If she owns the sun, she then powers the earth.
producers, consumers, secondary consumers, solar panels and everything that uses energy in our heliosphere owes a fee to her. somebody slap this woman silly.

btw: just because something is legal doesn't mean you are/n't + Show Spoiler +

Doing the right thing

+ Show Spoiler +

not pissing a whole lot of people off

+ Show Spoiler +

being a total asshole

anyway, even though she only gets 10% of every fee, she'll still be a trillionaire.

someones gotta talk some sense into her.

This is how people started to claim land and why you now have to pay for and can have ownership over land.

I don't see her name on it. But I wonder since it says only countries if in the future huge corporations will go out and explore and claim stuff. Oh well by that time the Earth will be unified like in Mass Effect and then we will all own stuff in space, hopefully.

This is awesome, good on her. I'm claiming Saturn, and anyone who argues will have to step over my corpse.

This lady must have been wearing NO PANTS or any clothes at all for that matter if it caused burns of that severity. Either that, or she just has some of the weakest skin known to man...This lady was just a pussy. End of story.

There is a third alternative - your ignorance. As already stated, the temperature of the coffee had the potential to cause third degree burns, which did in fact happen. Worse is that this woman was wearing cotton sweat pants which stuck to her skin as a result of the spilt coffee. But why am I explaining this to you? Go read the case for yourself, maybe then you can come back with something that hasn't already been argued.

So, as of this morning, I have filed claims to the Milky Way area of our Universe.

For now I do not plan to charge people for living in my territory, I might in the future charge $1per person. This fee will have to be paid every year of course, as I am fairly reasonable person.

p.s. I am in no way shape or form responsible for cosmic events that might destroy your property and or planet.

Dance.

thanks gnosis

just annoys me when people think "herp derp of course coffee is hot dont spill it on yourself dummy" =(
im sure y'all expect (in liebeck's case) days of hospital stay to undergo skin grafting and losing 20% of your bodyweight if you spill a coffee on yourself, right

All im saying is, she should've been more careful. If you purchase a lambo and drive it on the autobahn at 300km/h and crash it and paralyze yourself, would you sue them because they made a car go too fast?

Mcdonalds can't be responsible for other peoples stupidity. If this case holds up, then why hasn't every fat person in the US sued mcdonalds for making them fat?

It's reasonable to expect a normal person to know that crashing a car when you're going real fast will hurt you, a lot. It's not so reasonable to expect coffee to do so much damage you need skin grafts. I mean, we've all spilled boiling water or coffee or whatever on ourselves before, how many times did it result in such serious injury we needed to go to the hospital?

There actually was a lawsuit against McDonald's for making two kids fat (Pelman v McDonald's Corp) and they had a legitimate case (although it failed) as, while it might be reasonable to expect fast food to be unhealthy, it's unreasonable to expect people to know just how incredibly bad it can be - ie cause massive obesity in children. It sparked off a wave of lawsuits against McDonald's in many states for corporate liability and the huge anti-fast food wave of the early 00s was what led to such "health food" reform and nutrition focus in fast food chains.

Plainly speaking, it's okay to blame people for being stupid and not knowing the risks of something they're doing, but not okay when there's no way of them knowing just how incredible those risks are (because you never tell them).

Two minutes of continous contact with water at 65C, the recommended temperature at which to drink coffee, will cause third degree burns too. Water at any temperature over 45C is dangerous if you are exposed to it long enough and the method of her exposure ensured that she was exposed to it for long enough.

On-topic, its funny as hell and lol at all the people taking it seriously.

At one point in history people use to claim ownership of other people. The only reason people take any kind of ownership of things that they did not produce or earn is because of the threat of force. If it was China or the US claiming ownership of the sun I am sure this claim would be taken seriously but because this women can't do !@#! to any of use we can just laugh and ridiculer her.

So where can i purchase the Andromeda galaxy?

Anything you see that is or is representing the Andromeda galaxy are my property. All need to pay a $1 dollar fee.

Don't worry, 10% of the collected money goes to my savings. I will eventually try to buy the Sombrero galaxy, where everyone is welcome to stay.

I thought monopolies weren't allowed. So you can't control one level of production, thus this should be illegal.

Haha I hope lots of people sue her for damages done because her sun destroyed stuff. She already owes me 1 carton of milk + a set of curtains + emotional stress.

Some black ops group should assassinate her and steal the claim back. This could get interesting.

Looks like someone beat this chick to the punch. She should do her research first next time.

This guy also does it the right way by first and foremost saying he isn't responsible for Skin Cancer, Sunburns, etc. He was also introduced by one UN offical to another as "The Man Who Owns The Sun" so I think this guys claim is more legit. Also this guy isn't trying to charge for the use of the sun like other wannabe sun-owners.

I would love if this guy read the report and decided to make a fool of her. He clearly dislikes this sort of thing, so he should indeed set an example.
