  Re: BskyB who?

  They're unlikely to sue sky.com: they ARE sky.com.

  Re: Re: Re: BskyB who?

  But will that really stop them from suing themselves?

  BSkyB

  News Corp. only own 38% of BSkyB, not even a majority, rendering the title incorrect.
  
  @Berenerd British Sky Broadcasting "BSkyB" trades as Sky. It owns Sky.com and Sky News. It sells TV, Internet and Phone in the UK and has an all lower-case logo (a bit like skype).

  So when Skype loses, they have to change their name to.. Pe?
  
  I almost want Murdoch to win this one.

  They should raise their middle fingers and change the name to Murtalk.

  Loose? Perhaps they should have had tighter control.

  I feel like the faster Rupert Murdoch.........moves on to a better place, to put it nicely......the better off the world will be. I wonder if there's a special ring in hell for greedy a$$holes that abuse their power like this.

  How the hell did Skype lose that muppet of a case? Anyone with half a brain can see they are not the same.

  Is there a full moon out? One company is filing a trademark infringement lawsuit for an infringement that has yet to happen. And now you have Murdoch suing a company because it has the word 'sky' in it's name.

  SkyDrive

  Will Microsoft be suied over their use of the term skydrive with Office 2010. I bet not as Microsoft are a little large for that. Is this a case of just bullying by someone more powerful. Dont look up the s_y is falling.
  Please!
  If it were BSkype or even SkypeB you would think that justified. However it isnt.

  Maybe The BBC Should Sue BSkyB

  The company name has the same number of Bs in it, which clearly makes it confusingly similar.

  This just in

  In a crazy turn of events, the makers of KY Jelly are suing Newscorp for the use of their "ky" in their sky brand. They have further justified this claim by exhibiting key survey respondents who couldn't differentiate the two companies when asked which one provides a stimulating entertainment experience.

  What is this blue thing up in the air? Let's sue nature too, Sky...
  
  Next, sue all those people that claim that the Sky is falling, as that's clearly slander!
  
  GFY, Murdoch, and crawl back under your bridge.
