    This won't work if you are dating two girls at the same time.

    If one really wants to know what's happening, and how it all works, I'd suggest they take a course in Intellectual Property law. Not only will they learn about copyright and trademark, but by extension they will gain a better understanding of the "Law of Arms" as it is applied in today's world.

    Oh my God!

    Did anyone actually read the article? I can't say I'm not guilty. She isn't getting sued by McDonald's. She tried to file for the trademark, and naturally McDonald's challenged her right to register. Now she's spending $5000 to fight for the name. That money should just go to the charity, and life should just go on.

    Well it will for me.

    Well, yes. We thought y'all had, too. Some of us even know enough about IP rights to know what we don't know. What I don't know is measured in Sagans.
