Please add this to the list of vblog puzzles:Why does Daniel talk like a deep south country bumpkin, "yall, yall, yall" ?Isn't he from Toronto?

I wanted to keep it to two options, I also am beginning to think I should not have internet access.I tried to think of a number of yes and no reasons, but I'm sure I missed some so cast your vote based on whatever reason you feel is relevant.

You complain that no one explains why this lawsuit is not a striaght contract law, yet you do not listen.COURTS WILL NOT ENFORCE UNREASONABLE RESTRAINT OF TRADE CONTRACTS.There is much room to argue what is reasonable and what isn't in terms of the assignments of image rights.

Unfortunately, you do not understanding the matter at hand. First, while a lawyer may face punishment from their state bar for a frivilous lawsuit, this case would not fall under that category as a good faith argument could be made on their claims.Second, your understanding of contract law is incorrect. Courts can and do examine the reasonableness of a contract and can void the agreement for a number of reasons regardless of breach in equity. Let say you and I create a good faith contract to sell your soul to me. There is offer, acceptance and consideration. If a person with standing brought

I was hoping to find those pics someone posted of Raymer looking drunk with the lady with the artificially well-endowned mammaries. I believe someone posited her profession involved ill repute.This photos may be valuable in the emerging internet feud between the blue corner, DN, and the red corner, Faucet Man.Thank you for considering this application of assistance.Kindest regards and God speed.

With all due respect, in this case contract law intersects with restraint of trade and assignment of rights and becomes a lot more complicated. Add to that antitrust law, and these are complex legal issues. The result is far from certain.While everyone is entitled to their opinion, simplistic legal analysis is not very valuable to the discussion in my opinion.

You should be working on getting yourself out of DM, not getting others in.Seriously, move to Cuba, you'll thank me.

Reminds me of some of the retirees at the local casino.

Nice payout, gl, take it down, and all the rest.

gl, payout?

I have not taken a course in antitrust law, but from what I understand actual harm is irrelevant (unlike say a tort claim) so it doesn't matter whether or not they can or do go to anyone 'gas station'. The issue is whether or not competition is infringed.

I think the statement of claim shows enough room for intelligent arguments to be made on both side.There are many ways to characterize a poker tournament, especially a televised one produced by a market leader. You could argue that the assignment of rights is not without compensation. While it is not direct compensation in the form of royalties, players are compensated through publicity and through specialty tournaments that the WPT supplies the prize pool.There are also different ways to characterize the agreements allegedly signed by the casinos.Bottom line, we will all wait and see how this

That's every degenerate gambler's dream.Thanks for the statement of claim blueodum. I'll check it out tomorrow.

I would advise against predicting the outcome of any lawsuit.I have not read the contract or the statement of claim, but on the contract side alone it could go either way.Noncompetition clauses are enforceable only in so far as they are reasonable. The court will look at a number of factors including the duration and scope of the terms, as well as the effect on the general public in terms of competition and on the signee's ability to make a living.I'm not saying whether this particular contract is enforceable, but I'm sure intelligent arguments could be made on either side.Anyone that has read

Contact the Bar Association in your state. This lawyer has likely breached his duty of professional responsibility.Need more details to go beyond that, but in the state of NY for example under article 12a of the Real Property Law, there are two types of agent relationship for real estate that you can enter into and the answer depends on which you have entered.You can find your state association here:http://www.findlaw.com/06associations/state.htmlThen click on your state, then click on the (insert state here) Bar Association, then on a "file a complaint" type link or contact us link.The Bar As

The issue is and has always been offshore gambling sites, not the game itself.Kill access to the sites or the ability to transfer money to these sites and you will kill online poker in its present form.

You ever ask your mechanic if you could help him fix your car?The law firm hired would politely tell Raymer to go have a snack and start clocking the billable hours.

Oh, thank you for the quick reply.You obviously work hard and suffer the greatest nuisance because of this. Hope you have got more than 3 hours sleep last night, and thanks for the polite responses even/especially to people quite agitated by this.

I heard they were just going to line people up, take the juice and then pick a number from 1-7. First peson to call out the number wins the event. The rest of the money positions are then decided by an egg spoon race.

Does that suggest that the hacker had access to forum passwords and account email addresses?If so, I would recommend anyone that has the same password for this site as their contact email address, change them immediately.
