As I’ve previously noted, Team Kimberlin’s lack of respect for the intellectual property right of others has occasionally been costly for them. This post from eight years ago today In Re Animus Nocendi dealt with one of Bill Schmalfeldt’s misadventures.

Animus Nocendi is the name of the Cabin Boy™ latest cut-and-paste opus. I haven’t read it yet, but Amazon says that I should have a copy tomorrow. I may give it a review in a few days.

Speaking of reviews … The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt™ is squawking about “false reviews” and warning that they are violations of law. The law he cites is 15 USC § 1125 which is part of the Lanham Act. It deals with trademark infringement, false labeling of country of origin, and false advertising. It will be interesting to see how far he gets trying to sue anyone over a bad review using that statute.

I’m sure he is getting the very finest of advice from Acme Legal.

Meanwhile, the Gentle Reader may wish to stock up on popcorn, Jujubes, Raisinets, Junior Mints, Milk Duds, or Red Twizzlers available via Amazon.
