I received the following email from Anne Bevington, lawyer to the fraud, Amanda Baggs who is faking autism to the detriment of all people who actually do have autism.
Isn't it amusing how this scumbag lawyer tries to claim that this picture that Bevington keeps having removed all over the internet is not a picture of Amanda when she was normal. Anyone can see that she looks normal and the young man in the photo has stated that she was normal at this time.
I think that Bevington and Amanda's mother lied when they filed the copyright claim. I can't prove that but that's my opinion based on conversations with the person who tells me that he owns the photo. Notice that Bevington claims Amanda's mother took the picture but she does not claim that Baggs' mother owned the camera. Nor does she claim that Baggs' mother has the negative or the original picture. I chose to believe the person who tells me he owns the photo, not the lawyer who admitted awhile back that Amanda baggs is not autistic.
How many ways can this woman try to deceive people?

Dear John:
This concerns your use of a photograph of Amanda Baggs at
age 14 that was contained in a video that was uploaded to
the user account JohnBestJunior on YouTube. The video was
taken down by YouTube due to a DMCA complaint I sent.
The photo was taken by Anna Marie Baggs, Amanda's mother.
Anna Baggs owns the copyright, which is registered with the
US Copyright Office under Registration No. VAu 999-067. I
sent the DMCA complaint on behalf of Anna, not Amanda.
Statements that Amanda made any claims of copyright
infringement as to this photo are false.
Anna took the photo in a private setting, and she has never
published it. Anna has the right of first publication, to
determine if, when and how the photo will be published. Your
publication of the photo infringes on that and the other
rights inherent in Anna's copyright. Anna has never
transferred her rights to anyone. The person who provided
you with a copy of the photo has no copyright and no license
to disseminate or otherwise publish the photo.
The photo does not depict Amanda as a normal teenager at
college. The photo was taken around the time that Amanda was
diagnosed with ASD and is a portrait of her as a
developmentally disabled 14 year old girl in a psychiatric
hospital in California. Statements to the contrary are
false.
You do not have permission to display, disseminate or
otherwise publish this photo of Anna Baggs' daughter. Please
refrain from further infringement of her copyright.

UPDATE: I have since learned that Anna Baggs did not take that picture and that that picture was taken by the young man in the picture by using a timer on HIS camera. I also learned that the picture WAS taken at a psychiatric hospital.
Nevertheless, whether I have permission to use the picture or not is none of Bevington's business since whoever filed that copyright claim for Anna Baggs had to have lied about the ownership of the picture. That's something the California Bar Association should investigate.

It sure does not look like it was taken at a psychiatric hospital.
The Amanda Baggs Getting the Truth Out Project is kicking into high gear with more than 500 uploads of the Getting the Truth Out about Ms. Baggs which is about to "pepper" the internet. We take you deep inside the questionable diagnosis of Ms. Baggs autism claims and we intend to ask the serious question, is Ms. Baggs faking autism? Our conclusion is that she is.
I submit that the image of Amanda is covered under 'Fair Use' and that her attorney is only screwing with you. How many people has this douchebag actually sued rather than threaten?
