What’s the point of any of our posts? And Patrick Gavin seems to believe we have a right to be in the TLA publisher program so we don’t need a reason.

Now, so except for publishing the errtic back & forth between you and that new hire and TLA – what’s the point of your post?

I understand you are pissed about Jonathan’s answers, but still you have no reason to believe that you have a RIGHT to be in the TLA publisher program, or?

John Cow, you are turning out to be of the latest Internet Phenomenon, do you know that ? One more example of why controversy gets you maximum exposure…

This whole thing is too funny. There is no copyright infringement on your part.

You could end up owning TLA, if you get a good lawyer that will take the case on contingency.

One might be tempted to write this off as the “Cow” bringing this one on himself. However, I think a fair number of us suspected the “lawsuit” was a stunt.

The real kicker is this, just where is this copy that was infringed upon? John Chow’s blog looks like any number of other blog templates out there, so that really cannot be claimed. The site is clearly a parody, which pretty much eradicates any weak claim about “look and feel” or similar sounding names. Furthermore, credit has been given and no known DMCA was issued in this matter.

Finally, reading the content and comparing the two sites for more than 5 minutes yields no similarities in terms of actual written copy. Although, this blog seems to offer a consistently higher quality “value” than John Chow.

TLA looks foolish in this matter for not applying any common sense or rationale thought to the matter.

Just got my TLA check today. I got a nice $25 for an affiliate referral as well. Completely forgot about that. Need to push that more now.

I am in love with TLA. At first it started out with 3 links and then almost every other week or so i get a new e-mail. This month I’ve sold another 2 links. I’m up to 6 and some good extra cash.

Now if only Adwords accepted Paypal.
