to be any sort of citizen, you can reg it on your corp.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't pay
to ignore what i say, and i'm definitely going
to be enforcing
THAT part.

trademark instead of
the shitty meaningless South African one
mircea_popescu: they could have arranged a license back last year, if
they had a clue.

trademark enforcing moneyz, how about
that!

today i got
to send
them a notice
that
they either self-destruct and apologize or else i'm suing
them. in, obviouisly, romanian court.
mircea_popescu: soo, some
twerps in spain decided "trilema" sounds kinda cool, started a foundation whatever. i sent
them a friendly note about six months ago pointing out
that it's a registered
trademark and
they're playing with fire. which
they ignored.

to say I was a scammer and lie about me didn't help either."

this isn't because
they pay us, it's simply because we believe in free speech ; we do however ban people exercising free speech, because it's bad for business."
