As far as you're concerned, it's Dylboz. I choose to use an internet handle here. You registered under your own name, and it only took a single Google search to find your Gorshin site.

I'm sure if your were genuinely motivated and even slightly technologically adept, you could discern my given name. However, I'm not going to give it to you, because I think you're just an IP troll, a bully who uses lawyers to push people around.

I might. Give me a couple weeks to think about it.

In the meantime, I have to admit I'm curious to know how you found your way past the other 16,000 sites with images of Gorshin, many of them with some kind of for-profit scheme to find this obscure (sorry, Conrad!) philosophy site?

Ha! This is certainly a new one!

I don't understand the issue here. Is there like a law or something against using the "likeness" of somebody? Would it be illegal (for example) to take a photograph of Frank Gorshin (in theory... if he was still among us... likeness and all)?

Is Frank Gorshin a trademark of Frank Gorshin?

Is this turning into an "I am Spartacus" event?

PLEASE REMOVE ALL LIKENESS FROM ALL POSTS AND ANY WEB-SITE YOU MAY CONTROL.

I love (facetiously) how your website says, "Frank Gorshin's Memory will Live Forever Through This Web-Site".

Obviously, if you were actually concerned about Frank Gorshin's memory living on forever, you wouldn't be scouring the internet in an attempt to eradicate his "likeness".

Silly man.

He meant to say:

"Frank Gorshin's Memory will Live Forever Through This Web-Site... AND ONLY THROUGH THIS WEBSITE!"

What an ass-hat.

Conrad, since it's now been legally established that my avatar is a commercial use, where's my freakin' money??? (euros please, the dollar is kind of a mess right now).

I would like payment in gold please.

BTW, who is this Frank Gorshin character anyway? From the looks of my avatar, he was some sort of proctologist.

The Riddler. From the 60's Adam West Batman series. Also, he made a career as an old and dying man playing another old and dying man, namely George Burns, on stage in a play called "Goodnight, Gracie." Since George Burns was already dead at the time, I asked if Mr. Gorshin got his permission to use his "likeness," and name in his stage play. No answer.

This weirdo has no idea what a "commercial purpose" is. He's up against a very obvious fair use. He's an idiot. See, this is why IP is very, very bad.

He's a power hungry mad man who thinks he controls the internets. He must be stopped (before it's too late)!
