Crayola Experience Orlando
8001 S Orange Blossom Trail,
Florida 32809
"Create, Play and Have Fun at the Crayola Experience in Florida"
Have you ever wanted to bring your drawings to life, wondered how Crayola Crayons were made or create your very own puzzle? Well you can do all of that and more at the Crayola Experience in Orlando, Florida.
My boys and I had a blast interacting with all of the 25 hands on activities during our visit. Here are our 3 favorite activities. Mine was the Wrap It Up! experience. I chose my favorite crayon color, created my very own label with my name and a super cool picture, then wrapped it up and now have a crayon that is completely unique to me. Melt & Mold was a favorite for my oldest, age 9. He was able to pick out his favorite color then choose from several different molds to create a crayon that was perfectly shaped for him. He chose the shark mold. He placed his crayon in the oven then watched it drip and dry into a shark. I've got it say it was super cool! My youngest, age 7, really enjoyed making his very own puzzle. He liked it so much that he made two! He drew a picture that he loved on thick, white cardboard then placed it into the puzzle making machine and with the crank of the device had his very own puzzle. He was amazed by the entire process.
We have our favorites, but each of the interactive exhibits were so much fun! Here is a quick list of what you can experience.
Wrap It Up! - I mentioned this above. Here you can create your very own Crayola Label.
Crayon Factory - Learn about the crayon making process.
Be A Star - Create a coloring page that you and your family can "star" in. We had fun here.
Modeling Madness - Create models out of model magic. You choose your fave color from the vending machine and then create!
Art Alive! - My oldest really liked this. Here you can create a picture on what looks like an iPad and then it comes to life on a huge wall. It is pretty cool!
Toddler Town - My boys aren't toddlers but they had a blast playing on the huge light brite. There is also a playground area for the little ones.
Doodle in the Dark - Create your very own neon masterpiece.
Color Playground - Fun two-story playground with a fast slide. This kids loved this playground, they did not want to leave it.
Scribble Square - You can color on everything here. Cars, trees, the ground all of it!
Color Magic - Here I colored a fairy and she came to life on the screen. I was also able to email my creation to myself. It was pretty neat.
YouDesgin - This was fun. We colored our pictures then they came to life on a huge screen. So, I colored a car, placed it on the table and then it drove around on the wall/screen.
Drip Art - Here we twirled a piece of thick paper while melted crayons dripped onto it to create a pretty cool piece of art.
Melt & Mold - This was a favorite of ours. Here you can melt crayons into your favorite mold to create a fun and unique character. You can choose from a ring, shark, car and more.
Puzzle It! - Another one of our favorites. Here you can create your very own puzzle.
Paint Palette, Meltdown, Stomp & Play and Rainbow Rain are other interactive experiences that you will find at the Crayola Experience.
Each of the 25 Crayola Experiences were fascinating. I liked that my boys were able to have fun and learn about the history of Crayola as well as what goes into making the crayons that they use everyday. I liked that they were not just playing but that they were also creating and finding new ways to be creative with their crayons. I highly recommend a visit to the Crayola Experience in Orlando you and your family will have a great time together!
Purchase your tickets online for a discount.
They were thinking of us when they built their restrooms. They are nice and big. They also have a family restroom and a decent sized nursing mothers room.
Lockers are available if needed.
There is a cafe so you can have lunch and snacks if you would like.
There is a store inside of the experience and outside of it so bring some extra spending money.
There are group rates for parties, schools and such so give them a call or check their website if you will be visiting with a large group.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium
249 Windward Passage,
Florida 33767
"Immerse Yourself in the Dolphin Tale Movies"
Visiting the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida was such a treat for my boys, ages 9 and 7. They loved the Dolphin Tale movies so having the opportunity to meet Winter and Hope in real life was an amazing experience.
The aquarium is home to several animals and fun, educational exhibits. A few of our favorite exhibits were Winter Zone, Stingray Beach and Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure.
Winter Zone is the place to be if you want to meet the famous Winter and Hope. You will have the opportunity to watch the dolphins swim around during your entire visit, but, hang out around this zone if you would like to watch one of Winter's therapy sessions. When asked about the therapy schedule we were told that it changes all that time to keep Winter from getting into a "rut". They did make an announcement before starting so when you visit be sure to listen for that. Watching her train is pretty amazing and one of the main events that sets this aquarium apart from others. There are two viewing areas. You can watch Winter from the Winter Zone or walk down the stairs to Shipwreck Alley where you will receive an underwater showing. Both are amazing! Seeing an animal, a dolphin, swimming with a prosthetic is just awe-inspiring.
Stingray Beach was another favorite for my boys. At this animal encounter we were able to pet the stingray while having all of our questions answered by the helpful and kind aquarium staff. Visitors can also feed the stingray and learn from a presentation during scheduled times. There is just something about having the opportunity to get wet while petting sea creatures that excites children!
Included with your aquarium ticket is a tour of Winter's Dolphin Tale Adventure. A free trolley is available for those who would like to get an insider's experience of the movie. There were many exhibits displaying and explaining the props that were used during filming. The hurricane exhibit was one that I enjoyed the most. It was not a hurricane machine. You actually walk through parts of the set used during the hurricane scene in Dolphin Tale. I've got to say it was pretty amazing! In fact, we walked through it twice.
When visiting Clearwater, Florida you and your family should definitely make the time to visit the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. There you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Dolphin Tale movies and create a deeper understanding for both yourself and children of what goes into rescuing and keeping our sea animals safe.

Sand Glo Villas
19316 Gulf Blvd.,
Indian Shores, Florida
"Your Beachside Home Away From Home"
Sand Glo Villas located in Indian Shores, Florida is your beachside home away from home with a beautifully serene view and vibe. This beachside gated community consists of 6 villas, each of which have nice sized kitchens,spacious floor plans and friendly neighbors.
Check-in was super relaxed and easy. Sand Glo Villas does not have a check-in office so when we arrived we just gave Kat a call, she let us know which room was ours, that it was ready for us and that we could go on up!
My family of four, which includes my two boys ages 7 and 9, enjoyed a stay in the two Bedroom Gulf Front Villa (#6). It was a large villa with plenty of room for us to spread out, relax and enjoy the unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. The villa included two bedrooms, two full sized bathrooms, a nice sized kitchen, dining and living area and a nice sized deck. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed during our stay, except for food, of course. Laminate and tile flooring was installed throughout which made cleaning up after the kid's sandy feet a breeze. A table and chairs on the back deck provided us with the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and the arrival of new day. Because we were literally right on the beach the boys were able to go outside and play in the sugary white sand while my husband and I tidied things up a bit before enjoying the beach ourselves. Our bedroom overlooked the Gulf so the loveseat located right next to our windows made for a relaxing place to say goodbye to the sun and settle in for the evening.
Sand Glo Villas have several amenities for you to enjoy during your stay. First of all there is the beach. It just doesn't get any better than that. Then there is the free kayak, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys that guests are welcome to use at their leisure. There are cookies on Mondays and breakfast on Sundays. A washer and dryer are available for use for about $1.25 a load. There is an outside shower, a swing and grill. Fishing from the beach is a must so when you are ready to cook your catch the outdoor grill comes in handy!
Villa rates starts at about $125. Oh, and Sand Glo is pet friendly so if you want to bring Fido you can with prior approval and a $50 pet fee. You and your family really could just spend all day at the beach fishing, shelling, birding or just chilling but if you would like to visit a few attractions then there are plenty for you to see. Just check Sand Glo's website for all the details and fun things to do. Everyone is treated like family at Sand Glo it is the perfect place for you and your kiddos to unwind, connect and just enjoy each other's company.
Sand Glo Villas is a member of the Superior Small Lodging Association which means you can be assured of high standards of cleanliness, amenities and service.
Redington Shores Bait & Tackle is a great place to get your bait. They know what's biting and where the good fishing spots are for the time of day you will be fishing.
Indian Shores Coffee Company is just a few steps from Sand Glo. They serve up some great coffee and fun!
Publix is a great place for you to stock up on your food for the week.
Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf is a fun and unique course located within walking distance of the villas. You can feed alligators in between your swings!

Ebb Tide Waterfront Resort
621 Bay Esplanade,
Clearwater, Florida
"Slow Down and Enjoy the Florida Life"
Stepping into Ebb Tide Waterfront Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida is like stepping back in time to when life was slower and conversations between neighbors flowed like the ocean's tide. The sparkling blue water of the resort pool and the deep blue waters of Mandalay Bay will greet you and your family as you enter the lobby. Books, couches and lounging chairs are sprinkled throughout the lobby and pool deck. Fishermen and their wives may occupy a few chairs while laughing and sharing a few drinks during your stay.
Checking in to Ebb Tide was effortless during my visit. Marysia greeted myself and my family, walked us up to our suite, told us everything we needed to know about the property, shared a few insider tips about the city and then let us know that she was just a phone call away.
Our suite was extremely large. We enjoyed the Manatee 2 - Waterfront Two Bedroom/Two Bathroom Unit on the Second Floor. It was about 1,000 sf and the perfect size for my family of 4 which includes two boys, ages 9 and 7. The outside walls of the living area contained windows all around so we had a great view of the bay and the pool below. Both bedrooms had several windows which allowed for more great views of the bay. The kitchen and eating area were huge and fully equipped. I loved it and so did the kiddos!
The resort offered several amenities. One of our favorites was the fishing dock. The boys and my husband spent several hours catching fish from it. There were holders for your fishing poles, chairs, lights and a cleaning station for your fish. The pool was nice as it was raised up a bit so that you could watch the bay while lounging poolside. Pool toys and beach toys were available for guests to use as well. An assortment of books were available in the lobby as was a washer and dryer.
The beach is located just a few blocks from the resort so if you prefer spending your days at the beach then that is totally doable!
Ebb Tide Resort is a quiet, relaxed community that you and your family are sure to enjoy. It's location is perfect as you are close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Clearwater Beach as well as the quiet outskirts. So, you have the option to experience both depending on your mood.
Ebb Tide Resort in Clearwater Beach, Florida is a member of the Superior Small Lodging Association which means you can be assured of high standards of cleanliness, amenities and service.
Pick up the Florida Info. Guide & Where to Dine magazine as it contains coupons, some unique information about the city and games you and your family can enjoy while in Clearwater Beach.
The Clearwater Aquarium is right up the road. Be sure to visit Winter and Hope during your stay.
At dusk vendors sell their wares at Pier60. It's a neat experience that you're sure to enjoy.

"Delicious Greek Baked Goods and Coffees"
During a quick trip to the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida we decided to enjoy a Greek snack at Hella's.

The Children's Defense Fund initiated its national Cradle to Prison Pipeline campaign to reduce the detention and incarceration of youth and young adults by increasing the preventative supports and services children need, such as quality early childhood development, education services, and comprehensive health and mental health coverage. The Children's Defense Fund – NY's Education Justice work aims to replace punitive and exclusionary school discipline and safety policies that push New York City's children, especially children of color, children with disabilities and LGBTQ youth, out of school and into the criminal justice system. In working toward this goal, CDF-NY partners with the Dignity in Schools Campaign, Student Safety Coalition and Bronx School Justice Working Group to advocate for the use of Restorative Justice and alternative discipline practices in NYC schools. We also partner with the School Safety Division to provide workshops on restorative practice and the Cradle to Prison Pipeline to school safety agents. Our overall goal is to improve education outcomes for youth by keeping them in school with the support of caring communities, and out of court!

Really looking for someone to talking to and chill with. Go out and do things. I spend too much time alone.
Looking for two types of friends
A Friend - hang out, talk, watch stuff, shop etc
And A Friend with Befits - all the same stuff as a friend but with sex.
Why you might ask. Well I am dating a lovely sweetie thing but shes Asexual (no sex drive or sexual feelings) and my sexual enery needs to go somewhere.
I can be a fun guy, like joking around and hanging out. I don't do clubs and bars but I do like drinking and hanging out just not in public..
I play games and watch geeky thing when I have time to but must of the time I am working or being with friends.
Most people would say I am a nice guy who would get out of his way to help others, that I am well dressed and have beautiful blue eyes.
I live by the words of Dr Seuss "Why fit in when your born to stand out?" and "Only you can control your future"

" So it was amazing to see him play today. Everyone at the club worked so hard to get here and I am just chuffed for everyone at Sholing."
Former Sholing skipper and lifetime president Bill Boyle was watching in the royal box.
The 80-year-old who used to captain the side from 1960 to 1976, never thought he would see them play at Wembley.
He said: "This is one of the best moments of my life - to see Sholing win the Vase at Wembley is unbelievable."
While his friend Arthur Fox watched on with him, he said: "It was just unbelievable, it brought a tear to my eye to be honest. For me it is the pinnacle of all the hard work we have put in at the club over the years."
Chris Brown came to the match to watch his brother Matt, who picked up the man-of-the-match award for his superb performance in goal.
He said: "My brother was clear man of the match today, he won the game for Sholing and made some amazing saves."
The club's victory wasn't just welcomed by those at the game, city leaders in Southampton were quick to post congratulations on social media.
Leader of the Conservatives in Southampton, Royston Smith, said: "Congratulations to Sholing FC on winning the FA Vase today. What a season."

Social Media Law & Policy Report Article on Enforcing Online Promotion Terms Now Available
I wrote an article for the Bloomberg BNA Social Media Law & Policy Report entitled "How to Enforce Terms of Service for Online Social Media Promotions and Contests." We tried to squeeze in a few more keywords. The full article is available at the link below.
Bloomberg BNA Social Media Law & Policy Report – WorkSite Acrobat Integration
Using Images Without Permission is No Monkey Business
Who owns the rights to a selfie taken by a monkey? While it sounds like a law school exam, it is based on a real story as reported here by the American Bar Association.
According to the article, a monkey picked up the photographer's unattended camera and began taking pictures. This is one of the images captured by the monkey.
The nature photographer claims he owns the copyright. Meanwhile, the Wikimedia Commons website has been distributing the picture for free and has refused to take it down.
Usually, the rule is that whoever takes a photograph owns the copyright as discussed with the famous Ellen DeGeneres Oscars selfie. Wikimedia is claiming animals can't own copyrights unless a human adds a significant creative element to the picture. Hence, Wikimedia says there is no copyright with the picture.
Under U.S. Copyright law, to be entitled to the copyright, you have the be the "author" of the work which is normally the person who created the work and the basis for the general rule when it comes to photographs.
The U.S. Copyright Office has a rule that the work must be of "human authorship" and works created mechanically or by random selection, without any human contribution, are not eligible for a copyright. The photographer's claim that the picture was a result of his hard work may not succeed under U.S. law. It's not the amount effort that counts, it's the inclusion of human creative originality.
The blawgosphere is offering many opinions on this. For example, Steve Baird suggests that perhaps the monkey is the photographer's assistant and therefore the credit for the picture goes to the photographer. Matthew David Bozik opines that perhaps it is a joint work. We will have to see what tactic the photographer takes.
In the meantime, what can you do to avoid the same problem short of making the animal sign a work for hire agreement? You can do post-production work on the photograph that provides its own original creative touch to it without releasing the original. While it may not be a selfie if you remotely take the picture, you would still be considered the one who clicked the button. According to the articles, the photographer went through a lot of effort to make this happen – will he get the credit?
Website Operator Not Liable for UGC; Also, Sun Rises in the East
Last month, the Sixth Circuit ruled that website operators are not liable for content provided by others (User Generated Content or UGC) because of Section 230 immunity under the Communications Decency Act in the Jones v. Dirty World Entertainment decision.
Based on the history of the CDA, that should be no surprise. However, internet lawyers were watching this case closely because a federal judge let a defamation case go to trial and this could have created a hole in the CDA defense. Alas, the court of appeals ruled the way most experts expected and the world can return to normal.
We posted about the trial court's decision before. Last summer, a jury found TheDirty.com "encouraged the development of what is offensive" and was therefore liable for the defamatory posts about former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones. The jury awarded Jones $38,000 in actual damages and $300,000 in punitive damages.
As a refresher, Section 230 of the CDA provides: "[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." Because the websites are not the publisher or speaker, the sites can't be liable for defamation. Most courts immediately dismiss website operators from defamation suits when the claim is based on UGC.
Jones sued Dirty World Entertainment Recordings which owns TheDirty.com. The site, as expected, immediately filed a motion to dismiss the complaint because the claims were based primarily on the UGC. The trial judge denied the motion arguing the defendant purposefully seeks out and encourages defamatory content. The court wrote "the very name of the site, the manner in which it is managed, and the personal comments of defendant Richie" shows that the site "specifically encouraged development of what is offensive about the content."
The court of appeals said the trial court erred when it held The Dirty was the "creator" or "developer" of the offensive content and when the trial court allowed a "encouragement test" that would cause a website to lose the CDA immunity.
The Sixth Circuit instead implemented the more accepted material contribution test requiring evidence the website operator was "responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development" of the defamatory content. Based on this test, the appellate court found the website did not "author" the statements, pay for the content and did not require defamatory content to use the site. The court also confirmed there was no liability for selecting the content or refusing to edit the content.
What does it mean?
The CDA has been a very effective tool for website operators. Imagine if Facebook or YouTube could be sued for defamation. Those sites would not exist. With the good, comes the like of The Dirty. There is an old saying that "bad facts make bad law." That almost happened in this case. TheDirty.com asks people to "submit dirt." The submission form has entries for the "dirt," and provides a link to upload photographs. More reputable websites, don't have this feature. But, if The Dirty is protected, then you should have no worries that your more mainstream site will also be protected. If there is going to be any changes to allow for liability for those who "encourage" defamation, the change will have to come from the state house and not the court house.
Facebook Demands Court Order for Local Threats – Internet Privacy Always Sounds Good In Theory
This weekend The Houston Chronicle reported Facebook did not turn over information requested by local authorities in response to death threats. People have been criticizing social media companies for turning over data to government entities. This time Facebook demanded a court order and now people are upset. It shows how it is a difficult situation for online companies and sometimes they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
According to the article, a Facebook message said a user was "Going to kill everyone in Splendora on July 13th." Local officials asked Facebook for information, but the site told them to come back with a court order. According to Facebook, the government officials never did.
A Facebook spokesperson is quoted as saying:
We promptly review and respond to all emergency requests. In this case, we reviewed the matter and asked to police to send us legal process or a court order for the requested information. The police have yet to send us any formal request.
According to Facebook, on their Facebook and Law Enforcement page:
We take the privacy of your information very seriously. If Facebook receives an official request for account records, we first establish the legitimacy of the request. When responding, we apply strict legal and privacy requirements. . . .
We work with law enforcement to help people on Facebook stay safe. This sometimes means providing information to law enforcement officials that will help them respond to emergencies, including those that involve the immediate risk of harm, suicide prevention and the recovery of missing children. We may also supply law enforcement with information to help prevent or respond to fraud and other illegal activity, as well as violations of the Facebook Terms.
This appears to be a Not In My Backyard situation online. We all want Internet privacy, but when we perceive the threat is against our community, our principles get challenged.
I don't believe the demand for a court order was out of line. I am sure the law enforcement officials would have preferred just to be handed the information. I stand to be corrected by those more familiar with criminal law procedure, but getting an appropriate order from a judge should not have been too onerous. Although Facebook did not apparently turn over the information right away, I suspect this is not over and the investigation will continue.
A suspect has been taken into custody according to KHOU-TV11 after some unspecified cooperation from Facebook. A 13-year-old girl is surely regretting her actions.
Supreme Court determines Aereo violates copyright – back to the drawing board
This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that Aereo violates copyright law by retransmitting over-the-air programming without authorization. This will shut down the controversial start-up or force them back to the drawing board to come up with a new system. The sound you heard was a huge sigh of relief of all over-the-air networks, cable carriers and content creators because this would have caused everyone to re-evaluate how programming is broadcast, and more importantly, paid for.
For those not familiar with Aereo, it essentially allowed users to "rent" an antennae that would pick up a signal at a certain point. Aereo would then take that over the air signal and send it to the user's phone so they could stream the content from their phones.
The issue was whether this was a "public performance" of the copyrighted works. Aereo said it was not because the users could receive the same content for free if they had antennas attached to their TV at home. Aereo merely re-transmitted the same content to allows users to access it on their phone privately.
The networks sued Aereo almost as soon as it launched in 2012. They argued the simultaneous broadcasts to thousands of paying customers represented an illegal retransmission of protected works — even if you called it renting an antenna.
Actually, everyone can give a sigh a relief. Had Aereo won, the broadcast networks said they would stop providing content. The cable companies pay the networks a lot of money to retransmit the over the air channels and this would have changed everything.
While this is a blow to Aereo and possibly innovation – at least through this specific model – the world as we knew it before Aero will continue.
The Law and Unpaid Interns – Repost
Originally published last year, but worth revisiting
As the summer arrives in full force, I am watching a lot of my start-up friends take advantage of the unpaid internship to help with some needed coding, design or marketing projects they haven't gotten to. These kids are smart, hungry, can use the experience and wouldn't it be nice to have someone pick up coffee and donuts for you once in awhile?
As my Gray Reed colleague Michael Kelsheimer explains in a prior post on his Texas Employer Handbook blog, you have to be careful when using unpaid labor.
- the training is similar to that which would be given in a vocational school (even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer);
- the training is for the benefit of the trainees;
- the trainees do not displace regular employees, but work under their close observation;
- the employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the trainees, and on occasion operations may actually be impeded;
- the trainees are not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the training period; and
- the employer and the trainees understand that the trainees are not entitled to wages for the time spent training.
Copyrights, Fair Use and Elections
The mid-terms are coming up, so you know there will be stories of politicians getting into clashes with artists over the use of songs and other content in ads and at rallies. In Texas, for better or worse, the real competition is often in the Republican primary and several run-offs have already brought up some copyright issues.
But it's a fair use!
Many ads use snippets from copyrighted TV news stories or headlines from local papers often citing fair use. Fair use is an affirmative defense to a copyright violation meaning, it is the campaign's burden to prove the use was fair. Fair use is a factually-specific inquiry and there is no bright line test. Courts consider these four factors:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
A Texas Showdown Example
Dan Branch is a candidate in a run-off for Texas Attorney General. NBC-owned Dallas station KXAS is arguing the Branch campaign used too much footage from its copyrighted newscast in this letter.
Specifically, NBC says the ad features "extensive use" of the story and features the voice and likeness of their anchor. All but two seconds of music at the beginning is the TV news story. NBC also says the use of the footage makes it appear the anchor and the station support the candidate and creates questions of journalistic integrity.
You can see the ad here for yourself.
NBC has demanded that the campaign cease further dissemination of the ad. As of today, the video was still up under TexansforDanBranch on YouTube.
The run-off for the Republican primary in the race for Lt. Governor has gotten more attention including this ad:
Parody is also a defense to a copyright claim. Yes, even bad parodies can be protected. Just think what happens when the ads start focusing on the people in the other party.
You've looked at my site and now you have waived your right to sue me. Is that legal?
I'll admit, General Mills did not go that far. What they did, according to The New York Times was notify customers that if they downloaded a coupon, joined a forum or entered a sweepstakes, the customer would waive their right to sue in court and would have to go through an online "informal negotiation" or arbitration.
Since the story broke, General Mills is trying to backtrack. For example, General Mills admitted it would not apply if you interacted with the company on Facebook or simply purchased one of its products at a store, but that the company could enforce it if you interacted on the company's website.
However, there was a pop-up notice on the company's home page that "require[s] all disputes related to the purchase or use of any General Mills product or service to be resolved through binding arbitration." Consumer watchdogs were concerned General Mills was trying to escape all liability for mislabeling claims or damages related to product recalls just because you "liked" a Facebook page or purchased a product at your local grocery.
In two recent cases, the Supreme Court has held related clauses to be enforceable. In June 2013, in American Express v. Italian College Restaurant, the Court enforced an arbitration clause between AmEx and the merchandisers. Two years before that in AT&T Mobility vs. Concepcion, the Court upheld a class action waiver.
Yet, there is still, and always will be, the issue of consent. When I buy Lucky Charms for my kids (I know, Dad of the Year), I am not consenting to a long list of terms of conditions. I am buying cereal. A court would be hard-pressed to find I consented to a long list of terms and conditions on the General Mills website. That would not be magically delicious in the least bit.
On the other hand, if I download a coupon, or enter a sweepstakes, I would not be surprised to have a pop-up that requires me to agree to terms and conditions no one reads. I might waive my rights to file a class action or a jury trial as it relates to that particular transaction. In fact, I would not be surprised if this practice becomes more prevalent.
There may be some issues as to whether downloading a Cheerios coupon means I agreed to waive claims against Haagen Dazs in an unrelated transaction.
Despite the fact social media and the internet have made things a little more complicated and hard to keep up with, the basics of contract law still apply. To bind a consumer, you need to show they consented to the terms which is why a click-wrap agreement is preferred over a browse-wrap agreement. On top of that, especially when it comes to jury and class action waivers, you need to satisfy both procedural and substantive conscionability.
Infographic: The Use of Images From The Web on Your Site, Newspaper or Broadcast
We created this infographic for some of our media clients to give them a one-page cheat sheet on the analysis they need to do when trying to decide whether they can use an image from the internet in a pinch.
The infographic includes all the caveats because rarely can a legal issue be discerned down to one page with so few words. In fact, I wrote a three-part series on this very topic last year.

#SMH-butnotacontestorsweepstakes – Check your online promotion hashtag or face scrutiny from the FTC
As we have reported before, the Federal Trade Commission requires the disclosure of any "material connection" offered in exchange for an online endorsement or post in their Online Endorsement Guidelines. Now, they are applying those rules to online promotions that require contestants to post, tweet or pin certain message to participate.
For those of you with short attention spans, this means that you should make all contestants post, pin, hashtag or use some method that notifies everyone that whatever content the contestants are submitting is part of a contest or sweepstakes. It could require the use of the word "contest" or "sweepstakes" in all hashtags or posts. Otherwise, the FTC believes consumers are misled by your friend's endorsement of a product if they don't know you endorsed it to enter a contest or sweepstakes.
The guidance comes to us courtesy of the FTC's recent investigation of Cole Haan. The shoe and fashion company conducted a Pinterest contest where contestants had to use the hashtag #WanderingSole. In addition, contestants had to pin five images on the board posting their favorite places to wander. Cole Haan was giving away a $1,000 shopping spree to the most creative entries.
The FTC investigated. Although the FTC decided not to act in this instance, it indicated future contest sponsors may not be so fortunate. Under Section 5 of the FTC Act, the FTC has the ability to pursue claims for "unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce." By not disclosing a "material connection" between an online endorsement and anything of value the brand may be offering, the FTC suggests you may be engaging in unfair or deceptive acts.
In the Cole Haan case, The FTC determined that each "pin" was an endorsement of the brand and the opportunity to win $1,000 in exchange for the pin was a material connection that should have been disclosed. Simply requiring "#WanderingSole" was not enough to inform other consumers who may view the pins, that they were part of a contest.
Despite these findings, the FTC decided not bring an enforcement action and therefore closed the investigation. The main reason for the lack of enforcement is this was the first time the FTC addressed the issue of whether contests provide a "material connection" offered in exchange for a social media or online action. You can therefore consider this to be the FTC's warning. If you are doing a contest that requires posting, pinning, tweeting or something similar, then make sure the hashtag includes something that tells the market, this is a contest or sweepstakes. It could be as simple as "#WanderingSoleContest" or "#WanderingSoleSweeps".
In addition, contest and sweepstakes rules should be prominently displayed so consumers know people are being asked to submit content as part of the contest.
While this may be taking the Online Endorsement Guides a little too far, and the FTC may not prevail in an enforcement action, you are better off letting someone else fight that battle as opposed to you. The safest course is to require contest or sweepstakes in your user generated content.
This guidance is just one more thing to consider when engaging in online marketing and contests. If you are offering anyone, anything of value (which, apparently now is the opportunity to win a prize, but was more traditionally free product) in exchange for content, then you need to consider including a disclosure of the connection.
You can find read the FTC Closing Letter here, the Online Endorsement Guidelines here, a discussion of the guidelines here, more about appropriate social media policies to address these issues here, and read more about legally compliant online promotions and contests here.

The Dalton Academy Warblers rehearse a high-energy rendition of Maroon 5's "Misery," but Kurt is feeling that Blaine is getting all of the group's solo attention, saying, "Sometimes I feel like we're 'Blaine and the Pips.'"
Meanwhile, Rachel unveils her original composition for Finn, culled from her personal pain: "Only Child," in which she laments that her dads never gave her another sibling. Finn admits that it's better than her "Headband" tune but suggests that she's not really tapping true emotions, only acting them out - she needs to search deep inside herself to find what to write about.
Quinn continues her mission to reestablish her relationship with Finn, but it continues to seem driven by her burning desire to become prom queen. She worries that the allure of Rachel's talent may cause her to lose Finn, and she plots to make her play perfectly with the old maxim "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," becoming Rachel's best friend.
Under Kurt's guardianship, the Warblers' canary mascot, Pavarotti, dies. Distraught, Kurt sings The Beatles' "Blackbird" in tribute as the Warblers join in.
Will informs the glee club that their plan to perform My Chemical Romance's "Sing" at Regionals has been shut down. The band has sent them a cease-and-desist letter, thanks to Sue's scheming: she met the drummer at a drum circle years earlier "and had a brief affair," then she told him a scam story of Will's "long-running legal battle with PETA." Because she blames him for the loss of her Cheerios, she warns Will to consider her act "the first salvo in World War Sue." When Quinn backs Rachel's suggestion to perform an original song and offers to help her write one, Will agrees to the plan.
Santana is still hurting from being rejected by Brittany and plans to write her own heterosexual love song about Sam to present to the glee club. Noticing the friction between them, Sue reminds them of their betrayal and that she plays dirty, and when they open their lockers dirt spills all over them.
Blaine steps up and tells the Warblers that he's tired of leading every song and thinks their current performance formula will lead them to defeat against New Directions - they need to show more talent diversity. He argues to add a duo lead at Regionals, specifically with Kurt. The Warblers agree.
Santana unveils the song she's co-written with Tina for the glee club, a sensual ode to Sam called "Troutymouth." But Sam objects to all the joke-y references to his mouth, and Will thinks it lacks the epic feel needed for Regionals. Puck also tries out his own song, written in honor of Lauren: "Big Ass . . . Heart."
Quinn wants Finn to help her launch their campaign for prom king and queen, but he wants to now put it off until after Nationals in deference to Rachel's fragile emotions. Quinn's reaction scares him into agreeing to kick off their campaign after Regionals - and Rachel overhears everything.
As Kurt decorates Pavarotti's casket, Blaine asks him to help practice the song he's chosen for their duet: "Candles" by Hey Monday. He wants something a little more emotional than his usual Top 40 choices. Blaine admits that he had a surprise revelation after being moved listening to Kurt sing "Blackbird." He's fallen for Kurt, and the duet is an excuse to spend more time together. They kiss. Kurt is dumbfounded - and thrilled.
Mercedes unleashes her original song "Hell to the No," which everyone loves, but Will's not sure it's quite Regionals material. Pointing out that the greatest songs address some kind of personal pain, Will encourages the students to tap a great hurt for their tune, and the students realize that Sue Sylvester has been the source of their greatest torment. When Finn says that Sue's torture tactics hurt at first but ultimately makes you want to win, Will thinks they may have just discovered their original song: "Loser Like Me."
Rachel tells Quinn that she thinks they've been through enough to be honest with each other, and she asks her if Quinn and Finn are back together. Quinn admits the truth, but she is rough with Rachel's feelings, telling her that Rachel and Finn were never meant to be together. Quinn explains they she has her future with Finn all mapped out, and she wants Rachel to finally get out of the picture - in her eyes, if Rachel continues her desperate search for a fantasy happy ending, she'll "never get it right." Hurt, Rachel decides to write her original material on her own, and tearfully composes a song called "Get It Right."
Sue admits that she forged the letter from My Chemical Romance, but Will thanks her for inspiring New Directions to step up their game. At Regionals, New Directions prepares to face the judges: anchorman Rod Remington, recent Tea Party candidate and homeschooler Tammy Jean Albertson (played by Kathy Griffin), and nun/writer - and former exotic dancer - Sister Mary Constance (played by Loretta Devine).
Sue's team, Oral Intensity, kicks off the competition with "Jesus Is My Friend," by Christian ska group Sonseed, to shamelessly court the judges and the crowd. Kurt's nervous for his duet, but Blaine reassures him as the Warblers take the stage for a beautiful performance of "Candles," then a high-octane spin on Pink's "Raise Your Glass," led by Blaine.
Before New Directions' performance, Finn tells Rachel to break a leg, and she remembers how last year he told her that he loved her. Taking the stage, Rachel pours out her melancholy feelings in "Get It Right," and it clearly has a powerful effect on Finn. Then the entire show choir tears into their next original tune, "Loser Like Me." The crowd embraces the song (waving giant foam fingers in the classic Loser "L" shape), and the song's meaning sinks in on Sue, and the glee club finishes the performance by tossing confetti slushies at the audience.
The judges debate the merits of the performances: Sister Mary Constance has some reservations about the gay aspects of the Warblers' performance, and - inspired by his hairdresser's long relationship - Rod suggests that it shouldn't matter. But Tammy Jean argues against it, pushing for Oral Intensity's religious routine. She also argues against New Directions' loser message, but Rod's ready to put it to a vote. The state governor's wife takes the stage to announce the outcome - after randomly announcing that "My husband is verbally abusive, and I have been drinking since noon." The winning choir is New Directions - they've won their berth at Nationals. Incensed, Sue punches out the governor's wife onstage.
Kurt and Blaine lay Pavarotti to rest, but Kurt's more upset about Regionals. Blaine reminds him that in their own way, they did win - they found each other, "and that beats a lousy trophy, don't you think?" While encouraging continued teamwork as they begin to prepare for Nationals, Will also wants to start a tradition of singling out an MVP on the show choir. By unanimous vote, Rachel earns the MVP honors.
She tells the glee club that despite winning trophies in the past, she's felt she's always missed out on "the brass ring." Because her fellow students believed in her and supported her, she feels special and chosen at last.
