Trademarks are poor misunderstood things.
Way back when, trademarks were called hallmarks, makers’ marks, earmarks and brands.

    Intellectual property is a funny thing. That’s funny-strange, not funny-ha-ha – although I imagine that depends a little on your perspective. You see intellectual property has an unfortunate name, because it isn’t actually property in the conventional sense and doesn’t conform to the same rules that govern other kinds of tangible or intangible property. The last time I clearly remember buying software was sometime in the 1980s. Oh, I still go to stores and pay for software, over and over – and so do you, but if you read the EULAs closely, you’ll find that the makers would have it that you are not purchasing anything at all. You might think you bought it, but as far as they’re concerned, you’re making a contract, not buying a product. A bunch of people ask me fairly often why I’m so keen on the Imprudence viewer for Second Life. This is why. Really. Because it is actually a bit harder to figure out than it looks. A lot of what we’re accustomed to thinking of as owned property isn’t necessarily what we think it is, and there’s an especial implication for virtual environments like Second Life.

“i didnt do anything “As with the fleshworld, individuals have the right to determine what behaviour is acceptable on their land.” “Agreed” “Disrupting a class – especially intentionally – is not acceptable on this land. You are politely requested to leave.” Here’s a simple little exercise to tell if you are actually a believer in freedom of speech, or not. It’s a simple thing you can do yourself, though you may be disappointed with the actual results.
