T-shirt Hell Shutting Down

[shecky]

If you give credit to the original and quote it you can. Didn't they teach that in any journalism classes?

Sure they did. I just have ethical issues with posting somebody else's material, credit given or not. Call it me being a hardass after having my stuff lifted on more occasions than I care to count.

Ok, fair enough. Just wanted to give you **** that you could do it. But more out of curiosity than anything why would someone have a problem with it along as proper credit was given?

Well, simply because I am paid by one entity to do my stuff. When other entities use it, I don't see a dime. It's sort of like the Metallica argument with napster. It's my work. I did it for my paper, not for anybody else.

Just a personal issue.

 

[dataz722]

ahhhh gotcha! I never thought about the getting paid for it aspect, just the mental property side.

Here it is in a nutshell; "I wasn't ever going to leave and you suckers fell for my 'going out of business sale', thanks for the cash infusion!"

T-Shirt Hell : Newsletter: February 16th 2009

Wow, doesn't this open him up for a false advertisement lawsuit?

 

[dataz722]

How it is false advertising. He didn't say he would give you something then not. Its like the furniture stores that have 2 year going out of business sales.

 

[imaguitargod]

Well, he was advertising that he was going out of buisness and it was you last chance to get shirts which caused people to rush and buy them.

If it isn't false advertising...we'll just call him a lier...

 

[Madman]

Seems like it would fall under some kind of BBB provision.

 

[dataz722]

There is a TON of stuff very unethical and nonPC but nothing illegal. That may border on something but I will give it to the guy. That was brilliant. And who knows, maybe he is lying, maybe he really was planning on closing but changed his mind and just doesn't want to admit it.

 

[DeathBrewer]

I doubt it. They're just ****ing with everybody. That's what they're good at.

 

[Kass_Brauhaus]

I don't think he cares if the BBB gives Tshirt hell a poor rating...just sayin.

Yeah, saw that today and thought immediately of this thread and the bajillion dollar bet...good call.

 

[DeathBrewer]

lol, yeah...good thing i never shook on it, eh?

 

[maltMonkey]

it's such a burden being right all the time.....

 

[Evan!]

I had forgotten about that place. Good for them...they piqued my interest again! A few awesome ones...
