Hi Ed,

We looked into Julian Hutzler in connection with Rome Silvanus.  Here's some of what we found.

Julian Hutzler

We didn't locate too much information on Julian Hutzler beyond what you sent to us.

Hutzler works in the tech sector based on his LinkedIn profile, but there's not much more that we located.

One of Julian Hutzler's websites khaosmedia.com is a dead site that redirects to this:
Note that the WHOIS information for khaosmedia.com domain shows a slightly different address than one that you sent: Jakobsweg 44, Stattegg 8046 AT.

derpy.horse WHOIS information shows the address from you.

There's a landing page at that website:

Both Rome Silvanus and Julian Hutzler live in Austria and are into MLP. Stattegg is a suburb of Graz, which isn't exactly near Vienna (200 km or 2 hours away) or in the state of Wein; Graz is the capital of Styria state. There isn't "Jakobsweg 44" in Vienna, so we're guessing that Stattegg is the correct city of Hutzler's location, and that the Graz/Wein discrepancy may be either a mix-up or Hutzler's attempts to throw off people like us.

We have not found anything that puts Hutzler is Vienna, other than that his last known employer Kapsch TrafficCom AG is headquartered in Vienna. Hutzler's employment with Kapsch ended in 2013, so he could certainly have moved to Graz after that and registered the two domain names. But other than the relative proximity, we have not found anything that definitively confirms that Hutzler is Rome Silvanus.

Rome Silvanus' platforms

As previously noted, Hasbro's copyright counsel contacted Silvanus' hosting company for http://iwatchitfortheplot.romesilvanus.io, (attached). Hetzner Online GmbH is an Internet hosting company and data center operator based in Gunzenhausen, Germany. It forwarded Ms. Reynolds' letter to Rome Silvanus, as he posted it on his website.

The file sharing service that Rome Silvanus told bighckintosh to use was syncwerk, a cloud storage service. Syncwerk GmbH<https://www.syncwerk.com/> is based Wiesentheid, Germany. Rome Silvanus also uses Seafile, a P2P file-hosting software. Seafile is a predecessor company of Syncwerk (but separate companies now), and is based in Beijing, China. Rome Silvanus also uses BTSync, a/k/a BitTorrentSync now known as Resilio Sync, another P2P sharing software.

Lisa
