China looks to export censorship
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days before the start of this year's
| Melbourne International Film Festival its
| executive director received an "audacious"
| telephone call.
|
| An official from China's consulate in the city
| called him to "urge" the festival to withdraw
| a film about the Chinese activist Rebiya
| Kadeer.

Trademark: The tort of choice for censors
,----[ Quote ]
| That wonât stop a wealthy plaintiff, though
| â and whoâs wealthier these days than public
| employee unions? â from suing, however.
| After all, thereâs pretty much never fee-
| shifting in defendantsâ direction under the
| Lanham Act, although the statute does
| provide for it (or for that matter for
| frivolous copyright claims) But good luck
| on that.
|
| So trademark infringement remains the legal
| claim of choice for those seeking to shut
| down smaller, poorer message opponents.
