Comment POWER TO THE SMALL GUY !! (Score 1) 61
I can actually believe that companies think that they have rights to something they don't. Guess what, i have names for each room in my home. Even my front door is named COM. My bedroom is named COKE, my office is named FORD. Do you think it would surprise me to see these guys come after me? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Now, I don't actually have my rooms named, but sake of the argument, this was our world first. Where were the big corps during the BBS days? No, they want to wait until something becomes popular, something that individuals like ourselves made popular, let us do the dirty work, let us invest our time, our drive for freedom of information, then from out of a snake hole, comes the big corps to claim the gold.
I have no sympathy for corps and and their names. At least not when it comes to each room in OUR home.
What's kind of funny is that large corps who come after us for names, monopolizing the internet are the same companies who whine in court because microsoft doesn't play fair. I don't have any sypathy for those companies either. I come from a strong microsoft platform background as a developer. recently i made a serious commitment to Linux. Why, because I have a choice, not like the other venders preach.
Similary, there's no room in my book for whining companies over internet resources that someone else started.
Large corps that pull this kind of stunt, are as low as the lawyers they hire.
the end.
