Mark Spitz and Janet Evans Among 18 Olympians Suing Samsung Over Misuse of Images
April 27, 2012
"The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court over a Facebook app called the Samsung Olympic Genome Project, in which people can see how they are connected to various Olympians."
"other swimmers listed in the lawsuit are:
Amanda Beard, Jessica Hardy, Dara Torres, Jason Lezak, Cullen Jones, Eric Shanteau, Caroline and Clark Burckle, Brooke Bennett, Kristy Kowal, Kim Vandenberg, Aaron Peirsol and Brad Schumacher."
It must be hard to be an international swimming star. It must distract one from one's training when lawyers interrupt practice schedules to obtain signatures for plaintiff filings on lawsuits, supeonas, etc.
I'm thankful for my anonymity.
"Richard Foster, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said Samsung's procedures "consisted of sending an email to some of the plaintiffs, in which they were told of the Genome Project and advised that they would be a part of the project unless they 'opted out.'""
Well that's pretty lame!:2cents:
That is lame.I could start the Allen Stark Project and email people saying they agreed to pay me $1000,000 dollars unless they opt out.I guess I should start those emails now :bolt:.
Allen, I'm out!
