What is missing here? None of them studied law? From the stupid threats made by Scott A. Smith, no one in this firm studied copyright law.

Are there NO qualified women lawyers in St Louis or in Missouri? Are there NO qualified minority lawyers in St Louis or in Missouri? Can you say, "Good Old White Boys Club"? Nineteen lawyers and NOT ONE woman or minority? Pleeeese!

Diversity obviously is not a word used in the Missouri Bar exam if the law firm of Polster, Lieder, Woodruff & Lucchesi, L.C. is any example. However, to be fair, it is also obvious that the law firm of Polster, Lieder, Woodruff & Lucchesi, L.C. does not discriminate: it hires fat white men as well as skinny white men; it hires old white men as well as young white men; it also readily hires ugly white men. We cannot accurately comment on their mental facilities but a number of them really do not look too bright. In-breeding? Apparently Polster, Lieder, Woodruff & Lucchesi, L.C. just does not hire women, except as gophers and secretaries and whatever other use they have for women. After all, someone has to make the coffee and none of these guys look bright enough to do it.

But Polster, Lieder, Woodruff & Lucchesi, L.C. is not included in these pages because of their hiring practices. That is just an aside. They are here because of one Scott A. Smith, the doofus-looking one in the second row above (sixth from the left). It seems that Scott A. Smith (no relation to Scott T Gray) represents one HattieRex who makes and sells doggie jewelry. The problem is that Scott A. Smith cannot take the time to put his pacifier down to return telephone calls and/or emails concerning the harmful actions taken by him on behalf of his client.

Rude is the word that comes to mind. The law does not require that Scotty reply but simple courtesy does. Simple comes to mind for Scott.


In a recent notice of claimed infringement ("NOCI"), Scott A. Smith instructed Etsy to remove listings that used the words "pet tag", "aluminum" and "washer". These words now belong exclusively to Tessa Long and HattieRex because they are part of the titles of the two copyright registrations?

Did Scott A. Smith actually study copyright law or did he attend Billy Bob's School of BBQ and Law? We already know most law students sleep through Constitutional Law.

Scott - FYI - your client does not own the rights to all pet id tages or the use of aluminum and washers to make them. Her copyrights are for the designs she submitted, not for the idea they represent. Get your head out of your Missouri ass, Scott. The pictures below very clearly show that the copyrightable work of Tessa Long was not copied. Tessa Long does not own the idea of pet jewelry.


Dumb
On October 22, 2010, some jerk named McPherson D. Moore, another attorney at Polster, Lieder, Woodruff & Lucchesi, L.C., along with the town idiot, Scott A. Smith, filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, 10cv1997,(PDF format) alleging copyright infringement and false designation of origin. Fellas, you are really stupid, stupid, stupid attorneys.
Dumber?

YOU LYING CORPORATE LAWYER MORONS! The above means that the person signing the complaint, in this case one jerk named McPherson D. Moore and another jerk named Scott A. Smith, are to conduct a reasonable inquiry BEFORE signing the complaint. Only a complete moron, like Moore and Smith, would not know that ideas are not copyrightable, only the expression of those ideas. Only a complete moron, like Moore and Smith, would look at the examples shown above and see a substantial similarity (which is required for a finding of copyright infringement). In our opinion, neither McPherson D. Moore nor Scott A. Smith did anything to follow FRCP 11(b) but rather willingly, and with their retainer and fee in mind, commited perjury in the name of the American dollar.

Then, as though they needed to reinforce their stupidity, they make the ridiculous claim, CLAIM II - FALSE ASSOCIATION, and try to tie it to trademark law under 15 U.S.C. 1125(a). What a crock of flaming Missouri shit. Even if the defendant used "LLC" in a manner to deceive, it would be a state tort, not a federal violation of trademark law. Even a halfway intelligent first-year law student can tell that 15 U.S.C. 1125(a) refers to using a trademark to confuse the public, NOT the appendage "LLC".

You will lose this law suit. And you should be disbarred and told to live in an alley for one year as punishment.


FLASH UPDATE - November 3, 2010 -
After review, the US Copyright Office has cancelled the two copyrights that Hattie Rex claims as a basis for her harassment of other legitimate sellers. So, what now, McPherson D. Moore and Scott A. Smith? Without a registered copyright you are up the oft quoted creek without your corporate lawyer paddle. Your villages are still without an idiot since you left. If you return quickly they may take you back. The IQ in Missouri will rise significantly when you leave.
