Wow. You & pugs make a great team ! You have a god-complex and pugs thinks everyone is out to get him !

Believe me, your "likeness" is nothing to protect.

You are a CRIMINAL and you are going BACK to prison for a LONG TIME !

Perhaps you can share a cell with one of those that you THOUGHT you were better than !

In the end, you are JUST LIKE those you exposed.

I wouldnt argue if someone said YOU are a CRIMINAL CON-MAN !

In fact, the US Government said just that !

Who is Gary Dobry ? you ask..noone really.

LOL!

Pretty good description. He's also been quite obsessed with me ever since his eviction from this site for his conduct in the RMIL thread. Or was it TVSI? Don't really remember. Some now-defunct ticker.

Janice Shell has a compilation of a PugsRant involving his claim that I called him at his new, unlisted phone number, then hung up. It's a hilarious read and a very accurate glimpse into how his mind works.

Anthony Pacific wrote (quoting the Illinois Act): "A person may not use an individual's identity for commercial purposes during the individual's lifetime without having obtained previous written consent from the appropriate person or persons??

Come on! That's goofy. The Act is supposed to prevent use of an "individual's identity" to SELL something -- like the classic case of a baby's face used to sell a box of oatmeal.

The painting sells only the painting -- it doesn't change the image into a trademark. Besides Anthony has become a public figure, making him fairplay for commentary -- even offensive or comical commentary.

I see nothing illegal about those paintings. For more information, see "First Amendment".

--...Contains the likeness of Anthony Elgindy...
--...Contains the likeness of Anthony Elgindy added to a likeness of Arthur Smolensky...


Is that an opinion, or has Dobry stated that said paintings depict those individuals?

Also, where is the commercialization? Are these being sold as prints, or just in the form of the original painting? If it's the latter, I don't see a case of commercialization. IMO.
