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

TO PROVE SOMETHING!!! IN A LIKENESS CASE HE USED A PICTURE OF A TISSUE BOX COVER!!!!

(btw, you think the Yankees couldn't sue for that? there are only a million cases about it so I'm sure you familiarized yourself with one before you posted what you did.)

I'm going to try to put everything about the FutureAD fiasco all together in one post:

Shouldn't that be TMBW;DR?

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?

shimmy

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?

darkcoug

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

Superkid

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.

shimmy

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.

What you meant to say was "I miss those guys. He was a riot."

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

* "for sell"

deja-blu

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

Sherlock

4/16/16 1:27pm

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

shimmy

4/17/16 5:33pm

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

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

EA literally used the exact same image to represent thousands of players in some

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