More Google Antitrust And Litigation -- Trademark Stuff
See "Companies Object to Google Policy on Trademarks," http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/technology/internet/15google.html?_r=1&ref=technology.
I want to reemphasize something I've been saying a lot. The Google-as-Big-Brother image is overdrawn. Google is innovating and making money. That's what it does.
It's just that there are moments in our turbo-charged capitalist system when things get out of control and power gets dangerously concentrated, and that's why we have antitrust laws. This is such a moment in our history.
For excellent ongoing coverage on the legal aspects of all things Google, I highly recommend the commentary of Santa Rosa, California, attorney and online columnist Richard Koman (@rkoman at Twitter).
