Well you just took all the fun out of that controversy. Now we can't speculate.

What is the nerd equivalent of a mic drop?

I'd say Wookie drop but nobody wants a bent Wookie.

One thing I forgot to mention:

So U of U tried to sue him for putting Steve Tate in the dirt?

You should let him back on the condition he changes his name to FutureLitigant Or FutureDefendant

I think you should add the classifieds back. Especially now that the user base

I get it, but I also feel like part of this is your bitterness for FutureAD

Now that is funny.

I wondered if he had paid licensing fees.

Congrats Brigham. You have been promoted from Gumshoe to Jr. Detective.

Thanks. I've never been promoted before!

I would love a similar summary about "NJerseyCoug and Friends"

I miss that guy. He was a riot.

Here's a link to the real future AD discussion:

* "for sell"

Isn't it illegal to sell trademarked merchandise? He shouldn't be allowed to.

I don't know, but FutureAD posted this to his facebook page that indicates that

cheezedawg

4/16/16 4:06pm

i also find it ironic that the schools can sue, but not the players?

ds7

4/16/16 8:42pm

The player could definitely sue, but the players don't have licensing watchdogs

shimmy

4/17/16 2:54pm

i doubt it...it isn't a "likeness" of the player...it's just a generic face...

ds7

4/17/16 3:44pm

Well what would I know, I just do this for a living.

shimmy

4/17/16 4:03pm

what if you left the name off the jersey?

ds7

4/17/16 4:31pm

Are you really breaking down cyberpiracy and adwords precedent? That is some

shimmy

4/17/16 4:35pm

ok, i'll spell it out for you...if you leave the name off the jersey...

ds7

4/17/16 4:44pm

Is that what FutureAD is doing? Generic photos of non descript BYU players?

Runs With Scissors

4/17/16 4:46pm

Of course not, but ds7 has to pretend he knows what he is talking about and he

shimmy

4/17/16 4:56pm

yes...he's taking pieces from NFL figurines and painting them up to look

ds7

4/17/16 5:07pm

My word. This is a parody, right?

shimmy

4/17/16 5:13pm

GUYS GUYS GUYS, COME LOOK AT THE TISSUE BOX HE USED AS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING

shimmy

4/17/16 5:15pm

Yeah, he actually did post a link to some details on the case.

El Jefe

4/17/16 7:31pm

it basically gets into the minutia of selling on ebay...

ds7

4/17/16 7:38pm

He posted a link to a motion in support. Of course they are saying they

shimmy

4/17/16 7:43pm

It was a motion by the plaintiff, posted in the "hall of shame" on the defendant's site.

El Jefe

4/17/16 10:08pm

It was an opposition brief from the Defendant (MLB). The case settled.

shimmy

4/17/16 10:20pm

Oh, I get your problem. You're focussing just on the number. Good thing that

I just saw you put up the KVN and Unga pictures. Do you think that them both

shimmy

4/17/16 4:46pm

yes...i'm saying...no matter what something is advertised as...how could

ds7

4/17/16 5:00pm

Wait. Are you saying that listing the item as Harvey UNga or KVN wouldn't matter

cougfanblue

4/17/16 5:16pm

i'm questioning whether harvey unga "could sue" for misuse of his likeness...

ds7

4/17/16 5:17pm

Oh. You think the futureAD figurines aren't in the likeness of the players? Well

shimmy

4/17/16 5:21pm

are they enough of a likeness where the player could sue?

ds7

4/17/16 5:24pm

Oh my gosh. Have you read any of his posts? Are you just trolling now?

cougfanblue

4/17/16 5:25pm

I'm sure he read the posts. He just didn't comprehend the posts. It's a

4/17/16 5:33pm

Harvey doesn't own BYU #45. The only one who said anything about that was you

Except the ea sports games weren't necessarily likenesses either.
