Okay no more IP ranting. And remember: I don't have a temper. I have a *passion for justice.*

@sarahjeong come back to the bay, yo. (But ™ shouldn't be about corporate control; it should be about consumer protection.)
@xor AGREE. Dilution ain't about that though. And that is why dilution is dumb as hell.

@sarahjeong agreed. Also, and I'm conflicted about this, but: shoehorning TK or geographical indications into US ™ makes stuff too weird. -
I don't think there should be protection for TK. Period. Geographical indicators should be a separate regime.
@xor -
The only reason I'm ok w/ geographical indicators in US law is because of how hilarious they sound. See: http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/7/955.4 …
@sarahjeong -
@sarahjeong now imagine an elderly Georgian man reading that law like directions down old country roads. -
@sarahjeong you are one of like 4 people on the planet I can make this joke to. WELCOME TO THE INNER CIRCLE.

@sarahjeong not that there shouldn't be TK at all, or *sigh* GI I guess, but it doesn't work to wrap it into an almost unrelated body of law -
@xor I think it should be all public domain. But it bums me out that the exploitation is so colonial and racialized
