^ No problem. It happens when someone have to type 4 big paragraphs

Ya I’m gonna type less, never get responses haha… i think you guys just scan my comment and see “digitalscience says…blah blah ..reptilians.. blah blah ..something about eating a pigeon.. blah blah ..OMG 5 paragraphs.. blah blah .. definitely off topic.. blah blah” ....”OK NEXT comment.. oooh someone posted a meme to illustrate their current mood towards a previous comment”

I know a guy whos name is actually John Doe… he should be making millions, lol.

Is the botox became that so expensive in the USA?

... Don’t think that just because there aren’t a lot of customers commenting here that they aren’t reading what you write.

Some have no idea how much this is true…

@ the OP: Unfortunately, at least in the U.S. – you are technically in the wrong on this one.

Use of someone’s name without their express permission for a commercial application is commercial exploitation and is a tort. It effectively gives an impression of endorsement:

It’s also sandwiched in with what’s referred to as the “right of publicity”

Be careful.

If this is true Ken Burns needs some magic mushrooms, females and a virgin galactic ticket.

so any word from that lawyer yet?

I’m wonder when kim dotcom will start suing all the people who have a .com website. Good news is that the marketplace is safe

Lawyers don’t send emails, they send PAPER….................

This morning i received the most strange email that i could have ever received.. I don’t think that it’s a joke, because it contains signed paper and all the stuff..

It’s from a laywer who says that my file “Slideshow with Ken Burns Effect” is in direct violation with some New York City laws.. Apparently i made bad use of the guy’s name in advertising my product..what?! Well…there are dozens of files on AD with the exact same name so i have to remove any associations with it’s name and make a public statement that i am not affiliated with KB by the end of next week, to avoid a lawsuit..

Anyway .. i just wanted to share this with you guys because i think that it can be something that we all can learn about from.. The funny thing is that i wanted to remove that file sometime soon, since it doesn’t produce any revenue anymore..

Did Ken end the email with… p.s. you just got burned .. ?
