According to Wikipedia, the historical EIC was dissolved in 1874. The current one is just trying to leverage on the brand.

If the Coat of Arms was issued to the historical EIC, then there is no infringement of The East India Company Ltd. However, I am wondering if both The East India Company Ltd and Copyright Defence Agency are both liable to be sued by the British crown.

The link is dead, however google still has an old news post “News – Copyright Defense Agency | Defending Your Rights
August, 2010: Copyright Defense Agency sues 132 torrent pirates for Lucas …
”
Elsewhere we find that Lucas Entertainment should not be confused with Lucas Films. LE is an adult entertainment biz who have been suing gay porn pirates.

Instead of a PO Box they use “Suite” numbers. Regardless of copyright, which East Indy company apparently owns, England does still have the Court of Chivalry which has convened as recently as 1959. Unfortunately only a civil court. Long of the short this is just a scam or a “resume” company for college students.

And (correct me if I’m wrong) under the current copyright laws if the company that holds the rights to the emblem/logo/whatever is still active then they can sue for copyright infringement, dead people/groups/whatever have some sort of deadline for economic use of their songs (again, correct me if I’m wrong and the system is unbelievable exploitable in terms of time restrictions for dead ppl). Bloody brilliant!

Everyday we see examples on how these idiotic laws can be exploited with no end and how they actually KILL creativity instead of protecting it. Seriously, this is brilliant!

Interesting.
It isn’t hurting anyone?
So, since I would never buy anything I download, I am not hurting anyone, and by that logic I should be allowed to do so, right?

Also, If they hadn’t used a logo from the internet, they would have had to comission one from an artist. Would have put bread on his table for a day or two. Don’t you think about the poor, now starving, graphic designer at all?

Who was the hypocrite again?

Why do you even give a shit if a company is using this logo? It’s not going to affect anyone….anywhere, and you’re all crying that it’s so illegal and yet….at the same time crying that your favourite torrent sites are offline so you can’t download stuff for free….

I’m not against piracy at all, but its case isn’t helped by so many whiny pussies making stupid remarks and ridiculous arguments

Get a life, if your favourite torrent site is down, go do something else for a bit until it’s back! Don’t just sit in front of your computer crying
