And willing to do it for free?

In the interests of not getting sued by the BBC I have a question about copyright law/intellectual property rights.

Yes, "c-ntface" is a solely owned trademark of the BBC. Next question?

Oh, and hint: if you are looking for free advice on a "comedy" site, you probably don't have enough money for any entity to sue you. So, you are in the clear.

Thanks rikkor, I'll have to come up with a new name for the range of children's toys that I'm working on then.

Smilfs.

Blue in every sense of the word.
I think they'd catch on.

I don't think that the people who did this Facebook page knew what Smilfs truly meant.

It's not very blue, unless you mean the cold weather Manchester can get.

Rik: Burberry sued a guy who sold coats for ferrets on-line (I kid you not) He had no money until then. The publicity made him a fortune.

By the way, E&J Gallo murdered their parents.

I could give you some almost-2nd-yr-law-student type advice if that's any help. PM me if you want. At the very least I can point you in the right direction.

Watch yourself VCG, I bet the first year of a law degree is taken up by how to convert a casual conversation into a binding contract costing £50 a minute.

Pft, not at all. I don't start charging for casual conversational advice until just before I start 3rd yr.

I looked at this page and a banner ad for no win no fee lawyers came up!
