- inactive, on 09/07/2008, -2/+813I would talk to his lawyer.
A case like this would be hilarious! - inactive, on 09/07/2008, -1/+716Do the right thing and re-upload the images to the server... by uploading goatse.cx pictures with the old images' filenames. It's the only way to be sure.
- TheyHate, on 09/07/2008, -11/+6672008 is here and it doesn't give a *****
- OasisR123, on 09/07/2008, -3/+597Unfreaking-believable.
hehe, he even was lazy enough not to copy the -stolen- images to his web server. - inactive, on 09/07/2008, -42/+4811997 called it wants it's joke back
I am being completely honest I saw this joke first back in 1997 - VIJoe, on 09/07/2008, -4/+411This is like the online version of the 'wacky criminal' stories where some crackhead goes to the cops and accuses a dealer of trying to rip them off.
- inactive, on 09/07/2008, -20/+3481993 called and wanted its "[year] called and wanted its [item] back" back
- DivisibleByZero, on 09/07/2008, -1/+254"Dear Sir,
I would like to settle this matter out of court. Please find my lawyer, Mr. Goatse's business card at the following URL...." - cphoover, on 09/07/2008, -32/+275***** OLD AS *****. YES I REALIZE I'M IN ALL CAPS
- BananaGrabber, on 09/07/2008, -3/+234So...what was the reply?
- Thuktun, on 09/07/2008, -2/+197People who threaten to talk to their lawyer don't have a lawyer.
People with lawyers have the lawyers talk to you. - Lunarparcel, on 09/07/2008, -3/+179I was thrilled to learn that your illegal usage of my images was a valuable foundational asset for your business. Having hosted my own copy-written image content on my own web site, I can completely understand your concerns and frustrations in developing a thriving and successful web-based enterprise.
In helpfully alerting me to your long-standing thieving ways, along with your assertion that my work has helped you to build your own business, you have renewed my hopes that I might possibly realize viable economic returns in compensation for my efforts, and build my own successful business from my work as well.
Let's see.... I have the copy-written image content. I have the website that hosts the content..... I guess the only thing I am missing is for thieving nincomtards like yourself to pay me adequately and fairly for the use of my content. Do you have any good ideas on how I can make this happen?
Perhaps you should consult your lawyer, as you suggested. I am sure he or she might have some great ideas on how to compensate me. In fact, I think I'm going to speak to my lawyer as well. Thanks for the great tip.
Sincerely,
- - - - -
P.S. Here's your sign. - GregFD3S, on 09/07/2008, -1/+176Are people seriously this ***** retarded?
- DivisibleByZero, on 09/07/2008, -10/+152Yeah, well I slept with your wife.
- ControlcChris, on 09/07/2008, -5/+145Give me back YOUR images or i'm going to SUE.
- wontstoptalking, on 09/07/2008, -5/+144IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BROKEN TOO?
- aresgunther, on 09/07/2008, -11/+140*facepalm*
- sangres, on 09/07/2008, -6/+113wtf... give that man a stupid cake...
- urazn13, on 09/07/2008, -2/+106"Wrong email, dude, I don't own photobucket"
- cowsgonemadd3, on 09/07/2008, -1/+102Call him up and record the conversation. Post it on digg....
- WhiteIce89, on 09/07/2008, -12/+1121997 called us back.. Says Gmail wasn't around back then.
- Tenlow, on 09/07/2008, -1/+95At least the guy who owned the images didn't change them to goatse and lemonparty.
- BladeNd64, on 09/07/2008, -0/+93I would just do that to see what the "Honest business man" would say.
- lukis100, on 09/07/2008, -32/+113Old as hell...

- lukis100, on 09/07/2008, -4/+77MINE Too! Oh *****! ITS FIXED... WAIT... DAMN
- inactive, on 09/07/2008, -1/+72come on, be fair, most likely he doesn't even know what a 'web server' is.
- GliTCH82, on 09/07/2008, -6/+75At least half the country, possibly more.
- masfenix, on 09/07/2008, -2/+69I think the Digg community should help this guy write a reply.
I'll start:
Dear Honest Business Man, - inactive, on 09/07/2008, -13/+78This is older than John McCain
- RaulMuadDib, on 09/07/2008, -1/+61Post his email. I'll send him some pictures.
- doom777, on 09/07/2008, -18/+75no, you ruined it
Step 1: Call him up
Step 2: Record the conversation
Step 3: Post it on digg
Step 4: ??????
Step 5: Profit! - mpdid, on 09/07/2008, -0/+55Or rather the lawyers assistants writes a letter that sounds 'lawyerish' prints it on letterhead and waits for the lawyer to sign it without looking at it.
- tobymikle, on 09/07/2008, -0/+531708 here, what in the blue blazes are you chaps on about?...
- soupdawg30, on 09/07/2008, -0/+52No, but he should now.
- Lith25, on 09/07/2008, -7/+56MINES NOT!
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL! - SpectreFire, on 09/07/2008, -0/+48What if the guy's business is the sale of goatse related memorabilia?
- dace86, on 09/07/2008, -3/+50THAT ... WOULD .... BE ... RAD!!!!
- SuburbianMike, on 09/07/2008, -4/+50idiot
- kelmaster1, on 09/07/2008, -2/+47He's one of those retards that probably bought into the "Start a internets business, make millions!" infomercials. I almost feel sorry for these people.
- RobotKeaton, on 09/07/2008, -4/+49If it were your images he was using, then this email would've been sent to you. Which makes it bizarre that you're reacting now.
- inactive, on 09/07/2008, -5/+48Please do not call your lawyer. I have attached the pictures you need to this email. They are saved as goatse.jpg. Thank you for your patience.
- inactive, on 09/07/2008, -5/+44REMEMBER, KIDS: CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE-CONTROL FOR COOL!
