Slashdot Mirror

In other news, yahoo will be featuring a pay-for-adoption service, allowing organ sales on their "yahoo auctions" site and spamming the shit out of all yahoo members with the "banned on e-bay" CD spam. They are also investigating plans to buy yahooka.com.

Yahoo execs were quoted as saying "we've found there is money in elicit markets, and hell if this dot com is going down without a fight..."

Then I'd just have to update the blocked list with whatever it turned out they were hitting the most.

You forgot some:

Smell: Jeffrey Dalmer would enjoy this.

http://www.theonion.com
Smell: A real tear-jerker.

"I never really liked computers, but then the server went down on me"

I seem to remember YaHooka.com having some kind of run-in with Yahoo a while ago. Since they are still online I guess things were worked out. Some very educational links on their site btw |-)

numb

rob, you're breaking the law...

I'm adding the links to my page too. There are a number of good information sites to link to The Marijuana Policy Project, and NORML are good places to start.

You can also checkout Yahooka for a search engine type site.

Don't be afraid to test laws you think are wrong (I know this isn't law yet), and if you do go to court the Internet is absolutely amazing at drumming up grass-roots support (at least until the governmet makes that illegal too ;-)

To quote MLK somewhat out of context "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws".

The Beastie Boys also had something to say on the subject: "You gotta fight! For your right! To paaaarrty."

Did anyone go to www.toysrgus.com and read the actual letter? Or are you just going by what News.com actually said?

Gus is a good friend of mine. The website was set up as an archive for Star Wars collectibles, of which there where hundreds, if not thousands. To the best of my knowledge, it was only an archive, not a store. The mere thought of that makes me laugh. If you knew Gus, you'd laugh, too.

Gus hasn't decided what he's going to do yet. He's considered complying, but sees that as only one option. He might fight it; he certainly has enough support. We'll see.

However, reading some of the comments above, I'm confused. It's okay to have a domain name that is the same as a trademarked name but having nothing to do with said trademark; but it's not okay to have one that sounds like a trademark? What kind of double standard is that? It sounds like something Microsoft would pull.

If that's the case, we'd better start shutting down sites like YaHooka (sounds too much like Yahoo!) and anonimizer.com (sounds too much like Anonymizer.com)!!

No more freedom of expression! Close the Internet! Last one off, please turn off the router.
