BUMP = "Bring Up My Post"

I'm being completely serious: Is that what "bump" stands for? This whole time of being on the internets I always thought it was literally just "bump"ing the thread to the top of the list. Like nudging, hitting, etc.

Good, now this can be locked. :)

She says it is frivolous and if the company had continued to use the photo there would be a case. Now she is pissed off because the OP seems sue happy in the first three posts. She says for him or her to get organized and start a company if their pictures are so good that companies are stealing them for marketing purposes.
Also the cost of going to court over 2 hours of use (after they were told they couldn't use the photo for free) out weighs the profit. Unless they settled and in such settlement the OP is not allowed to address the outcome. Which may have happened.....
Man I am glad I am not a lawyer!

[delatlanta1281]

Here's the thing, (I never saw this, and I will have my lawyer who is standing behind me read through it) DTM F-werks put the picture up, they were then told it wasn't theirs to put up, so they took it down. No harm no foul. Skateboarding companies use all kinds of logos and pictures illegally until they are told they cannot, then they take them down, no harm, no foul. Where a lawsuit may be a good way to threaten someone to stop using your stuff, it probably won't do anything for you if the people you sue basically say "my bad" and take it down immediately.
OP, take this as a lesson.

^ why was this thread bumped? BUMP = "Bring Up My Post" Its not your post kid.

Well, since he bumped it, I'd like to know how the OP's lawsuit turned out.


But, somehow I imagine we're never going to hear from him about this again.

Surprise, surprise, surprise...............

For starters, it's intellectual. And secondly, were you asleep when the difference between a design patent and a copyright were JUST EXPLAINED?? It simply doesn't compare.

He has a point though...

No he doesn't. Reading > you.

why are you here again?

His dad didn't pay attention to him when he was growing up.

you want better irony?

your POS "look at me" rust mobile broke in half.

why are you here again?

Ooh, zing.

I'm not sure why he was surprised though, rusty cars fall apart and it seems like he only accelerated the process.

Stolen wheel design (intelectual property) vs. Stolen photo (intelectual property). :???:

For starters, it's intellectual. And secondly, were you asleep when the difference between a design patent and a copyright were JUST EXPLAINED?? It simply doesn't compare.

You know what I think is funny? You're going on and on about theft of intellectual property, yet you were going to them to buy unlicensed replica wheels, which are theft of intellectual property of BBS.
Take some of your own medicine.




Just sayin'




I do think its lame they used your photo in this way though.
