Major Ownage: Nestle Model nails Nestle for $15.6 million
 

Nestle uses his likeness on their coffee bags, offers the dude $100k to settle once he finds out, he refuses and then the guy nails them for $15.6 miillion.

OWN3D!

Of course, on appeal, he could get nothing :error

"We've secretly replaced their regular coffee with one illegally using the likeness of another human being. Let's see if they notice..."

"I don't buy Taster's Choice," he said. "I do beans."


:1orglaugh

I read that this morning... awesome man

I'm gonna scan the supermarket real good from now on :1orglaugh

Nice, that guy deserves every cent..I wonder what makes big corps like Nestle do advertising/marketing campaigns without paying their models...

wonder how many people (rigthfully) lost their jobs due to this fuckup..

Nice to see that the big companies get hammered some times.

Damn, he killed them.

Good for him!

:winkwink:

I just read that. No way that amount fits the "crime" though. It's not like his likeness was the reason why it sold so well.

The pic was from 1988, the people responsible are gone by now

lol nice :thumbsup

I hope Nestle loses on appeal
