Always a wanker

But if he's got it copyrighted he's perfectly within his rights to protect his rights...
And if the shop was called Charlie's Mad Fisherman he'd have every right. But just because someone CAN copyright a name or something doesn't make it right. It's just weak. It was pretty lame when the Planet Hollywood was suing anyone with Planet something in their name. Weak.

Shame on Moore.

I dont think they are online I did look. I do however have the paper if you want AND I believe they are printed in close quarters with a monthly fishing rag that was given some support by Harpoon. I wonder what if any stance they will take.

I looked it up
they have a site but when I googled mad fish outfitters, their site came up Bad Fish Outfitters, which I think really sucks for them.
I would not have changed it.
