Namespace violations
Via Wendy Seltzer and Ed Felten: James Gleick has a great article in this week’s New York Times Magazine on the legal trouble with domain names (my cache) — why it is that, for instance, someone claiming britneyspears.com as a fansite would probably lose that domain name to Britney Spears’s record label. Gleick argues well and writes well, as he has for years. His article from way back about the lunacy in the patent system is more relevant today than it’s ever been. Highly recommended.
