I know that...

But hacking = cracking according to your so-wonderful Patriot Act Legistration (thank your senators for that one... you could get sentenced to death for this little deed).


Walking the fine line of selling parody item is a tricky one. If you want to do it, then fine. I just wanted to help you by giving you fair warning...

The courts haven't made up their decision in this sector. The first example they couldn't make up their mind. The second example, they said no infringement. The third example, they said infringement. The lesson here is that "Parody" won't always work in court. It works when money isn't involved. But when money is.... that's a different question.

Though, you shouldn't worry about this at all. I'm sure the profits you make are far less than RadioShack's legal fees.


But anyways... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get this thread off topic...



*edit* Bad judgement on my part... wrong joke to soften the mood.
