Re: Kansas firm sells candid Wal-Mart videos

You can't be more than about 18. Early twenties at the oldest. Right?

I say this because only a kid would think that this guy has any power whatsoever in this situation. What he really has is a guarantee of being buried under tons of legal depositions and machinations which he will have to respond to and answer one by one. It will take no effort at all to bury both him and any lawyer who takes this case on behalf of Flagler.

The case can be made as to the fact that in 30 years, Flagler never violated the trust of the client's right to ownership of their own recordings. In many courts of law, there is both "Color of Law" and "Implied Contracts" that can and do both influence law and determine legal outcomes. I wouldn't want to be holding the tiger by the tail that he has just unleashed.

There is also an argument that could easily be made for proving trade custom in this case. Then there are other tacts that could be used with the courts to tie this guy up in chains and handcuffs and keep him so busy that his eyes will damned near burst under the pressure and onslaught of it all. And justifiably so. Couldn't happen to a more deserving soul in my opinion.

I am willing to state unequivocally that the one thing this guy may have thought he'd get out of it was retirement but that what he's actually going to get out of it is absolute and total ruination on many levels. This guy will find out this this is no cakewalk on Easy Street and that this road to retirement is fraught with one landmine after another. I will be surprised as hell if he "keeps either of his feet" in it all.

Lastly, he won't be invited to join the host team of this forum -- and I know that will break his heart -- but perhaps you can open a site and build a forum wherein both you and he can offer advice to the unsuspecting and unwary.
