yes Four Freedoms Plaza
here you will see a real time reaction of DTK’s comment.
as well as everyone else’s reactions.
I am disapoint.
Oh ho!– look who just recently had a Wikipedia installed at his house!
Internet Arguing Pro Tip: An hour-long gap between comments to come up with a three sentence response kindasorta gives it away that you weren’t exactly spooling that off the top of your head. Nobody likes a poser.

The only one I can remember off the top of my head is the Choco-Pa rap from Tonde Buurin.
Shhh… there’s a chance TexasUberAlles will rap
We’ll also need spurred cowboy boots on everyone, Texas state-shaped hubcaps on those Ford F150s, neon backlights, and plenty of suspension.
If those trucks don’t bounce at least 10 feet off the ground, someone’s gettin’ Texas back-alley capped.
Band together, hire a lawyer, go after the company. Much of the damages payments that major corporations pay out regarding their illegal activities is done through settlements large enough that they prevent a lawsuit from reaching the court. Due to the shear size of the Legal Shrink/Damages/Compliance departments in organizations with multi-billion dollar revenues, taking the settlement money almost always goes unnoticed.
I’ll be willing to front 5000USD towards refusing the settlement and continuing towards going to court. It’s hardly much, but at least I’m willing to do this much.
OK, I’ll come back for one more question. What, exactly, do you propose we do?
Silence! Tex is the one I want to hear rap.
Straight out of El Rancho Vela and I’m hear to say
it’s time to prop some copyright in a major way
And there has to be sexy cowgirls in bouncing Ford F150s with Confederate dollars raining down in the background, or I’m not listening.
Actually, it’s discussing the need to take action against the company, not the man.
I’ve got the 10 gallon hat, all I need to do is figure out how to rap while silently listening to someone’s take on a subject.
How did this thread go from listing off the dick moves of a cartoonist, to analyzing just how dick those moves were, to analyzing the potential for action from Hasbro against said moves of dick, to a quick derail, and then abruptly to discussing the need to take action against the man?

Certainly, you must be an intellectual property lawyer. I would like to hear your take on the implied license doctrine and how it applies to the issues of trademark law implementation, as opposed to copyright law implementation.
Personally, I disagree with the use of cases such as ASM v. Gagnon to determine the legality of actions taken by businesses against nonprofit individuals and organizations. I’m sure you’ll agree with West in its indication of the case as defining implied contracts, but the implicit contract for an organization lacking revenue has never been established, and seems to still remain solely in the purview of cases lacking consideration.
This is a long-standing issue stemming from human rights abuses from the American recording industry since the 1960s. It culminated in most recording studios worldwide adopting a systemic policy of either inhibiting or outright violating freedom of speech in any and all countries where they operate.
Sony Music, Universal Music, and Disney all comprise the largest violators, with Disney oftentimes suing news organizations that don’t submit drafts of their articles to Disney for approval before mentioning the company’s name.
The problem has become so far-reaching that an increasing number of Millennials believe that it is illegal to criticize someone without their express consent. Disney has become so powerful that criticizing it in some countries would result in your death, with most other countries resulting in simple prison time.
The war over freedom of speech may have been lost many years ago, but that doesn’t mean that the principles of it aren’t worth fighting for.
Hasbro, Inc. remains one of the few companies in existence that would actually be capable of being engaged in a court case that would finally determine whether freedom should receive its final nail in the coffin, or if there really is a fighting chance.
Alright, settle down there V. You might be taking this a wee bit too seriously, and this is coming from a guy who dropped like, 50 comments in this thread analyzing the semantics of one dick-weed cartoonist.
You should maybe bother to learn, say… anything at all about how copyright law and trademark law work in the U.S. before plantin’ a flag about it. Also even a basic understanding of how corporate legal departments and the third party law firms that do most of their day-to-day boilerplate work would probably help.
The TL;DR version is that life is not like a comic book and there is no Brotherhood Of Evil Corporate Mutants in colorful spandex outfits for you to punch with your Truth And Justice Fist. Also, equating “can’t play a cartoon horse fighting game” with “assault on human rights” kinda makes you sound like that annoying fanboy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who ended up as a mutated pile of goo with a brain and eyeballs floating in it.
You’re absolutely right. The community needs to grow the hell up and get a pair of balls. Most of the measures Finigan has taken against fanworks are illegal under US law. Someone needs to stand up against this assault on human rights.
Dials 102 for the Ukraine Police Force.
Kidnaps the 101 Dalmatians.
Is “growing the hell up” one of those measures? ’Cuz I think that might fix a lot of other “problems” at the same time.
We’re talking about Barbara Finigan and what measures to take against Hasbro, Inc.’s legal department.

O-kay then; I’m outta here.
