The rest of my family? Well, I'm pretty sure we're responsible for about 40% of global bandwidth usage during prime time.

"Language Police"

Anything after that is kind of irrelevant.

The 1st link is to the Florida case that was resolved last year. The 2nd and 3rd links are about a Missouri case that was decided this week and only the 2nd even mentions the Florida case. The summary makes it sound like this is all about the Florida case.

The point stands, i.e., this has been ok'd in court in 2 jurisdictions, but what in the actual fuck, Soulskill?

Or, it's a game show that people watch to be entertained and perhaps they don't find it as entertaining, regardless of whether or not it's a smart strategy.

Ken Jennings won 3 million dollars and something like 75 matches in a row on Jeopardy. But, he did it in an entertaining enough fashion, so people didn't bitch like this. It's not about hating on the smart guy.

There was a bill to do so. They tabled hearings on it because of public opinion. Learn the process and write intelligently about it.

Yes, very specific uses. Windows, Apple, etc. But, this isn't specific - games and clothing. I have a hard time trusting King (or any other business) when they say, "Oh, we trademarked the word in a really generic fashion, but don't worry, we only enforce in specific instances."

The issue isn't that Hasbro should have already trademarked "candy", it's that "candy" shouldn't be able to be trademarked at all. It's a common freakin' word and should be able to be used in game titles and clothing w/o licensing.

Burning copycat apps who are ripping off your game is a different issue, but this shouldn't be the solution.

That's a fantastic idea, LG! We certainly will abide by your wishes and make it a matter between the consumer and the retailer by not buying your tv's.

Done and done!

Store owners are free to carry whatever books they want. This is a market opportunity.

Stop bitching and open your own store for these kinds of books (e-erotica? oof...). Evidently there's some space to make money here.
