Good Day
I was looking at your site http://www.[my site].com today, especially the (blog, news, post) that talks about (online games, entertainment, hobbies).
I was wondering if you could place a link on your site towards the site of my client. How much do you charge for this?
Please let me know if this is possible

Aereo is a start-up headed by Barry Diller. Every subscriber has a ‘tiny antennas’ assigned to it. Legal reasoning discussed here.
U of Penn’s Law School is having a symposium. The poster is reprinted above. LV’s demand letter and Penn’s response is below.
Turns out NAVAJO is a registered trademark. Also, there is a Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Also, the Navajo Hipster Panty and Navajo Flask were possibly not the best ideas.
Also, someone wearing briefs is not naked.
Without speaking to whether this allegation that a news channel edited footage to replace boos with cheers is accurate or not, the thought occurs: while there are libel and defamation laws to protect individuals certain statements, under what circumstances is there a private right of action with regard to the dissemination of deliberately falsified news reporting? Competitors can sue with regard to adulterated orange juice; what about adulterated news?

NY Times: Don’t Mock the Artisanal-Pickle Makers:
It’s tempting to look at craft businesses as simply a rejection of modern industrial capitalism. But the craft approach is actually something new — a happy refinement of the excesses of our industrial era plus a return to the vision laid out by capitalism’s godfather, Adam Smith. One of his central insights in “The Wealth of Nations” is the importance of specialization. When everyone does everything — sews their own clothes, harvests their own crops, bakes their own bread — each act becomes inefficient, because generalists are rarely as quick or able as specialists.
What should I say? Let’s hope there’s no Kardashian-related news to bump me.
We’re up to seven US trademark applications for LINSANITY. Two of them are used-based (!!) claiming Feb 7 as a date of first use (specimen depicted above). Jeremy Lin’s application has been assigned to an examiner after four days, suggesting that perhaps he availed himself of the “Make Special” petition, or as the PTO ought to refer to it, the Fast Break.
Lin’s first twenty-plus game was Feb 4. He then scored 28 against Utah on February 6. I would say that the first wave of Linsanity hit New York the morning of Feb 7.
However, a google of “Who coined Linsanity” reveals that a friend of Lin registered the domain name Linsanity.com on July 17, 2010. On that site we also learn that Spike Lee wore Jeremy Lin’s Palo Alto High School jersey to the Feb 17 game.
I will throw in a self-promoting reference here to a discussion of terms that are coined by fans () which may or may not be the case here.
In international developments, it is reported that a woman with ‘sharp business acumen’ filed for Jeremy Lin’s name in Chinese characters last year.
Incidentally, I’m really annoyed at Lin because now I’m sucked into believing that the Knicks can get past the first round of the playoffs this year.
In other NBA news, Michael Jordan filed a lawsuit in China regarding mis-use of his name.
