copypasta brought to you by my facebook inbox. and me (Ilia) and Michael Techie. Disclaimer: no disrespect to anyone :-)
Ilia March 16 at 5:59pm dude, lame. not to mention that "ideas" cannot be patented or capitalized on in the way she is claiming. also, there's no such thing as anything new. Everything is inspired from bits of other things, and chances are, some people will come up with similar concepts now and then. Having said that, I invented the idea of sex. Anyone using any sexually-derived notions, performances, objects, or other materials and/or representations, for material or financial gain, must hereby give me $3.24, plus tax per incident. ~thanks
Michael March 16 at 6:09pm Reply I'm so horribly in debt to you then.. :p
Ilia March 17 at 4:07pm Don't worry--I have payment plan options.
Honestly, I never bought the 'invented' thing because there were already a number of us doing this type of thing. Some of us just did not aggressively market it for our own reasons (mine being that I'm not into performing that much because of my responsibility as a parent and a government worker. In addition, I already had my day as a polynesian, jazz and flamenco dancer. Instead, I teach the dance and perform only occasionally and it's to show this type of dancing during those occasions). In addition, you were called 'otaku bellydancer' in Japan. It was not what you self-proclaimed yourself to be. Someone gave it to you. As to the claim of copying, hey, we all represent different styles while she does tribal fusion. So far, it looks like she views you as a threat to her
