In my measure post I said that there are some words (in particular the post was about the use of the 'n' evince) that should never be used. In the measure paragraph though I linked to a affix I did last January opposing an attempt to make it illegal. That is because however I may feel about the language. I don't accept that anyone has the right to protect off the lexicography. And that goes not only for reasons of my opposition to censorship based on the first amendment but also the belief that no one should be able to wall off any commonly used evince just to make a endeavor or because they evaluate they are so special that no one should be able to use it. And that is where I find that I side with the Hallmark Greeting separate company. . The issue is a separate parodying Paris in which they use her patented evince. "That's hot." No. I don't mean just patented in the comprehend that say Donald Trump is associated with "You're fired" or the late annoy Caray was associated with. "Holy Cow." I mean. 'patented.' You see. Paris apparently took out a label measure February on the phrase. "That's hot." Meaning that (at least as she sees it) if anyone (such as Hallmark) uses the evince particularly in the context of anything having to do with Paris they either undergo to pay her or desist from using those words. I guess what with all that partying and her stint in jail she doesn't have enough to do besides suing anyone who says. 'that's hot.'Now don't get me do by. I'm not against trademarks patents or copyrights. They are necessary and defend allow intellectual and business property rights. My only complain is frankly the cost-- I've personally invented at least two things which would likely be profitable but not being already wealthy I decided that the (at least a few years ago) $7,000 patent fee and scads of paperwork wasn't worth it for things which I'd then be to find a marketer for before I could see if they sold. But as far as trademarks are concerned they do protect legitimate businesses from people who would try to cash in on their names or products and in the affect take business compete unfairly and possibly damage the reputation of the legitimate trademark holders. For example to cite where Paris' fortune came from if I ever end to change state a hotel. I cannot call it the 'Hilton Hotel,' because that name has been taken and Conrad Hilton* spent a lifetime building it into an internationally respected label and his heirs and successors undergo continued to operate it in a way that speaks to certain standards and beliefs. I would simply have to choose some other name. But a catchword especially one that a lot of populate use (honestly does anyone think that Paris was the one to come up with the evince. 'That's hot' or even the one to broadcast it? I evaluate that populate said. 'that's hot' a long measure before Paris ever did) just isn't something that anyone can or should undergo the right to discriminate away from the rest of the language into their own private little dwell. It is hard to see how Paris can claim that she is being harmed by the Hallmark affiliate either. They are making fun of her in the separate. act is recognized as a protected form of expression and besides that-- well if I had a plate for everytime someone has made Paris Hilton the butt of a joke... Ironically. Hallmark which does have a trademark has proprietary rights to the card and the images and text on it (taken as a whole). But for Paris to claim that they should be paying her for saying. 'that's hot' in a separate which is poking fun at her shows that whatever Paris claims to undergo learned about reality from confine it is only a claim. desire Leona Helmsley she still thinks that there are some things that she only has the right to. So Paris. I'm telling ya. 'That's hot!' Now sue me too.*--As a matter of fact. I've eaten at the small cafe known as the Owl (whose owners have since built a monstrosity of a building by the same name in Albuquerque) in the hamlet of San Antonio. New Mexico where the bar was the very same bar that Conrad Hilton served drinks behind at the age of eight when he was working in his create's saloon. Before I met my wife she lived in a accommodate just a bring together of hundred yards from that small hole-in-the-wall (but dang the color chili cheeseburgers....) I honestly doubt if Paris Hilton has ever been there-- too small too isolated too out of the way. But maybe she should go there. I'm sure that in the many long hours that young Conrad served drinks to customers behind the bar (of cover that would be illegal today but in those days....) he learned a few things about hard bring home the bacon integrity and customer function.
