years back, and
snapped at me when I pointed out shed do better if she
would relax a bit.
In particular, she said, lets see you do better without
studying!
Well. Challenge accepted.
Unbeknownst to her, I scheduled myself into the same
testing location, and we took the GREs the same day.
My scores were in the 99th percentiles for all sections
hers were in the low 90th percentiles. Good enough to get
her into any grad program in her chosen discipline.
I did not study, nor did I use more than half the allotted
time for any of the tests.
Her response to my scores?
Oh, Dad, everyone knows youre smart enough to ace a

The relaxing bit for studying reminds me of my fathers sto!
ry of one of his engineering profs. This guy told his classes
that the best way to study the night before the test was to
go to a movie. Either you already knew the all stuff, so re!
laxing and getting good nights sleep was the best thing
you could do, or you didnt already know it all in which
case you werent going to learn that much of it by staying
up the whole night before, and the lack of sleep was going
to make sure you didnt remember what you did know.
Likewise, a friend of mine did her MLS and her JD simulta!
neously, planning to become a law librarian. Having got her
JD she gured she might as well sit the bar, just to see, al!
though she wasnt planning on ever practicing and didnt
need it. Naturally she aced the test; it wasnt overly impor!
tant to her so she wasnt forgetting stuff and/or messing
up because of anxiety.

I never took the SAT, but my ACT scores were over
9000!!!1!eleventy!! Actually, if I recall correctly (because
honestly, who cares at this point?), my composite score
was equivalent to the tenth prime number.

After this discussion of smart, I thought I should add that its really not
that important. Ive got plenty of friends and good acquaintances who
arent geniuses, but who have kindness and wisdom, two far more
important traits which have nothing to do with IQ or even book smarts,
but which are what makes a person worth spending time with. If I sat the
GREs now, Id probably score much worse, but I dont care. Im a work in
progress, as is anyone else worth hanging out with, and Ive realized over
the years that the areas worth working on arent the ones that will improve
ones standardized test scores.
While were pretty sure that Unca Biwwy isnt high on the book smarts
scale, Id say right now hes far, far, lower on the kindness and wisdom
scales, which are the real reason no one wants to be around him.
I enjoyed watching House, but really, whod want to have to deal with a
Greg House in real life on a regular basis? If theyd killed off Wilson before
the end of the series, I think I would have stopped watching.

All you need to know about how smart Schmalfeldt is can be gleaned by
the fact that he still claims to have spoken to a court clerk in the late
afternoon of Christmas Eve when the courts were closed. The fact that he
wont even admit that lie is proof positive that his intelligence is
nonexistent.

Why wont CB unearth his ASVAB scores? Because they live in the saem
envelope as his DD-214s which he would immediately be inundated by
requests for if he ever so much as breathed ASVAB
His books are the worst sort of Mary Sue tropes but at least he has
mostly stopped supplying his own ratings since I ragged him about it. At
least now it looks like he uses socks for the job. Funniest bit about his
self-ratings was that he had the chutzpah to provide reviews on himself
but then didnt have the commitment to give himself 5 stars. Liek it gave
some sort of credibility to his review.

I know Hoge's not calling ME stupid. Shit. He couldn't get
a single one of his 367 charges against me to stick, and
I'M the stupid one?
I dont recall our host calling anyone stupid, but if I recall correctly, the
charges were dropped because he asked for them to be.upon the
Cabin Boys promise to quite being such an asshole. So couldnt get a
single one of his 367 charges against me to stick is very dishonest. But
what can you expect, the Cabin Boy is a very dishonest man.

#Logicfail. He tells us what he did at those two exact
times, expecting us to believe he couldnt have been doing
anything in the time between.
And I didnt have to count anything. Just look at some!
ones main twitter page. It tells you have many tweets are
on that account. So, a screen cap from 9pm on the 11th
says Tweets with 14.6K right under that word, while a
screen cap from 4:30 pm on the 12th says 12.1K under
tweets. No counting necessary. So easy even a cabin boy
could do it!

A while ago Willy took umbrage with me when I called him a sub-
literate moron. Well, Ive read samples of his books, and I can say
conclusively that he most certainly is sub-literate. His books are
ABOMINATIONS (he really likes using caps lock in his writing). He
is also the rst author Im aware of who plagiarizes himself. Yep, a
few of his books have entire pages in a row worth of writing that is
identical. I suppose its easy to write multiple books when theyre
just recopied.
Also, he doesnt understand how twitter works. Third graders
know how twitter works. So he is a moron. Sorry Willy, you are in!

published during 2012 They were also heavily advertised on

Im sure Bill still goes to his sweaty-palmed happy place when he

No worries. Hes still reading every single word posted
here. And probably tweeting about this site to himself, like
always. At least when his twitter feed is public, he can pre!
tend hes addressing the posters here. Now hes even
more pathetic.
Probably will copy this post and tweet it out (to absolutely
no one) before you even read it, jem. hahaha
Hes such an idiot, he not only provided proof of being a
cuckold; he not only wrote a letter to a judge, making it a
public record, admitting his dementia; he also gave a de!
tailed account of his typical day in his twitter feed. Pathetic
loser is an upgrade from what he really is.
Bottom line, according to what he wrote, he spends virtu!
ally all of his waking hours sitting alone at his computer in a
space so cramped, he has to move his chair out at night.
And as we all know, most of that time is spent reading
here, or writing about the Hogewash community.
Worthless, unwanted, were all he has. And he not only did
it to himself, he continues the same behaviors that have
alienated most anyone with whom hes ever come into
contact. Including his own children. What a grotesque cari!

It just too easy to prove his lies. Then he gets all butt hurt. No, no, not
from his usual activities, but from having people realize what a constant liar
