    thats not how copyrights work, something is copywritten the moment it is applied to a medium, be it paper, or a recording.

    the copyright might have been "registered" at that point but that is moot.

  2. Windows is a generic term on A Setback For Microsoft In Lindows Trademark Case · · Score: 1

    BUT, in the case of microsoft it is used to describe a product... just as McDonalds & Ford are a generic names used to trademark food and auto items respectivly...

  24. something similer happened on my BBS on Spam Rapidly Increasing In Weblog Comments · · Score: 3, Interesting

    but it was a little different, the messages that were already there were replied to, but they had "empty" response, unless you looked reallu close one "character" in the reply to message now had a link attached to it.

    I dont remember where it was linking to but I think it was a seach index or something similer.

    were they trying to boost the ranking on search engines by having these so called links in place?
