There are several basic concepts of copyright and trademark law that have eluded SalonQuest and their half-witted internet thugs, Security Essentials:

FACT #1 - A lawfully purchased item may be resold by the purchaser and the original owner has no recourse.
FACT #2 - Fair Use allows a person to use pictures and descriptions of an item when re-selling it.
FACT #3 - A non-party to a contract cannot be held to the provisions of the contract (basic contract law)

So, we ask SalonQuest and its President, Dennis Lubin, what rock did you turn over to find Security Essentials and its pea-brained representative, Patricia L. Urban? We ask this question in all sincerity because Patricia L. Urban of Security Essentials must be a flaming moron to send threatening emails to people concerning the lawful re-sale of the good-awful, over-priced tripe SalonQuest sells claiming they are cosmetics.
In her pompous and explicitly incorrect email, you twit-brained Security Essentials named Patricia L. Urban makes a variety of deliberately misleading and false statments (Dennis, can you say "lies"?), concerning the products offered by SalonQuest:

It has come to our attention that you are offering Aquage products for sale on Ebay. This activity constitutes a violation of SalonQuest's distribution policies.

Additionally, you are displaying copyrighted Aquage containers in your advertisements, yet another violation of SalonQuest's legal rights under the federal Copyright Act.

We hereby demand that you immediately remove all Aquage products from your Ebay offerings.

your agreement to permanently discontinue all sales of Aquage products

the matter will be referred to SalonQuest's legal counsel for further action
Yeah, right. When pigs fly. You've been threatening innocent sellers for over a year now and you haven't had the balls to sue one yet. Why? Because you would lose your ass.
In any case, a container of cosmetics does not have the necessary creativity involved in its composition to qualify for copyright in the first place. Copyright is for creative works, not a name on a bottle. The next sucking sound you hear will be Dennis Lubin, President of SalonQuest, and Security Essentials' nitwit Patricia L. Urban, trying to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses.

Dennis Lubin Ever wondered what a smiling jackass looked like?
H - e - r - e ' s Dennis!
