The dumbest mofo I've encountered is a wannabe webmaster livin' an hour east of Toronto.

A few years back we discovered he was usin' our copyrighted images on the front mainpages of his shitty little paysite.

So I drafted up a rather intimidatin' letter filled with a lot of legalese, and demanded he make monetary restitution to us for copyright infringement based on potential loss-of-livehood, or else we'd be forced to turn the matter over to our company attorneys for lawsuit considerations.

I guess we scared the little shit so bad, he immediately coughed up the $800 bucks we demanded in the letter (in two payments). In exchange, we allowed him to continue using the three images on his site.

I forgot to mention to him that had he simply contacted us in the first place and asked permission before usin' the images...I'd likely have granted it to him for free, lol.

Turned out to be just a kid livin' in mommy's basement - thinking he'd never be called out on it. He was worried we'd contact his parents and they'd discover his activities.

We didn't.
