Excellent tasquah! As far as I'm concerned the only "foolishness" is that committed by the tubers in question. You know the approach your attorney suggests, a group lawsuit, is not a bad idea, especially if this continues. It seems there are those who believe that they won't be sued and that's why it continues. For those of us who do this strictly as a hobby that may be true, but I know that a lot of you are trying to make a living from your images. It might be a way for a lot of people of limited means to finally get some justice. I'll bet there will even be a few of us "hobbiests" who would support it because of the principle of the thing. Sears Roebuck lost a lot of money in one of these group suits that was started by just one person on behalf of all Sears card holders who used their cards for a specified period of time. I was one who benefited. If one person can start a suit that beats Sears, I dont't think it would be hard to "set an example" with this group and "Tina the Tuber"! :)
