Way back in 1557, the Stationer’s Company of London was given a monopoly, a Royal Charter, to publish and, along with that Charter, the right to enforce the Charter.

Too many times, Mark Applicants mock up “sales” merchandise to jump their Mark being Registered before their Merchandise is sold. To be honest, ask Applicants who have invested thousands in to Trademarks… the answers often are NOT worth the expense. Why? Duhh factor here. How much money is someone willing to spend to fight a matter they may not Win or even find a lawyer to fight for them. Besides, Trademarks had greater value before the Internet came along. Someone didn’t think this through in that Owners of Trademarks who invested millions over years in to building their Brand, were scooped on securing their Brand’s name on the Internet which the Domain Squatters profited on from, at times, selling the Domain Name back to its Trademark Owner(s).

In order to use the image it must be licensed. The same is to be said about Designer’s Copyright Fashions & Accessories. The big names who can afford the Commerce Loss are Bi-Polar here in that Celebrities, Big Name Designers and Athletes often see Unauthorized Usage of their Images as a way to build their fan base they turn into a Cost versus Litigation calculation in that the there is usually no money in chasing Fans exploiting a Celebs Persona which is odd considering the amount of money spent chasing down ‘pirated’ movies, for example, when the same effort isnt put in to chasing the Revenue lost to Image sharing. That said, Dot.com was jailed for File Sharing yet no one is going after the Search Engines and ISPs. So, the behaviours of the big names eager for Tear Sheets of their Item or Celeb in a Magazine or Page 6, harms Copyright Conversations in that in time, the Illegal Usage becomes the New Norm

Outrageous sums of monies are thrown at persons with ideas with the hope one out of 10 or so ideas will pan out into a winner. Not a new concept. Not every idea can be a GI Joe or a My Little Pony but when an idea hits, it can hit big. The terms a Venture Capitalist offers the Start up is way out of whack with terms a bank is allowed by regulaltions to offer… hence the gamble and the bet…

If advice is needed on a farmer, ask a farmer who has been doing that work for years, dont ask a Wonk, who has read about a farm. Congressmen at a Judiciary hearing discussing the ARTS and Copyright asked a Professor who had been doing a study for 6 years on Orphan Works "where are the artists" in that none of the Professor's group were artists. The Professor answered they could not find one ARTS-ist from the date the project began
