    Re:

    They don't need one. Australia is part of the five eyes. Australia has one and they just share. The real beauty for NSA is that the Australian law does not except US citizens like the NSA one does. So now with an Australian warrant they can monitor all those US citizens that were exempt before.

    Neat tidy and just oh so convenient. The work of a failing leader shoring up voter dissatisfaction with a new slant on "there is a communist under your bed"

    too late. We elected Mr A boot as the governor 12 months ago.

    Hey Mike, Do you really think I care if it is a military school or a Zoo. They have trademarks on phrases in common usage, they are not entitled to them and like the Military they so fondly emulate they use bully boy tactics to try and maintains their silly and illegal trademarks. So there you go. I consider their trademarks an abuse of a sadly abused system. Let them litigate to their hearts content.

    Typical

    It is typical of courts in general and higher courts in particular. They have no idea, are presided over by people who should be in a retirement home due to their forgetfulness and usually completely technophobic.

    The unfortunate truth of most of the worlds legal system is those deciding are deciding using the morality of several generation ago and the fiscal resources of the elite. They are unchallengeable for the most part (judicial independence) and have no liability for the quality of their decisions. The system does not really care if 100% of their decisions are overturned on appeal. Add to that governments who would like to pretend they don't understand (plausible deniability) and bureaucracies that traditionally have worked on regulation, not action and this is what you get. They don't need security... they have made a rule about security. Problem solved.

    Thant is not cricket.

    As the cricket fraternity will espouse the 12th man has been in regular use in that game for longer than the colonial A & M has existed. So I suggest that they forget their precarious trademark. I am no trade mark layer, but letting these guys have that is like letting Microsoft trade mark windows. It is a big world, and it is time the US trademark office expanded it's scope, and stopped these stupid trade marking of pre existing terms.

    just wondering

    As there is apparently no legal recourse for invalid DCMA notices, perhaps the answer is to use them against the rights holders and their enforcement bodies. Issue bogus DCMA take downs for Google and Bing for every site these arrogant individuals have, delist them from the internet. Make disney.com disappear from search results. Then we could just say sorry your DCMA bot got carried away. While we are at it, use DCMA to remove all these republicans web sites from the internet. I think they will find the needed time to reform DCMA when it is inconveniencing them.

    Re: Re: Re: America stands for this...

    America... do we mean North or South? When I went to school there were these big continental masses called North and South America. On the northern continent there was this country that occupies less than half of it called the United States of America. The residents of this country for reasons only understood by them appear to constantly appropriate the continental name as their Nationality. I am not sure if it is poor education, laziness or conceit. They also have some other remarkable statistics in their country.

    They have the highest prison population in the world both in total number and percentage of population. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2page1.stm

    They are home to the NRA, as terrorist organisations go, I have seen those loonies interviewed,they frighten me far more than any Muslim Jihad. AND they are the Stereotypical US citizen rabid, ignorant and incapable of logical argument. If in doubt listen to there guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZb8EXUrQTo Dave Keene does not even know his nationality.

    Define a "Failed State" then look at the USA.

    The US meets many of the hallmarks of a failed state. In many ways it is indistinguishable from Somalia. (except in Somalia whistlebowers are shot)

    Just be sure when sending snail mail to the York state that you don't use part of their copyright when you address the mail. Or is the postal service paying copyright fees of some sort for each letter processed.

    Re: Fraud

    Can he be charged with those "offences"? While it may be dishonest, is there a law against using more than one name at once?

    Using your logic you are a fraudster. You are here using a false name. I am pretty sure your mother did not name you "horse with no name". So now your guilty of fraud it would be Ok for your laptop to the hacked to look for other evidence against you.

    Re: Re: Re: Mike again makes no distinction between "mine" and "yours"

    NO yu give yourself the government your elect. If your government is full of jerks, perhaps you need to look at who put them there and why. Oh and there is always the issue of who keeps electing them.

    Copy wrong

    Interesting that drug companies get such a limited time for their patented medicines and Disney who overcharge for their product appear to get 100 plus years, to ensure they can continue to do so instead of having to come to the market with the product they wish to sell.


    I think the patent law on drugs needs to match the copyright law as far as protection is concerned. Lots of people are going to die, but it is a small price to pay to guarantee corporate profits.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

    Sad that the United states, looks uponthe .com TLD as something that is licensed under their laws. They also for some reason that escapes me think their laws apply outside their country.

    What you are talking about here is a group of children. They are miffed so they took their ball. Gee I feel sorry that they don't like stuff.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

    Gee lets see, the US economy teeters on the brink. Their currency is falling like a stone on the world markets. Unemployment is rife and the government is running around the world banging on drums about how they are being victimised.

    As for the single product, it is not bananas, it is this nonsensical product called intellectual property. It is nothing it is vapour, just like everything that comes out of the US today. Hot air and other assorted vapor, neatly wrapped in 10,000 words of legalese about how they have a copyright or a patent or something on oxygen so the rest of the world needs to pay them for the right to breath.

    Yep sounds like a Banana republic to me.
