It's sad to see how far Kim Grinolds has fallen

DerekJohnson

When I mention to people that Kim Grinolds took nine years' worth of articles that I wrote and put Chris Fetters' name on them, they see the smile on my face and think I'm joking. But I'm not.

Last night I was at the Duchess and was talking with our resident Ute fan about Husky uniforms in the past. I pulled out my phone and Googled Ronnie Holmes, looking for a 1984 uniform.

Lo and behold, there was an article of an interview I did with Ronnie before he died. And of course, there was Chris Fetters' name on the byline. As I scrolled down, of course, I saw at the bottom where it told readers how to contact Derek Johnson.

Multiple people have told me to get a lawyer and sue. I suppose it's an option.

Such fag, Kim

You can’t fall when you’ve always been as low as a snakes belly.

I would contact an attorney for sure (not the pretend ones like HH in the Tug)

Actually, yeah, sue them. Having never even been to Dawgman, I have no personal beef with those guys like some of you do, but it's hard to see the end of their little business as anything but good for Husky football and its recruiting efforts. The fewer creeps stalking these kids (in real life--not on the internet, of course, which is toooooootally fine...), the better.

There’s absolutely a case to be made about the potential impact to your future book sales due to the loss of exposure from this plagiarism

Sue the fuck outta those bastards. But first, get all the screenshots you need. 😉

I'm on it. Let's go Stalin. Let's go get that little fucker and his fat fucker side kick.

I'll PM you my form engagement letter. PS: no negotiating terms.

I hope you do take some legal action...even if nothing comes from it financially (though I think you have a strong case), I think it would be helpful for you personally to put this behind you.

It's also called plagiarism my shit fuko! and conversion. It's stealing. Kim is like the Chinese with IP.

Even if Stalin doesn't hire me, I may file an amicus brief.

I think we? need moar creeps, not less. HTH

I'd try to contact him about it (letter) but definitely threaten some sort of legal action. What a worm.

BennyBeaver

I’m sure he checked with the Fox lawyers before the theft.

Better check the contracts.

Exactly. I don’t think Harper Lee’s estate would appreciate it if I took copies of “To Kill A Mockingbird” and put my name on it. Hell, most *school children* are taught about citing your @Sources and not to pass of others’ work as your own.

Yeah. The 247 lawyers might have some sneaky language in their contacts.


But don’t listen to me...I’m no fake lawyer.

It's high time DJ that you take on @KasimiraVerdi.

For a pretend lawyer, I expect your reading ability to be slightly above average.

I've already contacted my attorney and connected him with Stalin.
