    1. He’s going to court without a lawyer, which is always always always a bad idea (I wish that weren’t the case but it is a fact);
    2. He’s tried to claim he doesn’t own or operate the business in question;
    3. His defenses are spaghetti thrown at the wall:

    His defenses include fair use, invalid copyrights, a lack of standing, fraudulent inducement, an arbitration clause, failure to state a claim, and unjust enrichment.

    Many of these (in fact, all but the arbitration clause; that’s probably from their TOS but won’t save him) are SovCit arguments and simply do not apply. They’re going to be dismantled in seconds in court, and I know that with at best a slightly-better-than-layperson understanding of the law. This guy is going to get thoroughly Bowser’d.
