So yesterday I wrote a post in which I copied & pasted a conversation between one of Kanye West’s bodyguards (allegedly) and another blogger. Not that I measure my reader’s interest based on comments, but that particular post generated a grand total of one comment.
So what’s the big deal, right?
Within hours, a Cease & Desist letter landed in my email inbox with a thud! It caught me by surprise. Out of all the Kanye posts I’ve written in the past, why would I get a C&D for that post?
Anyway, after receiving the C&D, I hustled back to the Fashionista.com to see if the text was still there. Of course the entire post was completely removed from the server. The Fashionista must have been shook when they emailed her.
But thank God for Google’s cache pages, otherwise I might be left holding the bag like I made the whole thing up myself.
Do I believe The Fashionista manufactured the conversation like certain other blogs sometimes do? No I don’t. That conversation was too intricately woven together to be fake.
Besides that, why would she make it up?
But a better question is, why would the legal goons pick that particular subject to get excited about?
Is it that our combined posts woke up the sleeping Louis Vuitton Gods, who weren’t aware that their shoes were walking out the back door before they had the chance to hit retail stores?
I don’t know that for a fact. I’m just guessing.
