The copyright discussion was very thought provoking. It brought up several topics I had not put much thought into before. Strangely enough, I have a friend of a friend that works with a legal team that does copyright/trademark protection for major companies. He is given specificmarks to put in his search engines ie: M&M’s, m and m’s, M&M’s and girls, M&M’s and drugs etc…… and commits internet searches looking for illegal product distribution, reproduction, and image misrepresentation (all web based). The legal team reviews his findings and take a variety of actions against the parties in question. This can be anywhere from shutting down an Ebay sale to taking out an entire website. The misuse of images is usually for humorous or pornographic purposes. In this case, the legal team would contact this person and demand that they take the image off of his site.
Isn’t it amazing what people do for a living!
