Linux developer Anthony Norman continues to fuss
Intellectual property infringement. This universal universal is used not only in the struggle of corporations or in the suppression of competitors, but even in personal pretensions of Linux developers.
For many years, Anthony Norman was a useful member of the Linux community. He remains the main developer of Pinguy OS (Ubuntu fork) and was an active contributor to the Cup of Linux project (another Linux distribution). In turn, the developers of Cup of Linux often mentioned Norman and the new releases of Pinguy OS in their Spatry video podcast on YouTube. It would seem that all is well.
But a couple of weeks ago , the first problems arose . It all started with the fact that the user “Pinguy“ for 3 months was banned on the forum cupoflinux.com for “several cases of bad behavior under the influence of [alcohol]”.
Norman did not accept it and gave an asymmetrical answer. Soon, Spatry received a letter from the YouTube administration with a message about copyright infringement.

An application for blocking videos in the Spatry podcast is filed on behalf of Anthony Norman. That requires the removal of videos mentioning Pinguy OS on the grounds that he owns the brand for this product.
These videos - rather, advertising Pinguy OS, so that the complaint can only be regarded as an act of personal revenge.
Spatry had no choice but to remove the videos. I had to remove 29 pieces - everything that mentioned Pinguy OS. At the same time, it was decided to erase all Norman messages from the cupoflinux.com forums, and the ban period was changed from 3 months to life. In general, the developers quarreled finally.
That would be the end of the story, but Norman continues to behave inadequately. After this story was published on Techdirt’s website, he threatened legal prosecution for “publishing personal data,” namely, his email address. He was reasonably told that this address is available in GoDaddy registration records. Norman edited the notes and said that he would give the information to his lawyer.
Of course, you can only sympathize with the Linux-developer, who was involved in such a story, received an unpleasant fame and a lifetime ban on the forum. He should probably limit his beer consumption.
