    This comment was meant for if you need to talk to him. Before 12 he is a mad chef brewing up his magic in the kitchen. I think after that he is able to take a break from cooking.

    Not trying to knock True Love here but I think the Marley Family would have had legitimate case with the way US trademark law is currently written.

    I do think a person's intentions should be taken into consideration. If someone is looking to make money off of and markets a name/product in such a way that it intends to use the popularity of an already established and popular song/name/product/person/etc to make money then they should have to pay royalties to the person who made the original content. If a person makes no reference to to the original and unrelated existing product (such as a One Love Chicken and then makes no mention or hint at Bob Marley) then that should be alright in most cases. Now if I designed a guitar, called it the "One Love" and then paint Jamaican flags and Bob Marley's face all over the thing it becomes pretty clear what/who I am referencing and trying to capitalize off of.

    However, I don't think that trademarks should be able to be passed down to family or a corporation after the person who originally made the trademarked product dies (Unless the trademark is an actual company/corporation). Unfortunately that's not how US trademark law works and the Marley family likely would have won a lawsuit.

    I do take this the wrong way. Not all of us sick bastards are pedophiles. It's the pedophiles which are giving us sick bastards a bad name.

    gerry_bc What if she is over 18, but you still dress her up as a school girl? And you bring her parent (mom) but feeling up the mom at the same time? And you are putting on a show for the people watching through the window? Is that still sick b@st@rd territory? :wink:

    You certainly offer a compelling argument Johnny.. But I know at the end of the day you agree with protecting the young here....
