[CLUE-Tech] CLUE: KIlistrator anyone

[Richard Knechtel]

Well the article I read (from Slashdot) mentioned that Adobe was demanding 
2000 DM from the university student and if he didn't pay they would sue the 
university for 1,000,000 DM.

Lets see in the U.S. we call this extortion! and it is a felony.  Besides I 
don't think you can "copyright" a word!  Unless your friggen radio 
shack!  Ask the people that own the Computer cottage on south 
wadsworth.  They owned "The Computer Shack" and Radio Shack came after them 
and sued them over the use of the word "Shack" and lost.  ALso did you know 
stupid Baskin and Robins have trade marked the little "Curly" thing on the 
top of ice cream. If you use it they can sue you.

I think we should all trademark/coyright our names.  Then sue ANY company 
that stores our name in their databases.  Hey fair is fair. If they can sue 
us, we can sue them.

BTW: I have already been doing the trademark/copyright searches on my name. 
And am working on the legality of doing this with my name.  F*** the 
corporations! Especially the "data miners" .
