The rocket donkey is really named colleen? Who knew.


That is such typical lawyer BS and they wonder why people tell jokes about them.

Google image results and stock photos are two different things. :bang:

Maybe a tax lawyer...Sheez. Clearly knows nothing of intellectual property, in addition to not knowing how to get a digital pic off her camera.

She is definitely using your copyrighted photo without permission for her own rather direct monetary gain. About as clear an infringement as there is, and as others have said pretty slimy all around, even though she does have a big disclaimer in the description now. Whose surprised she is a lawyer?

May not be worth the trouble, but seems that you would win, and she would have a possibly expensive lesson in copyright law.

It's not worth it to me. What comes around, goes around. Besides, I was just concerned for the guys bidding on it more that copyright laws.

 

[dragrcr]

I dont think it is even about copyright or anything like that, she/he should have responded to the first one of us that confronted her about the picture by appologising, and then making it MORE THAN CLEAR in the acution description that the pic was not the saw she was selling. if that had happened I think the OP would have left it at that.

ETA.... ehhh well i guess you type faster than me stink.

I'm at about 65 words per minute. Learning to type the right way was one of the best things that I ever did.

I have had the same thing happen to me on e-bay, twice. I sold an item, then about 2 weeks later I seen my picture on there. This happened once before. I never contacted the seller or e-bay. My sister (the e-bay queen) has been selling ever since e-bay first started. The first time she had one of her pictures used, she contacted a lawyer, she worked at a legal firm. The lawyer said it was legal for them to use the picture. It sucks people are to lazy or to sneaky to use there own picture. I have not read the entire thread yet, but we should all ask a ton of questions and bug the :censoredut of her!

 

[Philbert]

You will see people on e-Bay that have their name 'watermarked' across the photograph to identify and 'protect' it. But that does not help photos taken from other places on the web.

I see nothing wrong with posting a photo and saying something like, "looks like this (not actual photo)". But this posting implied that it was 'the saw on the right' with the bar and chain removed. That is misleading.

I wonder what she makes per hour. I bet we can "cost" her more than she gets for the saw.

I just asked her about her saw.This is fun

 

[Vibes]

Just did a Yahoo search of this lawyer and nothing came up. Someone should try a Martindale Hubbel legal directory search. This broad might not even be a lawyer.

Philbert[/QUOTE]

i noticed that too, bingo! "not being sold with the bar and chain shown in the photo", hello? no mea culpa on that one.
post a link of her ebay add to her local bar association and see what her 'peer review' thinks !

 

[nmurph]

claims to be defense attorney: zero credibility either way.

 

[Arrowhead]

If any of you are intrested in the saw, I just asked her if the muffler bushing was tight or loose! :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[MotorSeven]

I got the same response:
Hi there,

"THANK YOU for your interest in my chainsaw listing. Unfortunately, I am sorry that I CAN NOT transfer photos from my digital camera to my computer as it states that I have "low disc space." I am a Defense Attorney, not a Computer Programmer/Wiz. Obviously, it would have been MUCH EASIER since my time is valuable, to take my own photos vs. sorting through pages on "GOOGLE IMAGES" to find one that BEST REPRESENTS my saw. The saw in the "GOOGLE IMAGES" photo is the EXACT MAKE, MODEL & CONDITION of the saw that I am selling and is for reference purposes only. This is simply what the saw it looks like as a visual tool for those who are not chainsaw enthusiasts or collectors. I have since REVISED my listing(s)! I did NOT intend to deceive or mislead you deliberately or inadvertently as this is the EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER AS THE SAW THAT IS LISTED.I AM NOT "KNOWINGLY ADVERTISING A PRODUCT OR SERVICES THAT DO/DOES NOT EXIST OR FUNCTION AS REPRESENTED NOR, AM I MISREPRESENTING THE SAW, THE MAKE, THE MODEL NUMBER,ITS CHARACTERISTICS, QUALITIES, SERVICES or FUNCTIONABILITY" et, al.in any way whatsoever. I assure you that I am NOT "deliberately deceiving, defrauding, cheating or "tricking" you or anyone in order to secure unfair or unlawful gains" with my $9.99 listing!! I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Your discomfort in choosing NOT bid is certainly understandable. If I was able to do so I would but as previously mentioned, I can NOT transfer photos at this time therefore, I wish you success in continuing your chainsaw search. Colleen Bollander, Esq.

Wait a min...a defense attorney that has no way to upload a photo??? Are you kidding?? I'm calling BS on this Miz Bollander.

Dear Ms. Bollander Esq, DVD, VHS, QVC:
Could you please mail me a few pictures of the saw since you are unable to post them? I have paypal'd you the price of 1 first class stamp for the postage. If the pictures arrive before the auction ends, perhaps I would consider making a bid on your pseudo-saw.

Sincerely,

RGUIM007 saw.

This is gettin good. opcorn:

 

[stihlboy]

This could get messy lol

Dear Ms. Bollander Esq,

From what i understand this is a somewhat rare saw, so assuming I win this listing and do not recieve the saws listed in the main picture you will have committed false advertising. Correct? Therefore allowing me to rovoke payment, give negative feedback, report you to E-bay and have you denied any other listings in the future. So with this being said I hope you have a wonderful day and I look forward to recieving these saws

Sincerely
Mtdman33
