Owner of the Word Stealth 'Protecting' Rights

popo writes "Just when you thought ownership of intellectual property couldn't get any more absurd: The New York Times is reporting that the word 'Stealth' is being vigorously protected *in all uses* by a man who claims to exclusively own its rights. Not only has he gone head to head with Northrop Grumman, he has pursued it vigorously in the courts and has even managed to shut down "stealthisemail.com" (Steal This Email.com) because the URL coincidentally contains the word "stealth". What's terrifying is that he's gotten as far as he has."

You're a jerk. Way to belittle some poor girl's hopes and dreams. How do you know she'll not be a better lawyer, one who truly helps people? Keep your mouth shut next time.

Trust me, I was being restrained. Dirty filthy fucking pirates, I hate their guts. I'd write my kids out of my will if they went to law school. They have been a scourge on mankind since the days of the scribes and Pharisees.
