i'd get a bunch of erasers and put the person's name(email) who wrote that email on them and give em out at the sketch crawl
if you seen any fun make sure you use this!
its kind of like the stupid artist who trade marked/copywrit "poppet" and is suing other artists for using it I think that should not have been allowed in the first place
The "poppet" case sounds like it would not hold up in court. (That said, I'm not an attorney, so that's simply my opinion.)
There's no case unless the other user is doing a line-by-line exact copy of the work and/or deliberately trying to confuse customers as to who made it. Then copyright issues might be involved.
"Poppet" is a word that's been in use since at least 1729 to mean a doll. It comes from an even older word, the Romanic "puppa" (and Latin "pupa") meaning girl, also doll or puppet. (Ref. Oxford American Dictionary, 1933 edition)
I can see that Claudine Hellmuth trademarked the word, but only as a brand name for her "Artwork, namely photo collage and line-drawn artworks, sold as original works on paper and canvas and on paper greeting cards; stationery, scrapbook products, namely albums, album pages, stickers; rubber-stamps and paper gift items, namely gift bags, gift tags and wrapping paper."
The generic use of the word to describe a doll... nobody can copyright or trademark that
