I am actually one who wants to avoid any kind of controversy or confusion or both. Lately he’s been mailing me saying that the usage of the name”Jim Mirkalami ” is totaly illegal, as he believes it’s a one in a zillion name. WTF?
This is what he wrote in the mail.
“Since there is only one (1) Jim Mirkalami in this universe and that is “I”, I do have exclusive right to this name and its use.”

Although he says he may have exclusive right to his name, its not the its trademarked now is it? nore would merely saying it be cause for a lawsuit nessisarily.

*sigh* anyway goodluck

:D

I used to work for a company that was located near West Beaver Creek Road up in Richmond Hill, Ontario. It’s for real…well, the address anyway.

The thing with deleting information that has been available on the internet is that often other people have copies and caches that live on. Your deleted posts have been reposted by somebody here: http://fartego.blogspot.com/2008/04/story-of-jim-mirkalami-single-dad.html

I have also been one of those ‘lucky’ bloggers been followed by this fanboy Mirkalami. I did two posts on his actions. They are here and here.

And this is why he wants to go on a rampage to sue us. ROTFL.

I really want to publish all the emails, but I seriously would like to know if you are aware of its degree of “fakeness”. Coz, he seems to be quite regular in explaining his side of the story.

His 8A Affidavit of Service should be interesting - “I swear that I put the dokument in a scanner thing and then posted it via the intertubes to Mr Welling. Sorry I can’t be more specific, I am not very internet savey”.

Further, his 11A Affidavit of Jurisdiction is going to be even more interesting - the issue of where something published on the internet “takes place” for jurisdictional purposes is very complex - I can’t wait to see the Ontario Small Claims Court grapple with that one - assisted by Mr Mirkalami QC of course.

Unfortunately, he may eventually serve you properly, and then you will have to deal with it. Of course, you could take a trip to Canada, win, then get costs for disbursments under R19.01, inconvenience under R19.05 plus a penalty against him under R19.06 for acting unreasonably.

Or you could just ignore it - $10,000 Canadian dollars is only about $25 US dollars anyway isn’t it?

Oh, and he supposedly lives on West Beaver Creek Road - are you sure this isn’t an elaborate April Fools joke?

Nice.

I wonder what Canadian law says about anti-spam comments left on blogs!

Anyway, keep it up Luke, I like your writing. You, Tchay and Zed are my favorites.
