Mood: don't ask
Topic: Cafepress Store Issue
Hey, guys; you're likely having a better weekend than I am. Cafepress recently blocked this image for the mere mention of freaking Twitter in the image caption! That's right--the caption "Dude, Trump just blocked me on Twitter" somehow violates Twitter's intellectual property rights! As if their company only just invented the word "twitter", which has existed, as both a noun and a verb, for centuries or longer. Plus, there's nothing defamatory or derogatory about the mere mention of Trump or Twitter, as I argued in an email.
Didn't seem to matter to them; they seem to fear being sued if one of their store owners sells something mentioning a specific social media site. In fact, I'm not the only one with a design mentioning Twitter; and I'm definitely not the first to mention the eejit who's about to become POTUS, either. Guess I'll have to stay on these folks, and see what I can negotiate with them. Stay tuned...
