    Don,
    I am bummed because I offered them $3.8 billion and they
    laughed me out of the meeting??? LOLOLOL I guess I really hurt them.LOL

    I am not a big comic fan, but I love the artwork to the max. You know
    it has got really nice the last few years how the art has evolved. I know
    a guy that owns a comic book store here in Tucson, and he warns me about abing or striping any thing having to do with marvel because of copyright crap. I don't really know of anyone to this day who has been fined by HD, Marvel, DC, or Disney yet. Although I know of a few who got nasty letters in the mail. I have heard Disney is worse than all of them.

    Don and all members,
    This is only my comment, and mine alone. You have heard that when people get products in big box stores like Home Depot, or Walmart the quality goes
    down the drain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly hope this massive purchase does not
    trigger another round of big buyouts.
    You know for the life of me they way the jobs, economy is, how Disney
    just throws a cool 4 mill like its nothing. Thing is, I am not a fan of Disney!!
    Any shape or form. They are the low wage leader.
    Its ok, with the $3.8 billion they turned down from me, I will purchase the
    new Gulfstream Business Jet and it will be the Official Business Jet of
    Airbrush Technique, and all the members.

    For all those fans who paint Marvel characters and names on t-shirts etc. and sell them - beware! You don't want to tangle with a Disney copyright lawyer! Now they will be looking to recoup 4 billion dollars!

    Give it your best shot!

    That's right.

    If you do their character and sell it they have every right to come after you. Believe it or not they actually sell shirts with those characters on them themselves.

    They do get nasty. Not because your couple of shirts is going to lose them any noticeable sales but because they have to. They have to treat all "black market" sellers the same if they want the complaint against the real bad guys to stick in court.

    Me, I do 'em I just don't sell 'em.
