EFF: claim that consent needed for linking is "preposterous"
,----[ Quote ]
| BlockShopper's transgression, such as it is, appears to be the posting of
| public information. The site shows which partners, lawyers, philanthropists,
| and executives have purchased properties in specific city neighborhoods, and
| it incurred Jones Day's legal wrath after showing the new purchases of two
| Jones Day lawyers. The company sued on trademark grounds, claiming that the
| use of its name and web link on the site were illegal.

"I feel we are much too smug in dealing with Novell. Perhaps they didn’t hurt
us in DOS yet — but it’s not because of product or their trying. It’s because
we already had the OEMs wrapped up."
