Y'all, I have seen actual legal arguments about trademark violations from actual attorneys (though not IP attorneys) that weren't written and cited as well as [personal profile] synecdochic's post, goddamn.

they really should have known the one thing we know is how to bring receipts aka Trademark Law Lies and the Dudes Who Perpetuate Them.

Do you know how many fucking lawyers I've seen make hugeass mistakes? HUGE. ASS. MISTAKES!

People who get paid shittons of money to not make typos also make them. I'M JUST SAYING. A fucking typo is no big deal. That's why we have proofreaders and oh yeah also we blow shit off that's not a big deal.

He didn't even point out the typo at first as a real reason! It was so infuriating.

Yeah, I didn't even lurk -- I checked it occasionally mostly when people linked to it during scifi discussions -- but I read through a whole lot (not all!) of the comments there and I just think everyone, HIM INCLUDED, needs to apologize for getting out of hand and take a break.

Oh, I've done that, back in my commercial leasing days! Now that I'm in my corporate paralegal days, I make completely different utterly embarrassing mistakes.

I like the one about the truck drivers? who got paid extra because the lack of an Oxford comma in the contract made it seem like they were doing work that wasn't part of their agreed on job duties.

OMFG, I was tempted to ask if he was scrounging for work, but I restrained myself. Because nothing says Actual Legal Expert With a Dick like posting an unsolicited rant, pretending it's case law or something, and refusing to answer questions about it because "it depends" (people were giving you hypotheticals) and "not without getting paid"! I would have been embarrassed for him if he hadn't been so hell bent on stirring the wankpot.
