On this episode the FN boys discuss a $20 million dollar lawsuit that was awarded against a company in Canada that was scrapping (stealing) obituaries from funeral homes. Ryan and Jeff discuss the impact this could have on companies in the USA doing the exact same thing. The topic is up for debate again; who owns your obituaries?
