jhameiaDisgrasian received a cease-and-desist order from Tila Tequila's people because they quoted something she said last year about the Miley Cyrus affair.
I'm not sure "BRING IT, BITCH" is something I would say to that order, but I'm pretty sure lots of people quote celebrities and other public figures a lot without getting told that they're infringing on copyright. How the hell do you copyright something you said, quite randomly, on your TV show? (Particularly when the source or the quote was quite publicly acknowledged?)
In any case, here's me putting on my hardhat, elbow and knee braces, and heavy winter boots in preparation for the fray.
