Copyright theft is copyright theft.

Stuff it. I'm going to open easyPub next week and paint it orange. Be reet.

When I order a pint of bitter will you deliver a pint of lager to another table?






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

What will you care if it costs 25p, even if you have ordered six months in advance?

If you're doing that, I'm gonna open the iDeli. I'll sell hugely over-priced iSandwiches in which the filling is no better than in much cheaper butties, but the bread looks a bit fancier. Watch all the gullible morons come flocking!

Do you want to open a Subway franchise, then...?

And I'll mention all the people I know who've had three PCs while I've had one Mac – and linked mobile devices. :D

And also that easyJet haven't complained over campaigns against what have been termed 'easyCouncils'.

Oh – and to repeat: the story about the pub says that the legal firm wants the pub to remove all names ...

Super ironic since Tolkien's story wasn't even original.

Er, guilty. Ooh, just thought of another idea to make my iDeli even more authentic: I'll hire a load of Chinese workers, pay them six quid a week, then beat the crap out of them to ensure they produce an acceptable number of iSandwiches per hour!

The artwork on the signage does not appear to have come from the films. In fact as far as I can tell from the article, the only thing directly linked to the films is the picture of Elijah Wood's face on their loyalty card. And unless it's a picture of him in his Frodo role then that would be more of an issue for his lawyers than SZ's.

The whole thing is, at the very least, pointlessly heavy-handed. Just how much damage is this place doing to the 'brand' that SZ own? Are people wandering in expecting to see the movie or something?
