  - yeah, aholes used to hang out in front of this check cashing place in San Fran and mug people they saw getting western union transfers, they'd do it.. - zeitgeist Jun 17, 11:34
  - No, I gave it to the seller, and he accepted it. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:25 9
    - But you dropped the goods to save your ass because the seller was being attacked. I don't think you have any recourse. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 17, 11:26 8
      - I mostly playing devil's advocate here and wondering what I would do if I were the seller.....not my fault, I got attacked...hmmm, however I do still - CrankYanker Jun 17, 11:31 3
        
        In the past when I was selling and was going to be attacked, I messaged the buyer and pulled the goods out of the market. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:34 2
        
        Not everyone is as conscientous and considerate as SLACK. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 17, 11:39 1
        
        True. Like I said, if he fought the guy off he may very well still have the glass, since it says I left with what I had loaded. - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:43
      - Well, it depneds. If the goods stay with the seller, than yes. If they are dumped into the sea, than no. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:30

        The beauty here is I get to attack him if I do not like his response. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:35
        
        Yes, I want one too. I would love to put down a few C/S reps AND their managers. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 17, 11:29
- I had that happen once, isn't KOP at war? what do you expect, if the guy had cargo boats available you could have been looted -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 11:18 1
  - Well, as I had never heard of it before this, I did not expect it. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:19
- Weird. Never seen that before. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 11:13 4
  - very strange. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 17, 11:14 3
    - And cool. -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 11:15 2
      - I agree but I'd still be pissed if I didn't get back the difference. - Krusty Jun 17, 11:20 1
        
        I look forward to his response. - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:22
- I bet the KoP guy doesn't have the glass, whoever attacked him does. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 11:13
i'm not encouraging naked infringement but where would Warhol be if he hadn't arguably infringed on Campbell's trademark? - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 11:08 12
- Oh shit! -- (link) - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 11:21 [Image]

lir JenBro - I just said you "liked" that portion of the video, didn't mean to infer that you agreed with it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 17, 11:06 1
- right right - I totally got what you meant but if others hadn't watched the full video they might not - JenBro Jun 17, 11:16
Work of Art continued - peglegpete Jun 17, 11:05 1

- It's up now. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 11:06

- Bless you -- nm - Boyd Jun 17, 11:03

    - did you do a chocolate course? -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 11:10 5
      - Yeah, I opted for one that was not part of the "special" - we could sub anything we wanted - I picked the bananas foster one, with milk chocolate - kelly Jun 17, 11:15 1
        
        I've never had a white chocolate fondue. I think you chose wisely. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 11:19
      - We were actually so stuffed by then that it really didn't matter. - Will Hunting Jun 17, 11:11 2

sucka mc's -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:59
Loosi, you comment starts that there are SW characters in your mural. did the slow artist do them, and not you? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:59 28

        She's being paid to paint a kid room. They want sci-fi, the kids specifically wanted Star Wars. But she won't paint them due to copyright - Jim Jun 17, 11:04 19
        
        If it can't go in my portfolio, the kids can go fuck themselves. -- nm - loosey Jun 17, 11:07 1
        
        hee -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:07
        
        She wants to be able to include the mural in her professional portfolio. Can't do that if it contains the SW characters. - TWuG Jun 17, 11:06 13
        
        Sure...at the same time, someone is paying you to do a job for them. They're not paying her to update her portfolio. - Jim Jun 17, 11:08 8
        
        I explained it to them, they were cool with it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:11 6
        
        At least put generic dudes with laser swords in it and shit. Lucas doesn't own the idea of laser swords. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 11:12 5
        
        He owns just about every other concept related to it (Droid phone) -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 11:12 4
        
        Wait, so the word "androids" has been around for centuries, but because Lucas called them "'droids," he can copywright it? Wow. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:21 3
        
        Yes. That's entirely because of Disney. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:23 1
        
        (the whole USPTO/copyright stuff is completely insane) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:23
        
        Trademarked not copyrighted. -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 11:22
        
        agrees with this, assuming its correct. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 11:08
        
        Then she shouldn't do the mural. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:07 3
        
        everyone came to an agreement about the mural. everyone is happy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:12
        
        Bit late for that. - TWuG Jun 17, 11:09 1
        
        it was post-hiring, yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:13
