  Does your club serve beverages? I'd be willing to hate Mike for a nice hoppy IPA. I'll even burn Techdirt in effigy for a case of Zombie Dust....

  How is it NOT egotistical to interject yourself and personal issues w/Mike and/or Techdirt in the comments of an article that has ZERO to do with you?

  Re: Oi! Techdirt writers.

  "So, why are you addressing ALL Europeans when you mean to only address the Brits and Irish?"
  
  Because most of us are American. We do geography the way we do healthy eating; which is to say, not at all....
  
  In any case: sorry Europe. Hopefully this afront doesn't lead to embassy riots....

  What difference does any of that make? We believe in free and open speech, in the sanctity of having an opinion (even if it's a momumentally stupid one).

  Re: Re: Re: Answer from Wild's attorney

  And now I see why. That was a Techdirt reader pasting the response from elsewhere, not the lawyer showing up in the comments, so we both got that one wrong.
  
  Apologies!

  "I wonder how many billable hours went into writing this rebuttle."
  
  Hopefully not many, considering this is a copy/pasted form response he's sent to other sites already.

  Re: Answer from Wild's attorney

  First, thanks for showing up and for your comment, although it's probably worth noting that this site writes a great deal about trademark law.
  
  Simple question: since trademark is chiefly about avoiding customer confusion, and in fact reports suggest that INTENTIONAL confusion is what your client is alledging HarpCo is engaging in (which I find laughable), would you care to point me to the written-word novel that Mr. Wild has released under his trademarked series name? I can only seem to find comics (graphic novels), and unless there's an actual book, this doesn't pass the moron in a hurry test.
  
  Additionally, while you may claim that the C&D letters were only meant to inform sites of his trademark, that could've been done in simple writing. C&D letters are by definition a threat of legal action. The C&D letters he/you sent accuse those sites of infringement (falsely) and demanded a takedown (which they aren't obligated to do). They are backed by the threat of legal action. So, unless you and/or Wild are going to apologize and say you never should have sent those C&Ds to begin with, I don't know that you've added much on that front....

  Re: Re: Re:

  Ok, since you apparently were busy pooping yourself when you read my first comment, I'll try again to see if you can manage an actual response this time:
  
  Under this system the courts have fined the alledgedly negligent guy for the infringement committed by his wife, who received ZERO fine. Care to try to again explain to me how this system is not batshit crazy?

  Re:

  "And you're making the intellectually dishonest suggestion that he's somehow innocent while you admit that what he got convicted of is in fact illegal."
  
  Break this down for me: his wife infringed, he was hit with a fine, his wife was not.
  
  Explain how that makes any fucking sense....

  Ex Wife

  Are the French more pleasent than the US when it comes to divorces? My first thought when reading this was "why did the soon to be ex wife decide to come in to support this guy?"
  
  Although, perhaps she saw all this coming and decided to come in and proudly announce she was the infringer just so she could laugh her tits off when her ex husband was fined?
