J. Hutton Pulitzer Threatens "Consequences" for Using Photo of Now Almost Certainly Fake "Roman" Sword

12/18/2015

53 Comments

 
Sunlight is the best disinfectant, so I will report that after my blog post about J. Hutton Pulitzer’s claims regarding an allegedly “Roman” sword found sometime in the past several decades off the coast of Oak Island in Nova Scotia, Pulitzer contacted me to demand that I remove my use of the small portion of a photograph of the sword which appeared in the Boston Standard newspaper for violating his copyright. The image in question was included in a side-by-side comparison of two similar swords created by Andy White, who also received the takedown notice. The comparison used a small portion of the Boston Standard photograph in a photo composite.
The claims about the sword are likely to soon be a moot point after the revelation sent to me, Andy White, and others that the “Roman” sword Pulitzer is promoting as a first-century Roman artifact is visually identical to an old reproduction antiqued sword apparently made for the Italian tourist trade. One such sword is currently for sale on Italian eBay. Given that the blades are slightly different lengths, it’s possible that the handles were cast from the same mold, with the blades hammered out by hand. I don’t know for certain since I haven’t seen them in person. This doesn’t prove that the Nova Scotia sword is a fake, but it casts doubt on claims that it could only be a first century Roman artifact, especially when Andy White received information about yet another version of the same sword!
 
I initially declined Pulitzer’s request to remove the image for several reasons, notably because courts have consistently ruled that the use of a small portion of a copyrighted work in a transformative work for the purpose of fair comment and criticism and/or news reporting on an issue of public concern is protected by Section 107 of the Copyright Act. The photograph in question is a transformative work in that it creates a photo composite for the purpose of generating new information (a comparison), and my use of that photo composite is explicitly for the purposes of news reporting and fair comment and criticism given that I both reported the “news” of the discovery and offered comment and criticism on the similarities between the Nova Scotia and Florida swords.
 
Pulitzer maintained that my reproduction of the photo composite violates his rights because it will limit his ability to license the original photograph to Getty Images, which he said is in negotiations to license 100 such photographs from him for what he hopes to be potential sale to textbook companies. (According to Getty Images, they do not contract to acquire photos on a case by case basis but rather invite photographers to become members of their image service.)  
 
While I maintain that my use of the image falls under the fair use exemption, since I’m not in the business of purposely making people upset and the photo composite isn’t my work to begin with, I told Pulitzer that I would consider his takedown request if he would provide documentation that he is in fact the rights holder of the image. This is an important and necessary step to protect myself in the even that others should demand images be removed. In order to protect the rights of everyone involved, it is essential that only legitimate rights holders make takedown requests. After all, anyone one can make a claim or use false claims to suppress criticism. This, of course, set off Pulitzer, who spent the better part of six hours last night repeatedly insisting that he had no obligation to prove that the photograph belonged to him before demanding its removal.
 
During the conversation, which he copied to his lawyer, Steven L. Green of the firm of Richardson Koudelka in Dallas, Texas, Pulitzer made a number of confusing claims that called into question his status as the rights holder of record. He claimed that he was the photographer who took the picture (though he declined to provide proof of such), but then said that all of his rights to the photograph had been transferred to one of “our” unnamed companies. He did not provide proof that he had the legal right to engage in legal action on behalf of the unnamed rights-holding corporation, or who the apparently plural owners of said company are.
 
When I requested this proof for my records, Pulitzer became upset and insisted that it was my legal burden to prove I was not violating his rights. I informed Pulitzer that establishing standing is essential for any legal action and will be required by any court, at which point he told me that I as the defendant in a potential court case have the burden of proof. Pulitzer’s lawyer did not participate in the conversation except to say he would remain silent.
 
I don’t know why Pulitzer is being so cagey and resistant to the simple request that he provide proof that he owns the rights to the photo he claims to own; it seems like a fairly simple thing. After all, I have to do it every time I assert copyright infringement against individuals who have copied wholesale from my work and, unlike this case, sell it for profit. Anyway, the long and short of it is that I’m tired of dealing with him, and he knows it. He threatened Andy White by asserting that he would file a lawsuit solely to cost White money (“See, takes nothing to file the suit, [but it] takes a tremendous amount to get out of one”), and he implied the same to me.
​
It isn’t right or fair that Pulitzer can bully his way into positive coverage by making improper legal claims and threatening people with financial ruin, but that seems to be his method. So, what I’ve done is replace “his” photograph with a fair use photograph of the sword from Italian eBay. With none of the material in my blog post even remotely belonging to him, he now has no legal footing to harass me or complain about my blog post (which has not changed in wording at all), and, best of all, there is now another blog post detailing the lengths he will go to in order to control how the public perceives his tenure as TREASURE FORCE COMMANDER. I guess we now know what he means by treasure and force​.

It saddens me how you and Andy White are having to walk on eggshells with this guy but I certainly understand y'all's position. It is true that he can sue anybody for anything and that it cost time and money to respond. I think the best thing that is going to come of this whole incident is that he is going to be revealed to be what he is. See how careful my wording is here? Haha, I don't need him suing ME! I have a very gullible friend who is into all kinds of fringe ideas, Sitchen, UFOs, Lost Worlds, Huckstered X's, etc., and even he has had to reluctantly admit that Pulitzer is as we know him to be. This whole incident will not be good for the Commander.

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that while people _can_ be sanctioned for frivolous lawsuits, the defendant still usually doesn't get their legal fees back unless there's a specific statute saying so. There are SLAPP* laws in some states that might apply, but I don't think they apply to frivolous copyright claims - they're usually applied to frivolous defamation cases - and only some states have them yet. But again, I'm no lawyer, I just read Popehat.

Mike; I wouldn't lose too much sleep about being sued by Pulitzer. He threatened to sue me for libel (even sent me a cut and paste definition of the word) because I quoted a section of public information about him and direct quotes he made in an interview.

I was going to say that Pulizer's attorney would tell him that it is up to the plaintiff to prove his case but then I realized, heck, that would mean that a lawyer would have to conduct himself ethically. Sorry you had to accommodate this bully.

So this is how it's going to be with the fringe community? Bogus claims aren't enough, now there will be lawsuits aplenty for intellectual property that the likes of Pulitzer claim to own, but are unwilling to prove?

Speaking of intellectual property, check out this link and take note of Pulitzer's response:

Truly a paragon of the modern dirt bag.

I look forward to the next three days of updates. He doesn't seem the sort to back down from the crazy ledge very quickly.

I spend about five seconds looking to see if there were other sites Pulitzer could go rant at for stealing "his" picture before I was distracted by this tidbit:
http://solomonssecret.org

Pay him $46.83 and you too could have an extra "$172 worth" of raving lunacy absolutely free! Updated just last month, a re-release/re-write of Pulitzer's moronic text claiming the Spear of Destiny (and much more!) was also found on Oak Island! Act now, before you have to pay the full "retail" price of $231.90 for all these fantastic resources guaranteed to show you just where to find all the treasure Pulitzer never has!

As a follow-up to my post; the sites are actually viewable (the ones that are still active). Apparently, depending on browser and state of Windows Updates, this us an issue that comes and goes. The solution is a simple hit of the ESC key to kill the pop-up requesting log-in. Windows Updates this week appear to have reintroduced the gremlin for some. Sorry for any confusion, but glad there is a solution.

Hutton Pulitzer pinched my original photo on Oak Island and had the odacity to mark it as copywrite for himself and post it on one of his sites. I have the original at home given to me by Kaye Chappell. He removed my stamp at the bottom - the nerve of him! I absolutely know it is my photo because I am the only one where there is a little boat in the water nearby. That is my testimony and note I can produce the original at any time .....he can't!

Joy Steele, I bought and read your book. Ive had previous communications with you on FB groups and we had some back and forth regarding some things. Good story Joy but I am extremely disappointed about how you went about this. You could have come and debated with us all about some of these facts in the book that aren't even true. Please dont take this the wrong way but I was really looking forward to "Not Another Oak Island Solved Story". I am not being critical and have no regrets of buying it. Attacking Hutton is not the way.

If his real beef is with copyright infringement, sure. But if (as I think is more likely the case) he just wanted you to stop showing people that his "artifact" looks suspiciously similar to a cheap modern wallhanger, then he's going to have to try a tactic that isn't foiled by a simple link to the original article.

You and Andy are not the only ones he has threatened with lawsuits. There are others, if you have my email fire me a direct message with it.

He is seen as a bully and a system by too many, only caring about getting his face in the media. Does he actually care about real archaeology or history? Only insofar as much as it can fill his bank account and win the popular vote.

He is a manipulator as well. He tells people that he is part of the show, has them like his multitude of Facebook pages, and links which redirect to his website then to actual articles so he can relish in the provided traffic.

Terry Deveau offered his paper free to download of the Overton Stone. What did Pulitzer do? Downloaded a copy and had people directed to his page to get it,instead of from the source. He has done this with others works as well, then sits back andsays nothing when credit is given to him as if he did the hard work.

Right now he is on fire watch. He's been banning people left and right on his Facebook page, linking and relinking his own rebuttals repeatedly, ignoring serious questions and STILL casting names of people in a manner that would, had the tables been turned, had him sending out libel threats on behalf of his lawyer.

For a guy that screams truth, says he will shred apart conspiracy and destroy the naysayers....maybe he should start the ball rolling by quitting the internet and becoming a monk.

From the first time I saw that bafoon Pulitzer (opinion), he sized himself up for what he is, a small man with a need for greatness. My "opinion" of course.

How many recall the "my opinion" yarns on fb some time back?

Perhaps these should indeed go to litigation, as it may be the best way to show bluster is no substitute for competence.

Why is it that when these nutters get caught making fake claims their first reply is 'I am gonna sue you!'? It's like, come on. No, you aren't going to get sued. This person is defaming the name Pulitzer. Sad. And yes, that sword is faker than a plug nickel (the wooden kind of arcades, also called slugs, which were metal, usually aluminum foil).

He cannot copyright a picture of a picture from another web site. No court is going to take that case! I know those pictures are copies. He doesn't own them. You all know this too.

The sword is also an obvious tourist trap fake available in stores, even in some mall shops where I am. You can pretty easily make it look older using spray paint and special effects. If it was on the island, a tourist left it there, possibly Pulitzer. (I am not afraid to use his name, which is also fake, as he has stolen the real name to make himself look important, so it is not defamation).

I am not going to rail on his claims or insult him though, as it is not going to accomplish anything. Calling him out is not an insult. He is what he is and he knows it.

Don't let him intimidate you with false lawyer claims. They do that when they have nothing.

Only a legitimate owner may copyright a photo, such as the person who took the photo. On the net though many photos have been reclaimed multiple times and there is no way to trace watermarks or other indicators.

On Facebook all photos are encoded with a number and letter series distinct to the user, so you who have them should be able to make a backup with that number, save it, and say it's your photo. You took it.

The copyright would not apply in this case as there is no way to prove the photo isn't some copy from another publication.

Now publishing houses do have the rights to photos they take, and you could get permission or have a tagline at the bottom, '@photo courtesy of...name the paper, etc, with permission.

Personal photos are likely different than archive ones, but still, if one of y'all has a photo with you in the background and he claims it's his, it's your photo.

Probably because, as Pulitzer mentioned, it costs relatively little to initiate a lawsuit, especially in small claims court, small claims cases receive significantly less attention, and failure to appear or respond can be used against you, while the legal judgment is just as binding whether you show up or not. At that point, it really doesn't matter whether he has anything more than a lawyer and the filing fee, because the judgment stands regardless of which side is right. The nuisance lawsuit isn't as easy as it once was, but as he said, it's fairly easy to initiate and a pain to evade.
