She is the embodiment of greed. What a shame they chose a the top ranked Trailer T. celebrity.

Now, isn’t Ecorazzi going to get sued for reproducing the photos here?

She does not sound eco-friendly. More like eco-greedy!

Lets put a start-up eco friendly company out of business. Nice girl!

What ever happened to communication? If she were a country with nuclear weapons, it would be World War III. She just lunched her missiles with little warning!

No wonder she is still single. She is a total hot head with a huge ego.

This whole thing seems absurd to me. I mean, Ms. Hannah accepts the bike from Currie and uses the promotional item in a well-publicized event. People (and MEDIA) TAKE PHOTOS OF HER USING THE PRODUCT. And the company turns around and (Gasp!) actually USES the photos to promote their product?? The same photos which don’t require anyone else to get explicit permission to use them (say, to promote a certain event?). Because someone actually figures out a way to make money from her choice of bike to ride in the event, now she sees dollar signs and says, “Where’s my piece of the pie?” She is supposed to be so eco-friendly, but her greed makes her the worst kind of person to represent the cause. Sure, eco-friendly – as long as she’s getting some kind of cut, right? Really? Did anyone see anything in her suit about ASKING for specific compensation on the use of her photos before she filed the lawsuit? Her career isn’t so huge right now. Guess she’s found some other way to get paid and make a name for herself in the papers…

wow EB, if that is the case then I do feel bad for them. Has anyone tried to reason with DH?

Also is two weeks too much time? I don’t know too much about this stuff but if I got a letter I’d have taken them down that week for sure but either way very sad

As a Currie insider, I can tell you that Daryl never called and politely asked that her images be removed. It was a threating letter from her lawyer representing her and when received, the images were removed within 2 weeks. The lawsuit claims the were not removed but they were. My guess is that the clicked on page links and the pages were stored on the computers cache without being refreshed. Really an unfortunate situation.

i agreed that ms. hannah has the right to her image & all that – that makes sense. they didn’t comply, so that’s their mistake. however, $1 million? is this to teach them a lesson? cuz she doesn’t need it and please, “damages”?

well, i certainly hope (IF awarded) that money goes toward an eco-charity of some kind. in fact, that should be the punishment if the cast doesn’t settle or get thrown out – iZip or Currie has to donate to an eco-charity of her choice.

let me preface this by saying i am SO not into lawsuits suing etc… with that being said, she called and asked them politely. they said they’d take them down. they didn’t. quite frankly they screwed up royally and probably pissed her off. it’s personal now. how dumb of them not to comply….

(most places just get sued and don’t even get the polite call) When Daryll Hannah fricking calls you – you should listen. Now your business might go under instead. Sad but true ;(
