  I am pretty sure it would not be hard to find a dozen or so individuals, who shares their name with someone famous, to issue some take downs.

  Would be interesting to check if it has been registered as an image or a word. If it's an image the odds are he is infringing someone else's copyright for the font used in the pi symbol.

  Zem ( profile ), 25 Mar, 2014 @ 09:05pm

  It's all true. Snowden has used Russian money to build that time machine blueprint he stole and has gone back in time to make sure the Brittish now lose the 1853 Crimean war.
  
  Don't believe me, check your history books! The Brits lost, while those of us who remember our true history know that Russia lost that conflict and was thrown from the Crimea for ever.

  They could be smart and start up their own net delivered streams so when that happens they continue to exist as a company.
  
  Or they could puts all their eggs in a the legislative basket and hope for the best.
