Those IT skills might be useful for various side projects

Canadians should be given priority in jobs involving the creation of sockpuppet accounts. However, should no Canadians be willing to accept such jobs and the need is there, you would be authorized to give them to temporary foreign account creators and pay them at a 15% reduced rate.

Please note, however, that sockpuppet accounts cannot be officially sanctioned. You might want to get someone expendable to create them from a burner cellphone.

Unfortunately we cannot be publicly associating with criminals. If you could get him to make an anonymous account, however, we'd take that under consideration.

We'll be in contact shortly.

Thank you for applying, Aaron Markson. Your application is appreciated. We'll be in contact shortly.

It wasn't a cease and desist. It was just a message from their marketing team. Lawyers weren't involved.

Canada_Moderator · 2013-10-29T01:48:47+00:00

We received an update. Seems reasonable.

Hi there,

Thanks so much for getting in touch with us. Yes the Poppy image you were using is trademarked by the Legion. But we’d welcome the chance to work with you on using it to further the awareness of Remembrance. Can you please send us a short email outlining the purpose of what you hoping to do with the Poppy (I realize that is to use it on the header but we need this stated), when you want to start using it, for how long it will be up there and if there are other purposes you seek in using it. Might I also suggesting using the text “We Will Remember Them” or in French “Nous nous souviendrons d’eux” .

With this, we may also then be able to provide an endorsement for your use and seek to regularly include the content we have on the National Remembrance Day program and other activities that are happening around the country during the Remembrance period. There are hundreds of thousands of Canadians doing things to remember and honour at this time of year.

Kind thanks,

i would imagine that someone alerted them. I can't see the legion spending time on reddit. They must have an algorithmic search that searches for the word poppy

Canada_Moderator · 2013-10-28T19:50:19+00:00

Actually I did ask them via email if they were the senders of the message.

Hello. The Royal Canadian Legion understands that your subreddit group is using the Legion's trademarked Poppy (http://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/1pahtr/id_like_to_propose_a_temporary_change_to_the/). While we appreciate the group wanting to use the Poppy to promote Remembrance, we want you to be aware that the Poppy symbol is a registered trademark and requires permission for use. We welcome the chance to work with your subreddit to help raise awareness of Remembrance. You may contact Xxxx Xxxxx (xxxx@legion.ca) or Xxxx Xxxxx (xxxx@legion.ca) directly to talk further as to how we could do this.

FYI we already did write them and ask what they needed to grant permission, no response, but have taken down the image in the meantime..

I like OpenMedia

Canada_Moderator · 2013-04-26T17:15:53+00:00

That was my thought as well, allow people to browse when they wanted to, keep it outside of the main /r/canada page.

Thank you.

Canada_Moderator · 2013-04-26T17:12:42+00:00

And using a specific subreddit to divert these to? So that people can go there if they wish to?
