A case to read in the meantime: Fonovisa v. Cherry Auction, 76 F.3d 259 (9th Cir. Jan. 25, 1996).
12th Man Theme
Texas A&M has been using 12th MAN since 1922, the Seattle Seahawks have only been using the mark since 1984. What concerns me the most is that Texas A&M students sway in unison, making the stadium shake, That can’t be safe. Don’t they know that soldiers break lock step when crossing a bridge? (google ‘bridge synchrony’).

That Football Game Between Seattle And Pittsburgh
Google Cache Found To Be Fair Use
Strange case. Website owner sues Google for copyright infringement based on its practice of providing links to cached versions of his website. There is no explanation why author did not use tages to tell Google to exclude his site. The Court pointedly commented that if plaintiff had merely used such tags, there would be no suit. Held: Google’s cache constitutes fair use.
Why was this suit brought? Reader Henry from NYC points us to page 24 of the decision: “Field decided to manufacture a claim for copyright infringement against Google in the hopes of making money from Google’s standard practice.”
