How many unpaid Genesi employees? : Comment 194 of 214 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 02-Mar-2004 15:05 GMT | In reply to Comment 193 (Johan Rönnblom): >Samface: Did Garry explain to you why he handed out business cards
>which he didn't want anyone to talk about?
Twisted logic. Garry Hare did not claim that he was handing out business cards, why would *he* have to explain such claim? BBRV made the claim and therefore the burden of proof is his. Do you have any proof of BBRV's claim? All we've ever seen is a poor scan of a business card that could just as well have been a fake.
>As for evidence.. well.. you showed me a thread where people talked
>about an ad. You claimed that this ad was placed by Genesi. No one in
>this thread has anything to say that would prove this accusation.
The discussion is a testimony of the ad's existence, ie proof. The notion that someone would have pretended to be Thendic-France and paid Google for placing this ad is not even remotely plausible. Even if it would not have been Thendic-France themselves, they should have made that clear in public as well as contacted Google and inform them about the illicit use of their trademark. Comment 5 in that thread says it all:

Live the way you preach and prove it.

If it was only the way the Pegasos and MorphOS has been promoted...
>As for your understanding of trademark laws, well you're plain wrong.
>Totally.
Explain that to Microsofts lawyers after having used "Windows" for sponsoring your product on google...
Do you know that a Swedish court recently decided that Lindows is not entitled to use the Lindows trademark nor their Lindows.com domain for marketing Lindows in Sweden? Swedish customers are directed to http://www.lin---s.com. Check it out, there you can see what trademark laws can do to you... |
