Attn: Reddit Legal and Reddit Admins, Re: Joseph Cumia's harassment of Reddit members with erroneous DMCAs:

From a concerned Reddit member:
It's important that reddit Admin/Legal know who Joseph Cumia is and how he's threatened to dox and beat up redditors. I put together this list of Joe's doxxing and threatening redditors. Most of the links are to banned subs or Joe's deleted comments, but Reddit staff should be able to look them up.
He's appears to have DMCA'd many fair-use items and many things he has no copyright on including a still image from a television show (The People's Court) owned by Warner Bros. He has DMCA'd numerous repostings and links to his own reddit comments which appears to violate Reddit's ToS which grants Reddit the rights to host that content on Reddit owned properties forever. His main goal in filing DMCAs is likely to dox reddit users he does not like and h harass them, which he's done to at least two redditors so far: spaceedge and theronin23.
Reddits ToS:
Joe Cumia states that he believes he can DMCA any material regardless of who owns it (because it's copyrighted by someone even if it's not him) and implies he's DMCAing material he doesn't have the rights to:
[There’s nothing false or illegal about the DMCA’s that I’ve filed. All Photos and videos on the internet were taken by someone, therefore someone owns the copyright to every last one of those photos and videos.](www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/d0hm71/reddit_legal_has_been_lazily_approving_false_dmca/ez9ze1y/)
Joe Cumia has doxxed and threatened to dox redditors.
Joe Cumia admits on Twitter he's Doxxer100
As username Doxxer100:
["I won’t outright dox you here, that’d be too easy, just want to let everyone here know that if it weren’t for your rich Mommy and Daddy paying your way, you’d be composing artisan sandwiches at Panera with the rest of your constituents. Moving forward, I’d pretty much watch what you say here."](www.reddit.com/r/OpieandAnthonyxyz/comments/cn54i9/my_sister_works_with_boc_srs/ew8knnf/)
.
["From the sound of his voice, He’d die from fear before I ever laid a hand on him. I’d like to Dox him just for fun. Stand gave to face with him and see what kind of a back peddling cunt he really is. All pussies..."](www.reddit.com/r/opienanthony/comments/bqsrw1/im_going_to_start_a_new_trend_that_will_be_very/eo8gi1r/)
Joe posts video as u/IntlectualHomosexual confirming his identity.
As username IntlectualHomosexual (which was banned for doxxing u/spaceedge):
Joe Cumia doxxed the moderator of OpieandAnthony soon after threatening to do so, causing him to shut down the sub:
["Yes!! Everyone keep shitting on SpaceEdge!! I could Dox him tomorrow. I've had his personal info for years. Would it be against Reddit rules if I create a throw away and did it? Then again, maybe the faggot will get sick of the abuse and shut this place down. Mod in the barrel, It's a GREAT TIME to be alive for all of you racist wife beating pedophiles."](www.reddit.com/r/opieandanthony/comments/bddbcy/thank_you_porsalin_for_legitimizing_the_fatrick/ekxl4mn/)
As username TargetedHarassment:
In response a question about what happened to the opieandanthony subreddit, Joe Cumia explains it was shut down after he doxxed the moderator and threatens to dox more redditors:
["Dox'd. More rounds in the chamber. Safety is on. For now."](www.reddit.com/r/opienanthony/comments/bg2ejc/what_the_fuck_happened_to_the_old_sub/elhvqfe/)
Joe references his doxxing of the opieandanthony subreddit moderator:
["Reading this thread, why so obtuse gentlemen? Just admit that without this Bovine brained, fat, talentless, lazy dolt, you WOULDN'T EXIST AS A SUB. No O&A, No you. AT ALL. That's a fact morons. As well, without my dox of TA the Mod, that other sub would at this moment still be engaging in the same mundane, boring-ass shit that it's been doing for the past few years. I'd been lurking there for a few weeks and it was a fucking BORE FEST. You can Fuck with me all you like, but you can not rebuke the facts stated above. As far as mod powers go, I know it was a goof, but it was fucking hilarious."](www.reddit.com/r/opienanthony/comments/bf85mf/do_not_give_joe_mod_powers_ever_again/elch5wv/)
Joe believed redditor u/theronin23 got one of his gigs canceled after u/theronin23 sent the venue information about Joe's political views and informed them that Joe had interviewed former KKK leader David Duke on his rightwing podcast.
On Twitter Joe offers money to doxx redditor u/theronin23, Josh Fonner and threatens to beat him up.
Joe harresed theronin23 on Facebook resulting in a temporary suspention.
In a tweet Joe Cumia would later say he had Fonner's "entire life on his hard drive." He somehow obtained nude photos of Fonner.
Joe Cumia would later post a nude photo of the now deceased redditor Josh Fonner on reddit.
Joe Cumia has threatened other redditors on Twitter:
Tweeting about the same redditor:
"Not looking to beat them, just looking to beat one of them up."
Joe threatens another redditor on twitter, who he would later DMCA strike:
Joe says he'd wind up in prison if he were able to identify his online enemies:

Rules for thee, not for me.
Right Joe?

This worked well last time.

Joe DMCAs practically everything. Posts about him, and posts about everyone related to the show. He even DMCAd screenshots of Opie's tweets.

You’re keeping him from parenting his 1-4 kids. You’re doing cps’s work. New Yorkers thank you.

Legitimate perjury under US law.

Weird that he's admitting he's only concerned about copyright infringement when he chooses to be, while also wearing a username that would indicate that he researches and posts users' home and work addresses (with evidence that it's happened).
Reddit legal very obviously doesn't give a shit, or Joe is literally spreading his asshole open to an admin on Reddit. What's wrong with spreading the message about a public figure who's friends with a man who raped a 12-year-old with a weapon (at least according to the official NYS sex offender registry) and is very openly racist. He's trying to do gigs where there are children around.
1 CakesCommaJohnny 2019-09-10
He's figured out how to abuse Reddit's system and using it against them, and us. He's not the only public figure doing it, either. For example, on that WatchRedditDie thread, people mentioned that "Ice Poseidon" dude is doing the same thing since his (former) fans discovered he's a kiddie diddler.
1 paulrnelson 2019-09-10
I wonder what news outlets would love to know that Reddit is harboring a known racist pedophile
1 BlackManMoan 2019-09-10
The media had a field day when it found out Reddit was openly hosting CP subs. Those very subs were the first things to come up when you simply searched Reddit on Google for a while. Only then did they shutter the subs and start handing information over to the authorities.

It's long past due for more people to contact Reddit admins. If there's only a few of us doing it, it's easily ignored. People (who aren't total retards and can write coherent, professional emails) need to contact them at [email protected] and let them know this is a Public Figure who's being paid by his celebrity brother, Anthony Cumia, to harass Reddit members, Reddit admins, and Reddit Legal in order to silence critics on the internet.
1 JoeCumiaWearsDIAPERS 2019-09-10
Have you tried calling their legal Dept to see if you can speak with someone who can send an internal note to the admins that they've been informed of a user who has blatantly admitted that they're abusing the system? Our shitposting aside, it's insane that their policy allows people to repeatedly file illegal claims for the sole purpose of taking down subs when they have literal admissions of guilt.
I'm sure they sit in the US. If not, LMK and I'll see if I can dig up any contacts and PM you.

Cease and Desist harassing Reddit members and abusing Reddit's reporting system, Joseph Cumia.
1 ShiftyMcGrifter 2019-09-10
Can Joe "Hillarhea" Cumia still illegally file false DMCA shit if he's banned from the current sub?
He wanted to get one of his stupid contributions into Urban Dictionary so bad... look where that one got him. Dummy.
