Copyright Crusader Mugs

'Better hold up, George - this is a copyright notice.'

'No, copyright does not mean you have the right to copy it.'

'Your content is protected by copyright laws and a complete lack of interest.'

"Can you sign this copy I downloaded off the internet?"

'You drew a real cute little furry bunny. Does mommy know that's a copyright infringement of the Real Cute Little Furry Bunny Studios?'

'Due to intellectual property concerns, I refuse to answer any questions.'

"Hi, I'm a cartoonist, I notice you've been using my cartoon on your website..."

'No one stole your act - and he won't appreciate being accused of doing so when he's not here to defend himself.'

'Please return my book report after you grade my work. I like to retain all the rights to my intellectual property.'

"'C' is for free CONTENT!"

Intellectual Property Thief

A class action suit chips away at a trademark.

"This was an advanced civilization. I see a little copyright symbol."

"The good news is your copyright is in good shape..."

". . . because I'm not allowed to copy other people's stuff, change it easily and pass it off as my own idea. . . damn EU!!"

"I didn't plagiarize. My muse must have."

"Do you know the penalty for plagiarism?"

It's the new internet copyright security program.

"We have an inquiry from someone whose picture is being used on a website without permission. Oh wait...It looks like he is talking about our website!"

"Then it's unanimous - we all reject the 'culture of free.'"

'I might be having a day off...but my copyright is still working.'

'Ollie, it's me! Some rich guy repeated one of my cockamamy tales and I sued him for intellectual property theft.'

"I'm not taking any chances."

"I guess all you need is love and a good intellectual property attorney."

"I have always depended on the content of strangers."

"Forget five-year plans. Let's just figure out how to make it to lunch."

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

'This is my partner. He'll be taking care of the small print.'

"They've hiked up our targets again...I'm going to have to put in some overtime to have any chance of meeting them!"

Blue sky thinking

Letters escape from a caged book.

"Are you sure you want to present your ideas in the form of an airplane?"

"Everyone, please welcome our new VP of being promoted and paid lots more than you for no apparent reason!"

"Where are you guys going?" "We’re out of here!" "It’s October 28th!" "The new team are running late. We need you to stay until February 2025!" "But I’m tired!!" "How do we know they won’t bail on us again?"

Is plagiarism the same as value adding?
