I would like to think that's a joke, but these days I can't doubt it...things really have gotten that terminally stupid.
Yes they have. A New Orleans lawyer and some fans apparently filed suit against the NFL because the refs missed a pass interference call at 1:40 left in the NFC championship game. If they called it, the Saints could have won instead of losing in OT. Then the Saints would have gone to the Super Bowl, where they would have been stomped by the Patriots instead of the Rams.

I'm no expert on the subject of IP and copyright stuff, but why would someone get a cease and desist letter for copying a product label and sticking it on a jar lid?
gerryp, I'm afraid you have the particulars a bit skewed. THE C&D went out to a website that used our tin art, without asking us, as part of their label printing template service. We always welcome individuals to copy our tin art for their own personal use.
It serves NO positive purpose and COULD be negative. No big company would ever allow one of its executives to engage the way you have.
alan73, this may be why Standard Tobacco has been so damned successful. We're not a big company. We're not even a small company. We have no employees. None of us are paid, including the lawyer. So however you think a tobacco company should be run, probably doesn't apply to us. But if you think that we're going about it all wrong, you are welcome to have a go at it yourself and start your own tobacco company. I just don't want to tell you how you should go about it, that would be far too presumptuous of me.

Woods: never saw anything but positive stuff out of you guys until recently. Then, there have been numerous accusations directed at seemingly innocent people. A tone of hostility runs through many of the posts. This new tone you and condor take towards people will not make your business better, that I am certain. Will it hurt your company? Probably not, but it’s still unnecessary and really beneath your whole team. Note I didn’t see Sykes publicly posting , he just took care of business.. To each is own. bash people, accuse people, post the letter, etc. whatever.

Your labels are awesome milehighpiper! One might think that a company could post graphics of their tin art so us simpletons could have a representation of the "tin" art we like so much. Well heck, if we had a good graphic to transfer through our printer... we could make stickers for our tool boxes! Then we wouldn't need the fda warning on them cause we wouldn't have tobacco in our... wait... shit! I have tobacco in my tool box. Well, you get the idea. It would be something to have any company that welcomes the copying of their tin art for our own personal use to post it on this forum... then we could print stickers to put on our... anything for personal use. I have to admit that pirate cake sticker is pretty bad ass, and would look awesome on my hard hat!...

Very skillful.... to write a paragraph that is cocky, arrogant, condescending and sarcastic with such ease.

Excellent penmanship. Even Shakespeare, who was somewhat quoted earlier, would be proud.

It's good to have friends who can make labels.
And from such an innocuous topic some wonderful social psychopathy just somehow blooms. Reading this thread is like reading the committee in your head. It's part of the special kumbaya that keeps PM constantly engaging and unique.
So in honor of this, here are some very healthy Celtic Women, stuffed into the ugliest costumes imaginable, singing Amazing Grace:

UCowboy, Well, considering your vast contributions revolve around the lid pictures, I'd say yours. Have at it. Whine, moan and throw a pity party. Just don't forget salve for your butthurt.

A lot of killjoys on this site... Anyone else ever notice that?
I have indeed noticed that...but I just keep telling myself the mods are a necessary evil.
