La Tasca Threatens DB Over Troll Video
2008/08/22
In a response to the "Bleach 184 La Tasca special", La Tasca of Baltimore Inner Harbor has contacted Dattebayo, LLC, requesting that the video be removed.
Susan Barker Simmons, Managing Partner, La Tasca Baltimore, contacted Dattebayo with the statement "The 'video' is clearly not an episode and can be defined as threatening in nature and defamatory, more specifically libelous and slanderous, the video is in print and spoken." The contact also threatened legal action.
Our crack legal team has worked hard attempting to determine which parts of the video the restaurant found meet the above statements, but has taken the torrent off our website as part of a good faith agreement. Dattebayo, songwriter Yohan Bellotrovich and singer Benny Thompson maintain their innocence. When asked for comment on his experience at the restaurant, Mr. Bellotrovich stated, "Seriously, that place sucked ass."
Viewers who missed the video can still find it uploaded on numerous other torrent trackers and streaming anime sites, thanks to Dattebayo's new troll-detection circumvention system. Additional information about La Tasca can be found on Google and other popular search engines.
