If you “borrow” a song and don’t want to be sued
Avoid the performer who sings for his feud.
Seek out some lyrics that fit like a glove
But steer clear of the guy who wrote Lawyers in Love.

From a hardware standpoint, it is not a Series 2 box at all. Basically, it's a trimmed down version of the Series 3 as far as candy. No glowing remote, no THX certification, and a 160 GB hard drive instead of a 250 GB hard drive. But none of those difference decrease it's functionality compared to the Series 3.

]]> Comment on Arkansas Christian apparel company rips off pretty much everyone. by Jason http://copywrite.org/2007/10/15/arkansas-christian-apparrel-company-rips-off-pretty-much-everyone/#comment-10439 Jason Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:44:25 +0000 http://copywrite.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/arkansas-christian-apparrel-company-rips-off-pretty-much-everyone/#comment-10439 Give me a break...... The companies should be happy about it ! The shirts will remind people of the company and their product as much as it reminds people about Jesus. These people won't normally wear a shirt with the companies stupid logos so the compnies are now getting advertising in a previously closed off area. I'd sue the companies for back-pay as a walking billboard ! Give me a break……

What do you think? Trademark law also protects against "tarnishment" which protects famous marks from certain kinds of disparagment. Is being associated with Christians disparagement? This may be unethical. But, courts don't decide things based on ethics.

I don't like that they need to associate with pop culture to be hip. I don't think it does anything really to get the message out and it just makes the wearer look dumb. I really hate the ones that say FBI or CIA, I mean those people had to earn that shirt/logo. I am a Christian and I cringe when I see someone wearing these items.
