:mad FunkyJunk wants $20k from TheOatmeal!
FunkyJunk has a shitload of comics uploaded from The Oatmeal on their site and makes money off them. When TheOatmeal bitched about it they took some down but now say that since TheOatmeal blogged about their images being jacked that TheOatmeal has defamed FunkyJunk and they want $20k to go away.

FunnyJunk is threatening to file a federal lawsuit against me unless I pay $20,000 in damages
Remember FunnyJunk? Almost exactly a year ago I published a blog post about my comics being stolen, re-hosted, and monetized on FunnyJunk's website. The owner of the site responded and some of the comics were taken down, He still had a ton of my comics hosted without credit, but the energy it would take to get him to take them down wasn't worth it. I thought the issue was done and over with so I let him be.

A few days ago I was served papers informing me that the owner of FunnyJunk is going to file a federal lawsuit against me unless I pay him $20,000 in damages. You can read the full letter here.

The owner of FunnyJunk hired Charles Carreon, a lawyer who became famous in the 90s after successfully litigating sex.com.
Charles does a bit of modeling too, apparently.

Counsel suggests, "A shakedown, pure and simple."

Charles must be taking cases on consignment.

How do you know your life is just not part of some other person's dream? Really? You might just be a figment of someone else's mind!

That is just awesome... It just goes to show that pointless cashgrabs don't prevail and that the content creator has value!

Money grab or publicity stunt?

In any event, The Oatmeal is not someone to be fucked with. Talk about being forever immortalized as a negative meme.
