- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSo could I! I even own a rigestered trademark(not thatbi am doing much with it), so i support this!
- eli 6y agoThat’s not what they’re saying. They claim it’s to fight phishing.

- hedora 6y agoI wish “abuse of trademark” was more commonly applied. The way the law is intended to work: - I register facebooksucks.com, and explain why. - Facebook sues me for trademark infringement, arguing there is a real risk my (non-existent) customers will think I am Facebook, and buy my services instead. - The judge rules that this is a frivolous lawsuit whose only purpose is to silence free speech (not to avoid brand confusion). - The judge invalidates the “Facebook” trademark.
