How the ##@@%%%!! does anybody get away with copyrighting or trademarking a proper noun that is the collective name of an entire ethnic group?! That's bloody insane, not to mention a bright, shining example of legal bassackwardness. Heck, on those grounds, maybe I oughta copyright/trademark the word Newfie. Then get richer than Bill Gates, Disney, Boeing & the whole mad lot of 'em by suing everyone who infringes. Except my fellow islanders, of course. I'll just charge them a whopping big license fee for the right to use it, especially on all those bottles of "Screech". Oughta be a zillionaire in no time. ;-)
