Back in the early 2000s someone bought the domain name like fuckgeneralmotors.com and had it redirect the webpage for Ford. The @eff (I think) had an online fundraising campaign to raise money for the defendent.* For $250, I supported a landmark case for #FreeSpeech, got two #2600 t-shirts and a lifetime subscription #2600.
I still have every issue I ever received for my lifetime subscription.

@2600 @oliversampson @pluralistic In my opinion, lawyers who advocate for the "sue everyone all the time, even if it's obviously fair use, just in case" approach to trademark enforcement are a threat to both freedom of speech *and* the integrity of the trademark system, and need to be disbarred.
Any CxO advocating for this shit needs to be fired by the board for wasting company resources on petty, time-wasting lawsuits.
