We know the homeless guy will probably spend the dollar on alcohol ... but for him, alcohol may be better than the alternatives. So a direct dollar to him makes more sense (on a human basis) than a dollar which goes partly to feed some idiot Senator's addiction.]]> tag:myblog.dericalorraine.com,2008-05-24:1070577 T Dejmikian 2008-05-25T03:17:31Z 2008-05-24T22:26:46Z http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_global_warming (or just go to Google and search “effects of global warming” to find the Wikipedia entry right near the top) and start editing!

At one time the states and localities were the "laboratories of democracy", but now the foundations are the "laboratories of tyranny."]]> tag:myblog.dericalorraine.com,2008-05-13:1042755 Mike Masnick http://techdirt.com/ 2008-05-14T16:33:28Z 2008-05-13T21:05:16Z
Thanks for the link and the discussion, but as the "reporter" who you claim doesn't know things, I'd like to offer a few corrections to your post, which misstates a number of things.

First, in the article above you continually refer to copyrights, but you mean trademarks. Copyrights and trademarks are two very different things, and you mix them up throughout this post.

If you want a primer on the difference, please look here:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080228/003450379.shtml

Second, since you actually mean trademarks rather than copyrights, I'll respond to the claim that you have to enforce it. This is misleading and not entirely correct. You are correct that a trademark holder needs to enforce the mark, but NOT against anyone who uses it. It only needs to be enforced against those who are using it in a way that is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace.

In a situation such as this, where there is unlikely to be any confusion that the creator of the knitting patterns was actually the BBC, there is not a need to enforce it.

As for copyrights (which aren't what's being discussed here anyway), there is no requirement to enforce.

So, I'd appreciate an update on the post, suggesting that maybe I'm not as clueless as you suggest. :)

Thanks!

I believe if Persaud had allowed the judge to decide his case he may have won this round. The judges seemed rather sympthathetic to him. Several of them refused to dismiss the case. Perhaps it will be decided by judges at a later date.

I will wager Presbyterian hospital doesn't allow this to happen again. Other E.R.'s have taken notice as well.

There is still a good chance for Mr. Persaud to prevail.]]>
