In The News

Two interesting articles hit my inbox today that I thought were worth sharing.

The first is a CNN piece on Sully and the new season of Pitchmen headlined: "Sales tips from the new Billy Mays." It includes some interesting pitch history from the other side of the pond and some nice comments about our late, great friend Billy.

The second is a press release from Allstar touting a recent victory in a trademark and copyright infringement case. The company won a preliminary injuction against several Web sites for unauthorized use of its IP, proving it can and will be done. The key quote comes from Allstar President Scott Boilen: "We fully intend to vigorously protect our properties online and elsewhere and are pleased the Court has taken swift action in support of our efforts." Counterfeiters beware!
