Right, but how does it work when there are applications at the patent office for existing trademarks to be registered? You can trademark anything but need a special registration approval for the trademark to be registered. Same for all the thing that say patent pending, right? Maybe that was the hierarchy I was mis-remembering.

Spot on. Couldn’t remember the names but this is exactly the one I was remembering.

I bring this up the time how Reagan didn’t win in a landslide, Mondale fuckin lost in a land slide.

Even the worst NFL team will destroy the next best team they could face that was worse than them. Mondale was your local junior college team going up against the Jets. A 50-1 score is spun as the Jets winning in a land slide and not spun as how shitty the junior college was.

I’ll bite. What were your extremely good reasons not to vote?

I wanna say there is a hierarchy of enforcability to trademarks, copyrights and patents on top of their application requisites. I also think that Patents are sort of the top tier that all regulations apply to with a trickle down effect in how they apply to TM’s and C’s. Don’t quote me on it tho. I’m going off the time at work years ago when the idea of patenting or tradmarking a thing. I might also be mixing it up with how they regulate Trademarks vs Registered Copyrights.

Lol you’d already have to be paid to release that many albums of just instrumentals. This was before mixtapes and would’ve actually cost a pretty penny to make back then.

Also wasn’t there a big thing about artists like this not getting paid for their samples being used? I remember a story of the guy who made the drum beat sampled in dozens of really popular songs that never saw a dime.

I’d tell people my middle name was “S” too if I were a boy middlenamed Sue. How do you do?!

What I’ve learned from this thread is that bingo spot must be the FREE spot in the middle of every board lol

Crack cocain is 10000x’s more rewarding and less of a come down when you realize you only spent 1/10th of the price of a console or gaming pc.
