What happened to the stories of David vs Goliath?

If we give up like they want us to, they will win. If we all work together, we can be stronger than the government.

Governments should be afraid of their people, not the other way around.

Open Source items and programs are really great alternatives to paying for a program. I like OOffice, Audacity, and a mess of other good stuff. I was even planning on trying to help out on the programs! If these fools take over Shareaza, it's like opening the door to Open Source Stuff to other idiots with a sign saying "HERE! TAKE MY STUFF TOO!!!!!" This has to stop. This isn't just a take over for an OS program, it means Bottomless pockets can take over our rights! This is really some really twisted shit here.

What you complain about is not leeching of any other client/server code. Shareaza simply can "speak" those protocols, which, btw, are ALL open, hence all of these other great clients.

Obviously one first had to found some sort of representation with the primary developers and user base. Their takeover of an already esablished trademark (and their "aquiration" of that) together with their misuse of the logo artwork are clearly illegal. (I suspect even by U.S. law.)

I do not disagree with the fact that the big companies are doing their best to take over the country, and that the economy they are trying to set up is unsustainable. I also do not disagree that the courts and politicians in this country are just about all crooked. Where I take exception is worlddog's comment "and the usa people are gutless to stand up and fight the criminals in powers and the stooges all over the place who benefit from it." We do stand up and fight against it. And we lose to the crooked courts. And then we stand up and fight again. We lose more than we win and in the end the system will bring itself down due to its unsustainability. Yet still we fight. With a crooked media against us, refusing to cover the stories that are a direct threat to our freedom.

All that needs to be done is for the Shareaza developers to file an injunction against Discordia's trademark filing. Have their unregistered trademark legally recognized (easy: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.shareaza.com) or register it themselves. Once they have ownership of the trademark legally recognized, they can then sue to get the domain back thanks to cybersquatting laws. The problem is not so much whether Shareaza is worth protecting. What's important is to prevent a precedent to be set. You do not want corporations to be able to usurp brands. Hopefully, the EFF would be willing to take the case.[/quote] There you have it, this is the fight we need to fight. This behavior is simply illegal, and should be fought on those merits.
