I bet they'd eat it up. If you sent a link to Boingboing I bet they'd do a post about it. And if Boingboing covered this, everyone would know about it in a week. Boingboing does a lot of posts about copyright issues too. They usually take the "fair use" side of the argument but because it's a big company that might be screwing a little guy, I bet they'd cover it. Have you thought about taking this story to the media?

They heard your concerns but just didn't care. Who are you to tell doritos what to do? They made up their minds and it wouldn't mattered if you presented them with a truckload of evidence. hey would have just done what they wanted because who cares what you think. As someone who submitted an entry, I expected doritos to judge the contest fairly. It's obvious that they didn't. On behalf of all of us losers I hope you show these people that they can't use of then ignore us when we complain about getting screwed.

Hope you know a good lawyer because you have a case my friend. This just proves this whole contest was rigged. Your point about the originality score is dead on.
