The reporter has made the following comment:
My name is Doug Brown and I'm writing in regards to someone pretending to be me in the forums and posting preposterous things pretending to be me, letters to Jamie Thomas? I mean crazy stuff. So any how I do skate for a living and this is slander and I do have a lawyer and will look into how to pursue this issue to protect my rep and my sponsors. I hope you respect my position and understand where I am coming from. Please remove the posting. When it comes to bogus letters and ridiculous fake letters, and people taking my copy written photos and add things I have to get involved. Regards, Doug Brown www.dougbrownskate.com
1. Mr. Brown, all of us here know Beeda isn't you. Well, except for you I guess.
2. Slander? You're kidding, right? Even if it was slander, any lawyer you approach will tell you that slander is one of the toughest types of legal fights to take to court. Just ask your lawyer.
3. Copyrights on your photos... when used in satire or review are completely fair to post since they fall under the
Fair Use doctrine. Nobody is keeping you from getting paid, nor is anyone making money off of your stuff. They're making fun of you.
