What is Marshall's Problem?

A copyright exists in ownership from the original creation. You don’t have to go through a legal process to necessarily have it copyrighted. It’s an added, legal protection.
So you’re saying Syracuse use of the NFL shield logo etc is okay?

I have no east/fast way of knowing if Syracuse or the NCAA has a license from the NFL. And frankly, I don't give a shit. I care about Marshall doing things the right way. And far too often, we fall short of that.
 
You don't know what punitive damages are. The loss of revenue or absence of it doesn't have anything to do with punitive damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish a party for particular egregious illegal actions with no regard or relationship to financial impact it had on the victim.

I know what punitive damages are. As well, you need a starting amount; otherwise known as an initial claim.
You can't simply sue for what may have been or could have been, without showing a real monetary loss. If they were leasing the image out that would be a different story, but I don't think they were. Believe me, if they sue it would be a nuisance amount at most. Sort of what you received from BC.

It's exactly what the target audience wants. These graphics are sent out to high school recruits. That graphic is in line with what all of the other major programs put out. The "middle school level at best" designer behind it also does graphics for Bleacher Report. They aren't using a "middle school at best" designer. The other designer on it was promoted by ESPN.com as producing one of the four best graphics for NSD in the country with his comic book collection. Again, you have to know your audience when producing creative works.

This is the first designer's recent portfolio:

This is the second designer's recent portfolio including part of the project that earned recognition from ESPN:

You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. I’d waste my time explaining why, but I don’t think you have the mental capacity to understand it.

I was paid more for that than you make in a year. The school had to break it up into multiple payments.
 
Agreed. Thankfully the teams didn’t score much under Doc and they were limited. The weird, “First down, first down, first down”, some of the fans do can go too.
So you really don’t like fans doing anything coordinated? Got it.

The first down thing is not coordinated and sounds stupid. The thunder clap only has a fraction of the people doing it. There’s a difference between cheering on the team and being a cheerleader.

Yeah, the only thing unique to us AND that the fans will participate to an impressive degree is We Are...Marshall.

Thunderclap used to be coordinated by the scoreboard. It’s a really, really simple and unique thing but they quit even trying to coordinate it.

And it did look good when the stadium was involved.

In fact, check this out:

That’s a quiet stadium and they are doing 1 at a time. Half the people at a Marshall game are at muscle failure if we score over 2 TD’s. When most of us go to a game, we want to enjoy the game....it shouldn’t feel like Catholic mass. Maybe if they’d change it up and do something like the clip you shared, but after each score gets old. Hell, maybe even put it to music or a beat when the team is coming out or lining up to come out...then be done with it for the game.
 
I wouldn’t mind the thunderclap so much if it had a little punch to it. Some action. As is, it looks like a flock of old tired ospreys that are so fat and lethargic that they can’t flap their wings hard enough to get off the ground.

No kidding. What a waste of time reading this thread.
You’re such an obsessed, whiney little bitch. How can you stand posting on HN with the feeling of how eaten up you are with me?

The initial issue in this thread is a legit concern which many people have agreed with. Take your miserably jealous bitch self to a board you’re appreciated on. It isn’t here.

I clench my skull and I channel every drop of water that sits on my brain directly into the frontal lobe, I raise my hands so that the palms are at least facing each other, I swing wide, and I bang my ulnas shut....over and over again.....and always, always I do one more than a righteous man's dignity would allow.

I think it was stopped because of the uptick in ad sales on the scoreboard which left little time for the Thunderclap. Back in the day when we routinely scored 45-50 points a game the 'clap took a long time and wore you out.

Who yanked your chain? Get some new material please. We will all acknowledge the entire board is obsessed with you if you would just STFU about it.

Yep. They used to do a countdown but for whatever reason, they discontinued it. I would love to know who at Marshall is in charge of game day operations and coordination. That idiot should be fired. Clueless.
