As an entrepreneur, I don't want to spend that $450 either, but I especially don't want to have to spend more later. I'm going to send a C&D and stop thinking about it. There's very little downside to sending one but a potentially big downside for not sending one. I'd do this if I were big, medium, or small.
If that makes me a dick, well, I'll cop to it, I guess!
Actually, I'll say personally that I'd first ask them politely via email and follow up with a C&D if they refused, but in a world where there were dozens of such things happening at any given moment, I'd no longer think it worth my time to ask each and everyone personally and just ask my attorneys to handle it. My point was that Tumblr's behavior was not outrageous, IMO.
Alas, I'm obviously in the minority on this.
- DannyBee 13y ago" My point was that Tumblr's behavior was not outrageous, IMO." So, I guess we'll agree to disagree. The fact that it may be more commonplace today does not make it less outrageous. Outrageousness does not depend on how common something is, but society's view of it. To paraphrase an example from another ongoing thread as an example: If every airline starting throwing passengers out of the plane randomly, that doesn't make it less outrageous simply because it happens a lot.
