Just Got a Cease And Desist!

by D.J. Paris on June 8, 2012

I don’t really know much about Germans except from what I have seen lampooned on television.  I think when I was 18 we went to Germany on a trip I took with my high school french class.  It might have just been Switzerland though.  I really don’t remember.

A few months back I did an interview where I was asked where I get my images for blog posts.  I was honest and said that I swipe them from Google Images.  Technically, this is stealing.  But… tons of bloggers do it, and I’m not really using it for financial gain.  You could make the argument I have advertisers and that I sort of benefit from theft, but it’s reaching.

Since that interview I found a solution where I can still use great images online and give the proper attribution making this all above board.

But, I still had a few hundred images out there that were not properly attributed, nor did I have permission to post them.

Some German dick found one of his!

I act on behalf of Mr. F—— Knieper, Schlachte, 2—- Bremen, Germany (the “Owner”), who is responsible for the website located at xxxxx.

  1. The Owner is the exclusive owner of the copyrights to respective photographs that are made available to the public without his – the Owner’s – authorization.
  2. Please immediately remove the infringing material from the website and also from your server.
  3. I have a good faith belief that the use of the infringing material is not authorized by the Owner, its agents or the law. I assure you that the information in this Notice of Copyright Infringement is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that I am authorized to act on behalf of the Owner.

Should you require any further information regarding this matter, please contact me:
T—– Knieper

Okay, fine.  I went to take down the image.  And then I started laughing.  You have to see this.

Click here for the offending photo since I can’t post it on my site anymore due to the German dick.

Yes.  Oh God, yes.

By the way, I’m pretty sure that site isn’t supposed to have it up either.  I wonder if Knieper is busting their balls, too.

I nearly wrote back and said, “Sir, that is my weenie.  I grinded it, encased it, and just had to film the shit out of it.  Those are my snaps.  How dare you accuse me of treachery?  I hope you choke on your next kielbasa!”

It’s stuff like this that keeps me writing every day.  God I love it.

I lived in Germany for seven years. They take their sausages VERY seriously! Just go to a swimming pool there, and the ubiquitous banana hammocks make clear their adoration of their sausages. Perhaps if you’d used Photoshop to put that sausage in a Speedo, they might have been more understanding.

 @litwitlia I feel like outside of a few car companies, the world could do with a lot less Germany.  Am I wrong?

 @delfinparis Well, they do brew great beer. Oh, and there’s Oktoberfest and the general German obsession with anything to do with beer and its consumption. We could do without Hitler, sausage Nazis, and worship of David Hasselhoff.

 @delfinparis Oh yes. I prefer red wine, but I don’t refuse good beer! Beer and pretzel bread, DJ. Think on it.

 @litwitlia  Sadly I don’t drink.  But – pretzel bread is like a religion to me.

Bwahaha! The Germans wouldn’t sell our CDs because they thought we were Jehovah’s Witnesses. Duh. It’s Jehova Waitresses. That makes them stupid dicks. He gave you some great material though. Guess we all gotta bone up on the fine print? To be frank, he’s not just a weenie, but a real kraut.

Here and I thought it was going to be a post about the notice I had issued to you to stop stalking me. It must be lost in the mail.

Keep on doing what you do then, you and your weiner…
