I have recently discovered that Archie Comics has asked the owner of Veronica.org to turn over the domain name to Archie Comics. Perhaps Archie Comics' attitude here might be understandable if the content of the site was actual Archie Comics comic strips or whatnot; instead, the content of the site consists of nothing more than a homage to a toddler. I am outraged at Archie Comics' insistence that they own all rights to a simple name, "Veronica," which has been in use for decades -- if not centuries -- before Archie Comics ever existed, or the character "Veronica" were ever conceived.
By your actions, you are suggesting that all those persons in the world named "Veronica" have names owned by another entity -- an idea as outlandish as it is ludicrous. I would be absolutely insulted were a corporation to sue or harass the owners of the Thomas.com or Tom.com domain names (whoever those owners might be), and insist that the name "Thomas" or "Tom" belong solely to that corporation. I am no less insulted by the implications of your current actions.
I wholeheartedly recommend that Archie Comics immediately cease all harassment of the owners of the Veronica.org domain name. I look foward to hearing from you.
No, they're probably not planning an epilogue trilogy because the officially endorsed series of books currently depicting the next, oh, 30 or so years after ROTJ would conflict with anything they came up with (unless they restricted themselves to one of the books, which would be a bad idea).
Personally, I feel the first few series of books released depicting the "future" were good; they started going downhill after awhile, though... same damned predictable outcome: New Republic (the new name for the Rebel Alliance) wins again... and again... and... you get the picture.:)

...and it never skips at 128 kbits. Every MP3 I copy over is 128 kbits (yes, reducing the advertised play time by half) and I've never had a problem.
