Default Right Now, Nestle Could Sue Pawngo out of Business

This deserves it's own thread.

It's right there for the taking.

Unauthorized usage of a copyrighted product for one's own material benefit, that also has a marked negative effect on the reputation of the product being used without permission.

The tweet from the Nestle executive yesterday:

@Butterfinger
Nestle Butterfinger
BTW Butterfinger had NOTHING to do w/ Boston stunt after the big game. A company bought our bars (like 7,200) & used 'em w/out our knowledge

I volunteer as a material witness! I'll testify that the incident made me hate Butterfingers and that I vowed never to buy one the rest of my life because of Pawngo's stunt.

The weasels who own groupon are trying to distance themselves from pawngo, only the same two clowns founded both... College frat boy internet geniuses are like a scourge on society...

I think Butterfinger just explained to everyone why they won't be suing Pawngo

How do you know the guys at Nestle aren't loving this free publicity?

Because it's negative publicity?

You could start a consumer campaign to demand Nestle do just that...using one pawngo/groupon's founders other sites.

Quote:
Groupon grew out of a website called The Point, a website launched in November 2007 that lets you start a campaign asking people to give money or do something as a group — but only once a "tipping point" of people agree to participate. By delaying action until enough people come together to have a real impact, The Point helps consumers, employees, citizens, activists, parents — or anyone — come together and solve problems that they couldn't solve alone. Learn more about The Point here.

Here's a transcript of my online "chat" with Pawngo:

Ashley:
Hey there, thanks for visiting! I'm here to answer any questions. How can I help?

me: You can help by making a tangible apology to the people of New England.

Just a moment...
me: Hello?
Are you blowing me off?
Figures!

Brittnay:
I am a sales rep ..
if you have any comments regarding that
you can contact pawngo@5wpr.com

me: I absolutely do.

Brittnay: Feel free to contact that address

me: And I assure that neither I nor anyone I know will EVER patronize your slimy organization.

Alternately, they could be fined for littering for each single candy bar, making the fine a few million dollars.
