Why is there a Mitibushi engine in a Dodge or a Ford transmission in a Honda (or whatever car part from one manufacturer is in another manufacturer's vehicle) as only one example. It is definitely not unheard of. I believe there are RCF parts in non RCF speakers. The Spiderman movies are both Marvel and Columbia Pictures and a few other companies. So it is very common.

I think he has more character than that. I don't have you on ignore. I don't necessarily have time to respond to every point you try to make or every question you have. With respect to PR, I have less knowledge than I have about SC's operations, and as a result I have less latitude as to what I can discuss here about PR. That being said: Any act of trademark infringement that occurred prior to PR's acquisition of the CB trademarks caused a cause of action to accrue even if CB, the entity, had not yet pursued it at the time of PR's acquisition. That act of trademark infringement represented a lost sale as well as profit to a (prospective) defendant at that time, such that if a sale occurred instead, it would have accrued to CB's, and therefore PR's, benefit. That is part of the business goodwill associated with the CB marks--and it has been assigned to PR. The CB trademarks are still in use and have not been abandoned. The transition to the new company has caused some temporary interruptions, but rest assured, the CB trademarks remain valid and, if we are called upon to do so, we will be able to prove their validity in court.

Quote: Earlier this year the sentences against the Pirate Bay defendants were made final. Aside from prison sentences, they will have to pay damages to the entertainment industries, including €550,000 to several major music labels. The court awarded the damages to compensate artists and rightsholders for their losses. However, it now turns out that artists won’t see a penny of the money, as the labels have allocated it to IFPI to fund new anti-piracy campaigns. ...While it may come as no surprise that the music industry has a hard time getting money from The Pirate Bay defendants, what comes next may raise a few eyebrows. 'There is an agreement that any recovered funds will be paid to IFPI Sweden and IFPI London for use in future anti-piracy activities,' IFPI writes. In other words, the money that the Court awarded to compensate artists and rightsholders for their losses is not going to the artists at all." Suprize, suprize, suprize.

....and....
The Pirate Bay is (thankfully) still going strong....
Before you jump on me about that statement, understand that I am a very strong proponent of freedom of information. The Pirate Bay serves up information, not IP, not movies, not music, not software, not karaoke....information.
I know some will take issue with this stance. Okay. I understand where you are coming, I just don't agree.

I'm not familiar with Pirate Bay at all, but your statement makes no sense when you read what JDMeister posted. If it truly does NOT do these things, what is the reason for prison sentences and fines?

It's a gray area. While they themselves are not pirating goods, they are certainly "enablers" to those who are.

Isn't that sort of like Latshaw then? He doesn't "sell" anything either but his new venture simply "links to those that do."

Except Latishaw isn't linking to torrent sites, only manu sites.

There still is monetary value whether you like it or not. The trademark still has value. Because it's a non-existant product of THEIRS. THEY didn't spend money producing it, THEY didn't lose any money on the sales of it, and THEY don't suffer from any alleged misrepresentation. OK, no answer from you or or Jim ( who I knew has more character than to do the "ignore" thing-thank you) . Anyone else? What would be the basis for a MONETARY figure based on "damages" for PR? Anyone?

They may not have made it, but they OWN it, and that IS what matters.
