Amateur Artist Wants To Ban All Sales Of Old Baltimore Ravens Game Films Over Logo Copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| While Bouchat "won," he wasn't given any
| money, because he had failed to register his
| design before it was put into use. But he's
| since sued various other companies, and this
| latest lawsuit is an attempt to say that no
| one can show those old films because they
| use "his" logo, despite the lack of evidence
| of actual copying (which, if copyright were
| actually about copyright would be
| necessary).

IMPORTANT: So ... here's the situation
,----[ Quote ]
| The NCAA contacted us, trying to bully us
| into simply handing all of our domains over
| to them. Why? Because they have "ncaa" in
| them. In my best Lee Corso .... not so fast
| my friend.
|
| We intend to fight the NCAA on this. We
| believe we are unquestionably in the legal
| right to retain these domains under fair use
| and the first amendment. Even some of the
| case law the NCAA stated itself in its
| complaint included domains containing the
| word "NCAA" where the owner won against the
| NCAA. We have rounded up the NCAAbbs Legal
| Dream Team of a half dozen or so board
| members. The Electronic Frontier Foundation
| (EFF) has also expressed initial interest in
| this, and passed the information along to
| their attorneys. We'll also be seeking the
| ACLU's support in this.

F1 Racing Looks To Embrace The Internet, Rather Than Fight It
,----[ Quote ]
| We've noticed plenty of sports leagues
| really fighting against the internet, and
| assuming it's a "problem" or a "challenge"
| that needs to be stopped, rather than a
| great tool that needs to be embraced.

Nobel Streams Laureates Over the Web in Bid to Build Brand
,----[ Quote ]
| In a break from decades of Nobel history --
| when laureates' lectures were available
| only in real time to privileged attendees
| in Oslo and Stockholm -- this year's
| speeches are being broadcast live on the
| Web. The offerings are part of the
| foundation's drive to spread the Nobel
| brand and harness long-neglected
| intellectual-property rights.
