Licensing Gone Awry »
It strikes me as I'm driving down the road (listening to the radio) that perhaps things have gone a bit far when it comes to licensing. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that people want to protect their property - whether it is intellectual property, such as software, or actual property, such as a brand in which they have invested or even a trademark.
But maybe - just maybe - things are a little out of hand when someone isn't allowed to say the name of the local football team or the big game that they play at the end of the year without writing out a check to someone. That's ridiculous. It's not like they don't know who they are talking about. I mean I understand wanting to protect your investment and all, but come on people!
