August 21, 2009 at 12:42 amTodd is correct. We recently won a lawsuit against a large, well-known company that skipped out on a rather large set of invoices.
They didn’t even challenge it…didn’t dispute we did the work and didn’t dispute they owed us the money. Guess what we’ve gotten so far? A nice chunky bill from our attorney. Even after you win a lawsuit that involves a client skipping out on their bill, and even when it’s clear and provable that the client is as wealthy as Mark Cuban and Bill Gates combined, it’s YOUR responsibility to FIND the scumbucket’s money and then force them to pay.
Well…not YOUR responsibility, but your attorney’s. Who then charges you more to file motion after motion and deposition after deposition to try to prove where the scumbag’s money is and prove it’s tied to the enterprise that stiffed you.
So if somebody used Grinner’s logo in their video, he’d probably be the one writing big fat checks to his attorney trying to get the people who used his logo to write him a big fat check. Oh no..my eyes just went cross-eyed.
