    Nutter overreacts[^] A story of one man's attempt to protect his copyright on the internet, and one woman's massive overreaction to being caught stealing his work.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

    Ok that's "a bit" over the top. But if I were in her shoes, I would have suspected foul play too.

      Nice to see copyright law being used in favour of the little guy for once. And that's a hilarious (from a third party perspective) overreaction – if she'd just asked for permission to use the image in the first place for such a cause I'm sure she'd have got it.

        If you were in her shoes you probably would be busy not breaking your legs or not landing on your nose :)

            Or she could have just walked out that evening with her iPhone (I'm sure she has one) and snapped a pic herself.

              Poor guy. If only he put a watermark, it might've prevented it.

              Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

                This assumes that the lady got the photo directly from Jay's blog. She may have obtained it second of third hand.

                    you are depriving disabled children of free legal help then emergency call came in from a very disabled client needing help and it is substantial as to time/effort/predicted fees non-profit :confused: also it appears she works for a rival Houston newspaper as a columnist (from her LinkedIn profile): "Houston Small Business Columnist at The Examiner"
