Todd Goldman: Screwing It Up Even Worse

As I posted earlier, Todd Goldman was found to have plagiarized the work of Dave Kelly. Goldman even admitted as such (claiming it was "accidental") in a press release.

Now, however, Goldman has hired attorneys and is now threatening everyone from Fleen to Wikipedia to Ryuzaki, who listed every single one of Goldman's acts of plagiarism (and documented how Goldman's employees went on to hack and vandalize several MySpace accounts of those who spoke against him).

Wikipedia has already apparently rolled over for Goldman (though it could be temporary as they review the merits of the case). Hopefully, Fleen and others won't follow suit (and I doubt they will).

I think Todd is going to quickly learn that "lawyering up" to squash criticism has a nasty way of backfiring. Especially when said lawyers have no case to make.
