Copyright Troll USCG Violates Copyright

omarlittle writes "The US Copyright Group — a company owned by intellectual property lawyers, which has been in the news for threatening downloaders of the movie Hurt Locker — has apparently stolen their site from a competitor. At one point, even the competitor's phone number and copyright statement were copied word for word on USCG's 'settlement' website. The competitor is reportedly going to send a Cease & Desist."

Damn!

If only there was some group that they could hire to fight copyright violations...

Ultimate Compliment

The ultimate compliment is plagiarism. So what if it is the purpose of your company to fight against that very thing.

USCG == Coast Guard

[tekrat]

USCG stole something else as well then, their Acronym. USCG is the US COAST GUARD, not the US Copyright Group. These guys should get a clue.

I regret to inform you that I already hold the copyright on your copyright warning, and you now owe me $100,000 and a bag of jelly babies if you don't want investigated by the FBI, sent to prison for 5 years and fined $250,000.

And the jelly babies have to be green.
