...oh, I should google it, maybe?.. no need to be sarcastic mate - we're here to help each other, I was merely letting you know what an australian lawyer told me... hell, why should I listen to her?!.. [She's only an IP spe******t..pffft]

...Yep, no worries.

No hard feelings mate, this is a forum, people are here to learn and offer suggestions. I apologise if you are a lawyer and spe******e in Australian intellectual property... my bad, but otherwise - it's all good eh.
