It's an extraordinary example of Hodgkin's Law of parallel planetary development that the Ferengi symbol for "bars of gold pressed latinum" is also the ancient Earth dollar sign.

I was framed for assassinating a politician and sent to Rura Penthe. Gowron got me $5,000!

If your business can't survive without paying slave wages then your business shouldn't survive.

I tend to support this idea. If inputting copyrighted materials isn't infringement then neither should taking the output be.

Are you being willfully fucking obtuse?

No. And I have no interest in discussing this with you further if you can't do so respectfully.

Well, I'm only familiar with US law on the subject. NZ might see things differently.

But in the US, dilution of a famous mark doesn't necessarily mean confusion. For example, you couldn't use Apple's famous white apple logo even for a company that had nothing to do with technology.

Confusion isn't the only issue. There's also trademark dilution.

Generally, states where County Clerk is an elected position are states where county-level government is particularly important and powerful. For example, the Clerk might be in charge of elections or determining property values for tax assessment.

I don't see the court upholding wilful defiance of their own rulings.

That's kind of the point.

Clementine originally forked from Amarok 1.4 because Amarok 2.0 changed too much.
