Cross it how? And for what? Because you can't be inconvenienced to change the name/logo/watermarks? How dumb are you? This has to be among the top 10 stupidest things said on this board to date and that's no small feat.
So Home Depot serves you with a lawsuit for 200k per every single instance of your willful infringement in your commercial use of their registered marks... and in this thread alone is what? $2,000,000.00 or so worth of potential damage claims as you try to drum up business and promote a commercial site based around their registered marks? How do you not understand the problem that represents? How do you not understand that with every minute that passes, every watermark/logo that is posted online, potential damage claims increase?
You think you can be sued for $90,000,000.00 and then "cross that bridge"? Are you completely retarded? You think they're going to settle for the $16.00 you have in your checking account and walk away? They're going to financially rape you,.... you'll likely never be able to pay off the judgement after you forfeit every single thing you have of value including your clothes which will be auctioned off with everything else you own... all to make an example of you for others who might do the same, and to show shareholders they are on top of it and in charge.
Additionally, all webmasters that use your watermarked images/promo materials and even send this site traffic are also liable for civil damages to Home Depot and can also be legitimately sued with a very real, provable claim as they are also participating in the infringement of Home Depots marks in a direct partnership with you, where revenue generated is then shared.
