    LucasNursery.com decision

    It looks like Judges in America are starting to see the truth about these overreaching corrupt perverters of trademark law.

    Quote about lucasnursery.com :

    The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled Friday that the Canton woman did not violate the law when she used the name of Lucas Nursery and Landscaping Inc. for a Web site she created to complain about the Canton nursery.

    Paul Levy, staff attorney with the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said the ruling bolsters the fight by consumer groups to stop corporations from snuffing out free speech on the Internet.

    "This is a very important case," said Levy. "This is a mainstream circuit court that said using the Internet and the name of the company to criticize a company is perfectly legitimate."

    Re: LucasNursery.com decision

    Okay - you got me - I admit to having two or three domains that I use for free speech.

    Would you believe that somebody actually called me a typosquatter for having SKILFUL.com

    Guess his nationality.

    AlwaysSomething> is that who you were talking about?

    I think TheDomainMan was joking about me

    In case anybody takes it seriously - for the record - none of the domains I bought for investment contain any intentional trademarks.

    I do not have anything like FordMotorCompany.info for sale (although I believe this could be used for critical comment about them).

    Anything that contains trademark, like WIPO.org.uk, is purely for free speech - demonstrably so.
