Hey, Folks: Does This Look Like a Content Usage Violation to You??
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Cafepress Store Issue

Hey, guys; you're likely having a better weekend than I am.  Cafepress recently blocked this image for the mere mention of freaking Twitter in the image caption!  That's right--the caption "Dude, Trump just blocked me on Twitter" somehow violates Twitter's intellectual property rights!  As if their company only just invented the word "twitter", which has existed, as both a noun and a verb, for centuries or longer.  Plus, there's nothing defamatory or derogatory about the mere mention of Trump or Twitter, as I argued in an email. 

Didn't seem to matter to them; they seem to fear being sued if one of their store owners sells something mentioning a specific social media site.  In fact, I'm not the only one with a design mentioning Twitter; and I'm definitely not the first to mention the eejit who's about to become POTUS, either. Guess I'll have to stay on these folks, and see what I can negotiate with them.  Stay tuned...
