haha, cool. because I love seeing spam e-mail so much that I love it when other people post theirs for me to see. mucho gracias, aka Much thanks.

I doubt there is even 867-thousand pounds in all of Liverpool.

I think this was my favorite part

Actually, that copyright notice is worrisome. Some lawyer just got a judge to uphold a copyright on a cease & desist letter, theoretically preventing it from being posted online anywhere. I can't imagine that'll continue to hold up though.

I can post the link if you really want it, I suspect its not safe to click though.

Congrats? No, seriously, why this? I don't see what's so unreasonable about asking someone for their sources. Are you so unfamiliar with basic conversation that you wouldn't understand why I'd want to see what he read, and not necessarily the first thing that pops up on google? It was a cute snipe and all, great verbal economy and whatnot, but damn, gimmie a break.

Sorry, future lawyer at work here; time to argue the other side.

Ok, so perhaps "cite please" was not exactly an invitation to conversation and could easily be taken as hostile. I vote myself off the island.

Okie dokie. I've read the opinion presented on this "Dozier" site. Ideally I'd like to have had a proper citation to a case, but alas we've already established that I'm lazy.

Unless someone can point to another, more conclusive opinion, I'd say you all are getting way ahead of yourselves. This opinion rejects a motion to quash - there's no final judgment made here. It's a minor setback for the copyright defendant at worst, but admittedly closer to trial, which can get expensive I guess. The judge did not reach the merits of the case and didn't even try to explain them at any meaningful level. Even assuming it gets to trial, my money's on the defendant still. Even assuming the plaintiff wins at trial, it's still a pissant court in Idaho under the 9th district, an appellate court that damn well knows copyright law and could tear an incompetant judgment to shreds.

I don't claim to be an expert on copyright, but a good judge can smell a meaningless ploy a mile away. And about the 3 posts in a row: bite me I like to ruminate.

Pretty sure his point was while it's not unreasonable by any stretch to ask for source information (for whatever reason) ...you being lazy.

Which is why I didn't bother to provide a link for you. I'll go out of my way if it's an instance of 'can't find it', or something unusual, but even someone who has no google fu could've found that shit.

_________________

Regardless, the information you all were working from seems to be skewed, at best. Despite what you all might think, random websites pulled from Google aren't exactly a high fidelity source of information on much of anything, let alone the law. It's actually a problem endemic to most of your posts Tarot; a wikipedia-level understanding of the world. Honestly I wasn't asking entirely for my own benefit. I may not be a 30-year practitioner, but I've read my share of trial records and briefs. Notwithstanding the fact that I can't give anyone any kind of advice here, I think that I still have a lot of value to add to a discussion involving the law. There's a lot more there than you probably appreciate.

Might want to work on your reading skills there. "You all" is a single person who brought up the copyright issue. They weren't even the person who provided the link, which if you're actually concerned about the quality of a source (lolz) you'd have asked them directly and awaited their response. Despite what "you all might think" is even more self important nonsense.

As it was, that case happened to be in the mainstream media for days, a simple google search (C&D copyright) would have found you enough information to follow it further. You were being lazy. Of course that's giving you the benefit of the doubt, you might just be that stupid. I'd certainly hope anyone using this board isn't that much of a failure on how to use a search engine, but I suppose it's possible.

As far as that actual topic, you've offered nothing of worth. You didn't even bother to thank the person who went out of their way to provide a link, you simply bitched about the manner in which it was provided while repeatedly tooting your own horn. Normally that might end up as some quality entertainment as a few people hand you your ass, but it's been slow around here.

So enjoy extolling your self worth in a mostly dead thread. Just remember that the sound of one hand clapping is fap fap fap fap fap.

Khan wins the thread.

Hey who was it that posted a Nigerian scam and really believed in it and he and his wife were gonna do it? Anyone remember that?

I really don't know why I expect any more than hypocrisy, hyperbole, selective memory, and misplaced anger around here. I asked the wrong way. Are you happy? (of course you’re not) Nothing else you’ve said carried much meaning beyond “I dislike you.” Ok, you win. Want to move on to the substance now? Or are you afraid of that?

Oh, and before you do that, you might want to peruse the (obviously mainstream) source quoted above for updates to see if anyone's skepticism was vindicated. Like... say... mine.

Part of the problem with a dismissive attitude is that you'll dismiss both the wrong and the right. I'll use better manners from now on I guess. Chalk that up to a moral victory for you, ok?

You are neither Phoenix Wright or Harvey Birdman funny.



Go fetch.

Nothing is more pitiful than sticking your foot in your mouth, then nailing yourself to a cross when you get called on it.

Just shut up.

Well shoot, when you going to the UK to pick up your winnings?

Bring a big trunk for all those pounds, they weigh a ton I hear.

Oh I'm not going over there to pick it up. They said they would be happy to wire transfer it to my bank account, all they need is the number and a $250 fee for the transfer!!
