I will be vindicated. Your case is a total joke, based on nothing but gossip and hearsay. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Let the truth prevail.

I prefer your equivalent pix in TITTL.

Has the cat received a fee for the use of its image? We demand to know.

As the photographer, I own the copyright of the image by default, and therefore all profits proceeding therefrom. There was never any transfer of copyright. I told her I was taking a photo, and to pose nicely and fold her paws. She didn't resist. Consent for the use of the image must be presumed. Anything else said is lies and slander.
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

I heard you and the cat had an oral contract whereby you were taking the image as a work for hire.
And, I heard you prefer your contracts to both oral, and binding.

Pappa's post: abridged version. Practically lossless compression.

Josh = dick
This is an insult to good penises everywhere, Pappa. As there are many ratz members of this kind I will remind you to play nice with them.

Is it alright if I play nice with them too? And will any subsequent changes in the rules be retroactively applied?

As a woman of the female persuasion I can't speak for myself, but I'm sure your endorsement will have some influence

Hearsay and gossip, spread by evildoers, you'll see! Words have passed between my lawyer and Fluffy's. I honestly can't believe she'd betray me like this after all those years of shovelling shit and running the bath tap for her. I thought we had a straightforward understanding whereby I exploited her and took advantage of her boundless trust in me, in return for token gestures of affection and a couple of treats of expensive cat food here and there. The truth will out...
And, I heard you prefer your contracts to both oral, and binding.

Well, yes, as part of that inherent lust to trust and be trusted - I do like to enjoy giving and taking binding oral contracts myself from time to time, with those whom I feel will play fairly. However, I will use appropriate protection if I have even the slightest of doubts in my mind about the person I am engaging - and it's a pity that Richard doesn't appear to have in this case. And of course, there are times when oral, protected or not, just isn't good enough in anyone's eyes... And sometimes the person needs to be bound far more firmly in line with one's terms.

Well, a deals a deal, and an oral contract for personal services must be specifically performed. Provided, of course, that there is sufficient consideration - in order for a contract to be binding, both parties must benefit from the transaction, such as if each party agrees to perform services for the other. Are you ready to fully perform your obligation?

I'm not sure. I find your terms a bit difficult to swallow...

LOL - I'm sure I can massage the deal so that it is more to your liking. If you try it out though, you'll find it to be a sweet deal as it is...

Never fear, 4 out of 5 of those surveyed have found our services to be quite pleasant.
Satisfaction is guaranteed, though, and no rest will be taken until you are content with the outcome.
