A Brooklyn man is using a video calling service for the deaf to reach out and touch — himself, the company providing the service alleges in a lawsuit.
David Marcano is one of the most fervent users of software offered by a Florida company, ZVRS, which gets federal money every time a hearing-disabled person uses its product to place a call, the company claims. The software allows the deaf to call one of ZVRS’s sign-language interpreters via video chat. The interpreters act as operators, placing calls to third parties on behalf of the deaf person and then translating the call. But Marcano, 51, isn’t deaf, and his calls don’t need any translating, the company says in Brooklyn federal court papers. Marcano has made 4,646 calls to ZVRS since Jan. 1 “for the sole purpose of masturbating in view of ZVRS’s employees,” the business says. “In every call made through ZVRS’s software platform, Marcano appears on the video call for the purpose of exposing his genitals or masturbating to ZVRS’s female staff,” according to the suit which seeks unspecified damages. As soon as ZVRS cancels Marcano’s account, he uses false information to create a new one, they gripe. He’s called from eight different numbers, and contacted them as recently as Sept. 21, the company charges. He has signed up for new ZVRS accounts under the names “Davey Mareno,” “Davey Mar,” “Dave Maccan,” “Dave Mard” and “Dave Macan,” among others. The calls have cost the company productivity and business and left ZVRS’s employees with emotional distress, the firm claims |

I don't use VRS because I don't know ASL. So I use CaptionCall on landline and Sprint wireless Captel. You guys can rule me out. Thanks for your concerns.

Why does this need to be an interactive video service for sign language? If deaf people can sign can't they type? Chat to the operator who then places the call.

View Quote You're about 51 years too late with that idea; TTY was invented in 1964. We no longer have to type out a conversation to a TTY operator thanks to technological advances - signing and using a video-relay interpreter is much more efficient for deaf to hearing and hearing to deaf calls. We can even call each other and have conversations directly, without having to type them out. Is there some hidden benefit to TTY that I've forgotten about? Cause I sure don't remember any - especially over VP. |

I admire men who ply their craft relentlessly: running dope, practicing medicine, furiously masturbating....

Ya he did, you knew when the rounds were being made. At the time the floor was smallish and routed the calls to who was up in que, or they would recycle him through the que. Instead of chat roulette it was spank roulette via phone calls. He did get a couple of femme sounding gay dudes who mocked him until he rage hung up. |
