Being Stupid And Litigious: Or Stoopid is as Stoopid Does

The cost of fame and success is lawyers coming to take it away from you any way they can. In America we have the most lame and ridiculous tort system around. We should bring back stoning and line them up.

Being Stupid And Litigious Is No Way To Go Through Life: "Here’s the problem: we never used that image of Ashton Kutcher on any of our websites. The one image we did use (in this post) was supplied by Ooma (Kutcher is the creative director for Ooma), and Ooma says they own that image.

The problem turns out to be that if you do a search on Google (or “the Google” as Figueroa calls it), the image in question appears at the top of the results and is linked to TechCrunch. Why? Well we did some digging and it turns out that someone linked to the image in a comment to one of our posts.

I explained all of this to Figueroa on the phone but he insisted that Google bought us and that we need to remove the image from Google immediately. Sadly, Google has not acquired us, and I have no easy method for removing images from Google’s servers."
