Default Re: Get\'em Greg!

Am I the only person here who sees the simple solution of emailing a saved copy of the page and the link to the original to Burger King's corporate counsel? You may not be able to get a dime out of him, but at least someone can make him miserable.

Haven't you seen those shirts that say "Drama Queen" in the Dairy Queen logo? I'm assuming those are fine.

That's what I was thinking also when the issue was first mentioned; I've seen many shirts just like the one in this ebay auction (although most of them were at least somewhat humorous). However, I couldn't find any legal info about them - for all I know every single one with a significant production run could've been sued into oblivion.

This is the key. Some dude selling a half-dozen shirts on eBay may fly below their radar. Advertise them nationally during WPT and it'll be a whole other issue.

Getting away with it on a small level does not mean it is legally allowed -- and even if it were, if Burger King wanted, they have enough money to destroy him if they were "wrong."
