Re: Facebook closes in on winning ‘Face’ trademark<\/strong><\/a> — from wired.co.uk by Mark Brown<\/p>\n

\nDo we really have to have a trademark on the word “Face”?! Come on — geez. And how is this going to be enforced? Is this the kind of thing we want tying up our legal systems even more? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What happened to civility? To discourse? To fair play? To trying to reconcile things before it gets to “the judge”? I think we take way too many things to the courts, and not nearly enough things to our hearts and our consciences. Clearly, we don’t trust each other to compete fairly — every man for himself and do whatever you can to “win”– that’s the world’s greedy way evidently. For those folks out there that think mankind is inherently good, how do you respond to this?<\/span>

Luke 12:58\u00a0(New International Version, \u00a92010)
\n58<\/sup> As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, <\/strong>or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.<\/p>\n

The state of our hearts is not looking too good these days. But here’s the problem. The dangerous thing is that the power <\/span>of the tools that are out there has never been seen before. In order to help others and make the world a better place, we need strong consciences and hearts of flesh like never before.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The last time a technology company had access to a word as short, vague and ubiquitous as “Face”, things got a little bit out of hand. Game publisher Tim Langdell used his hold over the word “Edge”<\/a> for years to bully game developers and instigate legal spats, until the courts finally stripped him of his ill-gotten trademark.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
