Russell Brand plans to trademark Ron Paul's R3VOLUTION logo!

[phill4paul]

It means we can't use it without Brand's permission.

Meh. Come at me, bro. Is this not a R3VOLUTION?

 

[thoughtomator]

"prior art" should nuke any suit Brand tries to file

 

[heavenlyboy34]

It was released copy-left,, so it can not be copyrighted..

I do not believe it can be legally trademarked either.

it may be tried,, but doubt it will hold up to legal challenge.

The "Happy Birthday" song is copyrighted, even though it theoretically should be public domain. No one ever said IP is rational...

If ya have to ask permission, it's not really and truly. (IMO. Others may have a different understanding of what Freedom (TM) means)

What an ass hat.

If you're pissed off because someone has copyrighted your revolutions logo you are not doing your revolution right.

Some Tee-Vee personna?

This. Pete is right. The problem is that the lawyers will still bully you. Shabby Chic is trademarked, but she has lost every case that has gone to court. That does not stop her lawyers from bullying people who try to use it.

Why should "Happy Birthday" theoretically be public domain? (I agree that legally it should be public domain, but that's a matter of lawyers picking dates.)

A British Communist who tries to claim that all the freedom on the planet belongs to his personal philosophy.

ANd 'communist' is not hyperbole.

He's basically an An-Com

hah...personally, i think Russ is making a big mistake, but time will tell...book signings could be fun.

I have my own reason, but any reason someone gives you will be rather arbitrary because ideas aren't real, tangible things that we can deal with as if they were property. (if you read the IP law, the way they decide public domain-life of the creator+20 years or something-was just pulled out of someone's ass) This arbitrary nature of so-called intellectual "property" is but one reason it can't work outside of a tyrannical statist model.

Most people have figured out that sudden fame on the internet = agent of the elite.

Remember, the elite only needs to stop the people from understanding and using what will impede or arrest their agenda. They don't give a crap if edgy sensationalism and useless rebellious concepts are mixed together to keep people busy. In fact they will promote it by elevating willing puppets into position to do so.

We have numerous secret factions vying for control in this scenario. They all have power and can make icons visible in a month or two through their various media tools including entire arrays of alt web sites and sub icons.

fwiw, just pulled this off a lawyer's website . . .

"Under common law, trademark rights within a certain territory are based on priority of use of a mark within that territory.
Sometimes a federal registrant is not the first user of a mark in a territory, and that an unregistered prior user may have superior rights,
at least in that territory."

plenty of prior use jpg documentation anyway.

The nicest thing I can say is:

What a Jackass!!!

 

[r3volution 3.0]

Yea, fuck this retarded Bolshevik twat, I'm still using r3volution whenever I damn please.

Come and get me.
