Here is my "threat," copied and pasted from DM:
"Pegasus, you made the logos as contract work for the group. You do not own them, nor can you demand that we cease and desist using them. Believe me--we don't want to use them. We much prefer to be rid of this petty ridiculousness altogether. But if you think you have a case, please have your attorney contact me IN WRITING, via certified mail. I will provide the address if you wish. Otherwise, we'll get to it when we get to it, and we'll also be sure to tell anyone wishing to hire you as a graphic artist how you have behaved in this instance."
You said yourself that you never signed a contract. Therefore there was no agreement. So how can I "honour" such agreement? You never released any images to us with stipulation or conditions, neither in writing nor verbally. So the bottom line is that you cannot legally or reasonably make a claim of ownership on a logo after the fact.
I am quite certain that anyone who sees this ridiculous debate that you guys insisted on making public would think twice about ever asking you to perform work for them in graphic design or writing of any sort. It doesn't require a "threat" to make that evident. Professional graphic designers would never engage in such ridiculous nonsense unless they had a contract in hand that included conditions. You don't see Jimitations screaming for GMuxx and Shane to stop using his intro for their radio show, do you? I would imagine that's because he understands how the law works in cases like this and prefers to leave his reputation unsullied by bullshit. No worries--we've all been discussing other options not only for the logo, but for any branding that existed prior to the meltdown you guys had in the Block. All traces of all of you will soon be gone, except for what is locked down on the blockchain. Links to your work will be removed from the SFT Library, and it will be as if none of you ever existed, much less any work product created by you.
