No good deed goes unpunished...:(
 
Another prime example of gross imcompetence at the higher levels.
 
What right do the Resnick's think they have to Diana's image etc? I guess only their trademarks/images etc are important and they think they can use anyone else's without permission! I think that it's despicable what they're doing and they should immediately apologize for what they attemped to do and what they are attemping to do now! I wonder if FTD or Peter tried to use the Dove or TF symbols what action the Resnick's/TF would do? Can you say LAWSUIT?????? Just my opinion...rock on
 
IF true

All TF member should be embarrassed....

Have to read it on the plane...have great week all...
 
"Just because the Diana Fund is a charity,
that does not excuse it from extremely bad behaviour."

Nor does it excuse the Resnick's uncharitable behaviour in bankrupting the aforementioned fund.
I doubt they will make up the short fall to those charities receiving the "shaft". Their name just got worse in my world.

That's right, there would be a team of lawyers chasing us with all kinds of threats, you would get buried in paper.

Tiger Woods had problems with them also, with his image etc. They had to pay him in the end.
 
That's just sick. If the fund fails, all those charities will be twisting in the wind.

In their original lawsuit, the Trust actually stated - in writing - that the plaintiffs were "vultures feeding on the dead". This, after the Trust had permitted margarine tubs to be decorated with Diana's signature among other 'elegent tributes'....

"There is another dimension to the Resnicks's court action that makes it especially piquant. If they win, the couple intend to give whatever they get from the memorial fund to charities....They are not saying but, according to a source in Los Angeles, it is expected that Diana's favourites would top the list.

Gotta say, if I were called a vulture in a suit - I'd be out to bankrupt the Trust, too. Here's a link to a more 'balanced' version of the story.

There are no winners in revenge and ignorance of the power of your "enemy" is stupid. Both sides are at fault...both, in my opinion, are greedy. Diana will be spinning in her grave I'm sure...and the people in need will lose in the long and short term.
 
Whether "The Trust" allowed maragrine tubs to be decorated or not is not the issue (that isn't my idea of a respectable use of Diana's images either) as they had the right to license anyone; the issue is that the Resnick's didn't have permission to use what wasn't theirs but thought they could use it anyway! If the US courts side with the US company, I doubt that it carries any weight in the UK. The US court already dismissed the legal ownership of Diana's images??? I wonder would they have done the same if it were a British company and a well known American?
 
Elvis comes to mind...and his estate, doesn't support charities (as far as I know).
 
Bad example...the poor man is plastered on all manner of tacky...

To be honest, this is the method of how Roll International operates, much like their friend Gray Davis the soon to be former Gov. of California, Gray's approach is , if they are business people, then they are crooked, if they are politicans then they are dishonest and imoral.

No matter what people might call you, you don't go bankrupting a charity, would you bankrupt the Cancer Society? THAT'S JUST PLAIN WRONG, THEY SHOULD STAND UP AND BE THE BETTER PERSON.

When they say they will give money to other things if they win, to whom? more money to Gray Davis or Hillary Clinton, Gary Conduit? Or use it to throw out the low income housing people in their other court case in Aspen, because they didn't want low income housing people living within 11 miles of their manison in Aspen? SAD!!!!!!
 
No matter how you slice it, it's a PR nightmare. Again, Peter, if you were publicly vilified and called a 'vulture feeding on the dead,' I wonder how charitable you'd be? This began as not a professionally handled suit - it was personal and ugly.

Do you not wonder why The Trust made this big announcment of suspending payments to charities? By their own account, they have almost $90 million. The suit, I believe, is for $25m. Could this be a 'hard ball' play to put lots of PR pressure on a possible settlement?

I won't even comment on your last, very personal paragraph except to say that families of all stripes grapple with the challenges of life. I learned a long time ago to live by the "There but the grace of God go I" philisophy.

I've been called worse. haha :) Some people associated anyone involved in the flower business as vulture when it comes to funeral business as you know. Profiting from the dead etc, Ive had people say that to me, and about me back when I was more involved in retail.

Sure it's about putting pressure on to the public, both sides should grow up, the Resnicks should stand up and say they are the "better man" and pay the lawyers and leave it alone.

I too know all about personal challenges in life, and have suffered many challenges every step of my life, and continue to everyday, that's why what this company is doing, is just so wrong.
 
In talking to some people in England I've found out, Princes William and Harry will rescue the fund if it ends up being out of money, and let's remember folks, their Grandmother won't allow the Resnicks to hurt her family (her grandsons) you know, I'm sure some of you have heard of her.. Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. She has more money than the Resnicks.
