Wanna hear something fucked up?
So, I've been pressured to set up a store via CafePress.com so you guys can buy some TFP merchandise. I go to sign up the store.. and I discover that the shop ID 'tfproject' was taken. What the hell? Who would want that for their shop ID?
So, I browsed on over to the shop with said shop ID, and discovered a whole page with merchandise for the TFP. I sure as hell didn't set this store up. It's kinda fucked up that someone would do that, ya know? I'm all in favor of capitalism, but find your own products to sell.
So what did I do? I called up CafePress's Intellectual Property Rights Agent, and had a brief conversation with him. Within a few minutes, they had the store taken offline. Justice served.
Now, I'm not a mean son of a bitch. I'm not gonna press charges or demand compensation. I sincerely doubt this guy has sold very much either. I just took over the store ID so nobody can pull that kinda shit. I think it's pretty low to bite off someone else's bread. I have an acute idea of who was responsible, but I'm not gonna tell anybody anything, so don't ask.
If you by chance have actually bought anything from that particular store recently, you may consider sending it back for a refund.
Anyways, this is just to give you all a heads up. If it isn't blatantly plugged all over the TFP, then it's not a part of the TFP. I own the rights to the TFP and nobody else.
