Originally posted by Rogue I can kind of see the logic behind that - he wasn't beaten in court, after all. I don't think that's gonna help him though. |

So apparently the attorney dropped his case, but still declared victory. Idiot. |

I was going to just amend the latest post, but this needs its own post.
The lawyer wrote his own poem/rap(?) about the situation with TheOatmeal. Originally posted by Charles Carreon |

Now the lawyer who was handling FunnyJunk's side of the case has filed a lawsuit against TheOatmeal AS WELL AS IndieGoGo, the National Wildlife Federation AND the American Cancer Society.
Not sure whether this is remarkably tragic or incredibly hilarious. |

Always loved TheOatmeal... now I love TheOatmeal even more. |

Update: The douchebag attorney's apparently trying to get IndieGoGo to take down the fund, claiming it violates their Terms of Service.
In the meantime, Matt's cracked $125,000 for the NWF and American Cancer Society. I love it, giving to charity with a vengeance! |

He broke $100,000 overnight.

I think that it took less than 30 minutes to reach 20k.
Holy shit. |

He's about to hit $50,000 in donations.
This is the most awesome fuck you to a company ever. |

Wow, that is seriously stupid. I don't even know how they think they can get away with that. |

FunnyJunk, one of those sites that people post other people's work onto (minus their watermarks, credit, permission, etc), is threatening to sue TheOatmeal for his rant against them.
A year ago, TheOatmeal posted about FunnyJunk publishing his comics on their site, making sure to crop out/erase his website from the bottoms of the images. People link to these posts and FunnyJunk collects on the ad revenue from all the page clicks. Recently, FunnyJunk hired a lawyer to threaten TheOatmeal for allegedly spreading false accusations and damaging their reputation, demanding $20,000 from him or they would drag him to court. SOURCE TheOatmeal then put forth that he has begun raising donations for the $20,000 (he's gone from $16,000 to $27,000 in the last hour), but saying that he will donate half to the National Wildlife Federation and the other half to the American Cancer Society. Seriously, though, $20,000 for what? Blackmail? Give us this money or else? I almost want to see this go to court and have the judge laugh at them and demand FunnyJunk LLC pay TheOatmeal. |
