I mean "free to join" as in without having to pay for the expensive clothes.

Who's Robert De Niro? If it's free to join, I want to be auspicious, prospering, and flourishing too.

Because the shop would be needing to use Robert De Niro's image in order to be said to be passing off, ie obtaining financial gain from the use of this name. ie, there are 525,000 Robert De Niro's in the world,therefore who is to say it is the actor whose name is being used.

I am Robert DeNiro of Apt 115 Springdale Gardens, Hibiscus Avenue, Miami Florida USA. Are you by any chance talking about me. I am meeting with my lawyers today. What a moronic article for obvious reasons.
