But wouldn't he be sued from the person who WROTE the article and not the person who was quoted (Gilabert)? Makes no sense (for the latter)....

never thought I'd need to but kats are bringing me up in topics that have nothing to do with me, like my presence permeates their conscience on a consistent basis. Not cool.
Good luck though OP. I remember the big guy from http://www.jumpforsts.com sent me a similar email calling me by my full name (and this was way before the days of google, facebook, & spokeo) threatening to sue me for bootlegging his program and it freaked me out.

I say you wait until the eighth day to remove the thread, and see if he actually responded to you on the seventh day and what goes down from there.
Probably a troll, however, it seems too random of a thread and such to be a troll, so maybe it's actually legit

I don't know OP, this seems a bit odd to me. I'm not a lawyer but I just don't think a lawsuit can be brought against you for an article you made a reference to. I mean really, does this guy intend to search the Internet for every potential reference to that article?
His beef should be with the journalist and/or the site, not you. Sending a threatening PM to you and providing a bogus email doesn't work well in his favor.
"I'm in a good position to tell you that there is no way you could hide behind a simple username or email address"
Is this guy a secret agent or something? Get out of here with that. I wouldn't worry too much about it OP, if you can find the article and think it's worth removing to appease this guy, do so. Otherwise, tell him to take it up w/ the journalist.
Edit: So the original thread is locked? Like I said, tell buddy to take it up w/ the journalist and kick rocks. He has no case against you!

This is not may area of expertise, but there has been a booming practice of copyright extortion in recent years whereby a legal entity will purchase rights to represent a media source and then begin pursuing dubious lawsuits against anyone who reproduces a portion of the copyrighted material, even when properly referenced and attributed. The extortion aspect comes into play because these groups exclusively target small fish - usually personal bloggers - because they can't afford to defend themselves and will almost unanimously settle for a few thousand dollars rather than risk a trial. Recently, however, many of these spurious lawsuits have begun being dismissed when they do go to trial after the litigant fails to prove that they actually own the material in question, setting a precedent that, in fact, solely buying the right to represent a copyright does not empower one to initiate litigation over it. What's more, few of these trials fail to decide in favor of the litigant unless there has been actual copyright infringement. Like I said, I don't know anything. But posting an article does not seem like you were stealing someone else's work, doing them irreparable harm by reposting it, or benefiting yourself from posting the original piece. Again, I don't know anything but my guess is that this will go away very quickly and be nothing but a quirky part of NikeTalk history.
