This is also clearly about Mason asserting his "power" and seeing revenge upon me for past (imagined) grievances.

Mason is not going after any other site or forum which copy/pastes third-party posts on 2+2.

Mason's own forum is filled with posts which are copy/pasted from elsewhere. His mods have never attempted to stop such a practice.

This site does not run for profit, and never has. I am not attempting to compete with 2+2, nor am I attempting to steal their traffic.

The section of this forum which concerns him -- Scams, Scandals, and Shadiness -- is actually a public service to the poker community, seeking to out scams and frauds within the poker and gambling community. By Mason's own admission, the copy/pasting of third party posts on his site was done "to create separate discussions on PokerFraudAlert". Yeah, exactly. We are trying to spread the word about scammers and fraudsters within the poker community, and the more publicity of such things, the better for everyone. Does 2+2 have a monopoly on starting discussions on poker scams?

None of this copy/pasting has cost Mason a penny. In fact, given that I always put a backlink to 2+2 to attribute the source of the post being copy/pasted (as did all other users who copy/pasted from there), PokerFraudAlert likely brought additional traffic to Mason's site, even those who already knew about 2+2 but hadn't thought of visiting in awhile. This is why I always assumed Mason was fine with this practice, and it was clear that his mods such as ProfessionalPoker were aware of it for years. Until this year (5 years after PFA started), Mason never once raised issue with this.

Anyway, good luck Mason with taking legal action regarding content you don't own, against a site not running for profit.
