sorry if some of you have already seen this or are getting multiple
copies. I thot this would be of interest because it deals with
a web site being supressed by a corporation for tradmark infringement.
Of particular interest is the LAWYERS page, where it details the
sneaky tricks (actual professional misconduct) the lawyers
engaged in to try to get the web-a-sketch creator's snail mail address
(presumably to send him a cease-and-desist order or scary letter).

more corporate stupidity!! this is right along the lines of SITO's
legal battles and bianca vs radio shack. hopefully it will end up like
the latter.
well, true the "product" is actually similar in this case (unlike the
similarity in name only, a la bianca), but i dont care!! it still sucks!
