So if I trademark the word 'THE' for use in the name of a yoghurt, that means no one else can use it in a book title ever again? And there's me thinking trademark law didn't work like that!
Because these fools have the belief that Google is the only search engine out there, based simply on its ubiquity, they forget that people can still use relevant search terms in Yahoo and Bing, for example. Et voila!
Authors who out-and-out forbid it are pretty rare anyway; the only example I can name is Marion Zimmer Bradley, and that was because a fan tried to sue her for copying their fanfic for the latest installment, which is considered very bad form in most fandoms. FTFY. By the way, the author whose name you gave in error was called Anne McCaffrey.
The key point about a DRS is that once it exists, it can be searched, read, and actioned by any other machine connected to the Internet. You mean like CC Licenses already can be?
You have a substantial nonexempt purpose because you develop software published under open source compatible licenses that authorize use by any person for any purpose, including nonexempt purposes such as commercial, recreational, or personal purposes, including campaign intervention and lobbying. So does the above mean that 501c's with thrift stores will have to close them because people may wear clothes they buy there while at work in a company that doesn't qualify for 501c status? Gee, and I thought I had a cognitive disability!
On the Jones Day logo on the parody website, where the TM mark would normally go, the webmaster has replaced the letters with FU. You can see it for yourself either on the parody site's homepage when it scrolls around, or you can check out the static version.
And this is why I don't have a Facebook account. That and atrocious default privacy settings along with a real name policy that exposes users to doxing while doing nothing about griefers who vandalise other people's memorial walls.
These so-called "trade negotiations" are not at all about "liberalizing rules and opening borders", or about removing "restrictive, non-compatible financial laws". Correct. They're about creating restrictive, non-compatible financial laws.
Fair point, I'll try to do that in the future. It's just that after all of OotB's nonsense (and that of those like him), I've unfortunately become a little less discriminating.

Maybe to make more money out of people by imposing artificial limitations and then charging more for greater access?

@ John Federson: Whatever's problem is that he doesn't have a problem. In fact, I think he's a new iteration of OotB, except that he disagrees with every article here, not just Mike Masnick's. Basically, the prick's a troll, quit feeeding him.
