Re: Guy Claims He Owns The Idea Of Oprah Visiting Australia, Plans To Sue

Here's a pretty old post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 13 years ago, in 2011, on the World Wide Web.

Guy Claims He Owns The Idea Of Oprah Visiting Australia, Plans To Sue. Techdirt (2011-01-18):

The Australo-Galambosian strikes back. Hey, a man’s got a right to defend his Primary Property.

(Via Kevin Carson, who I will not be paying $5 for the idea. Sorry, dude.)
