Re: We've passed Peak Apple.... said by Kearnstd:So you are saying its okay to bully smaller companies who actually have equal right to similar things?
Nissan Motors is still bullying a guy who is actually named Nissan over his domain Nissan.com. Nissan motors claims they have more right to the domain than someone with Nissan as a surname.
The premise of your question is an ad hominem. My personal feelings on the matter do not change in any way how trademark law operates. That said:
Morally, no. But I feel corporations are not bound by morals the way individuals are. Corporations are bound only by laws, so the most effective way to prevent the kind of bullying you're talking about is not to claim it's immoral but to change the laws so it's not legal.

This is filed under "social responsibility" for companies. We all know the laws are not likely to change, at least for the better. |
