Or allowing the schools to continue to use the tribes’ intellectual property without permission or compensation. All the NCAA did here was tell North Dakota that they had to get an actual agreement to use the name.

Of course it’s fair.

Exactly. This is a licensing issue. Schools can’t just steal the intellectual property of the tribes. They have to license it.

Because Florida State got permission from the tribe to use their name, that’s why. And Ilinois no longer has any Native American imagery, using “Illini” in the way the Houston NFL team uses “Texans”.

I’m sorry that you’re taking it personally, as that was not my intention at all.

Yeah, I would be thrilled about this if the mainstream comics industry hadn’t spent the last couple decades trying to prove its assertion that adult relationships are too hard for mere mortals to write.

Why on earth would you assume that he expressed a desire for co-authorship credit? The man has been dead for over thirty years; if he really wanted this they almost certainly would have done something about it before now.

That’s fine. I agree they almost certainly have the legal right to do it. But putting money above her legacy? That’s where “borderline deplorable” comes into it. And they certainly lose the moral high ground when they diminish her authorship to get that money.

They’re limiting the distribution of her words and message for fear they won’t get a cut. That’s close enough to deplorable.

“If the foundation didn’t want the interactive version of the diary then it’s completely reasonable for them to take steps to make sure that version doesn’t happen. If anything it’s wrong for the museum to try and push the issue.”

You have chosen your coffee... wisely.

A full-time franchise? Not unless Parliament votes to abolish time zones.

“this is what the liberal media always does, it attacks the messenger trying to avoid the message,” she said. “Here is the message: It is factually true that women have been hit very hard by progressive policies.”

I don’t see anything wrong with him being the lead plaintiff. They felt it important enough to license his image before but don’t want to now. And he’s not saying the sites are wrong or should be taken down, just that they should pay a licensing fee like any other business.

The original report was that Warner Bros. had created an exact replica of their house.

Did they sign a release allowing Warner Brothers to trade on that? Because that's where the case lies. I guarantee you they signed one for the television show(s?) they were on.

Ah, that might give her a pretty strong case.

Not really. Their response if that it can’t be theirs because they don’t have a public drink menu for customers, but nobody’s claiming that it is - it’s a cheat sheet for bartenders.

Agreed. My response to the headline was “Gene Upshaw was a controlling, domineering piece of shit?”

Kroenke absolutely wants to pay for it himself. It’s part of a huge real estate development deal that includes, among other things, studio and museum space he will rent to the NFL.
