Donations of any size will help to defray the enormous legal costs from a lawsuit filed against the administrator of OldHippie.com, by what many refer to as a "Copyright Troll" law firm, for the posting of a TSA "Pat Down" photo they had bought the copyright rights to, after the photo was posted on this site, and then removed.
Who also participates in the 24 Hours of Lemons every year
Landmark Decision in 24 Hours of LeMons v. United States
San Francisco CA--The $500-car race 24 Hours of LeMons restraint-of-trade suit against the federal government, which had demanded an immediate end to Washington's Cash for Clunkers program, has been successful.
After conferring with counsel this morning, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Cash for Clunkers would end next Monday at 8pm EST.
In court papers filed last Wednesday, LeMons creator Jay Lamm asserted that by buying and crushing a half-million unsafe, fuel-swilling, smog-belching crapheaps, the government had created "...a federal subsidy not to participate in the 24 Hours of LeMons." America's horrible-****box-racing industry could therefore be decimated, the lawsuit contended, causing job losses deep into single digits.
"Every '92 Sunbird destroyed by this government death panel," an emotional Lamm told a rally outside the Federal Ninth Circuit Court building, "is a '92 Sunbird that can't be destroyed by bad racedriving." Supporters held signs emblazoned with the president's image above the word "HOOPtie," and a Renault Fuego Turbo set itself on fire in a last grisly act of solidarity.
Amicus briefs to the suit had been filed by veteran Alfa Romeo dealer Martin Swig and the Yugo Owners Anti-Defamation League of America.
Hey! I had a Yugo for a short while. But it kept breaking, and I was having trouble finding parts for it, so I sold it to a Mexican for real cheap who said he could fix anything.
Yeah, I remember Morris. I bought him first, but it was hard for me to reach the pedals and I had trouble driving it, so I sold it to Bad News Bernie. I saw it sitting by a gas station, and it looked really strange, so I had to have it. I LOVE strange cars. I even like Lloyds!
