This idiotic crap has gone too far. A film reviewer can't print his opinions on a film? Bullshit. This will be tossed out of court and producer BJ Davis will end up paying for his stupidity.

Seriously. [/font][font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"]Despite BJ officially serving me "legal notice" through an e-mail, I still don't know what I'm being sued over. The original e-mail sent to me by Julia Davis said, and I quote, "illegally using artwork to the feature film "Forget About It" and disseminating fraudulent, misleading and materially false information about the film in question." For one, using artwork in a review would undoubtedly fall under fair use laws. Secondly, Allumination Filmworks likely owns the artwork used to promote [em]Forget About It[/em] to U.S. DVD buyers. And third, [a target="_top" href="vny!://www.bigscreenentertainmentgroup.com/Company/Court_Rulings/FEDERAL_COURT_FINDINGS_ON_BJ_DAVIS/"]court papers[/a] posted at Big Screen Entertainment's website cast doubt on whether or not BJ Davis even owns the movie's copyright at this point.[/font]
