That may be true M10...but what is there to stop a deep pocket from tormenting little people?

There is the option of generic ships and planes...ie...P-39 becomes "early war single-engine in-line piston driven fighter of US origin" **(any resemblance to historical aircraft is unintended..the publisher admonsihes grognards to resist their native tendancies and not invoke the name of historical aircraft)

Awww geez. I guess this explains all those generic car makes in Grand Theft Auto. At this rate someday all legitimate commerce and industry will be shut down. The economy will just revolve around litigation.

And you are basing your belief that it doesn't already on what exactly?

The US justice system is very simple to understand. All aspects of it were written
by lawyers for lawyers, and justice has NOTHING to do with it. It's not about who
has the best case, but who's lawyers have the best bullsh1t. Name me one other
nation in the world who's "Justice System" could LEGALLY find O.J. Simpson both
guilty AND innocent of the SAME CRIME?

I've lived here all my life, and the only way I've ever found of understanding the
US judicial system is to think of it as a social welfare program for lawyers.

I can name Sweden. The killer of the Swedesh Prime minister in 1985 was convicted in a cort but was freed in another. He was freed in a higher court but I don't know if this was the case with OJ. Another thing I heard, from an american friend, is that they are building water pipelines in the desert bordering Mexico because some illegal immigrants died from dehydration there. A court found the state guilty and they must now build said pipelines so that the illegal immigrants can survive the trip. Can anyone confirm this?

On a visit to San Diego we drove through the desert and saw blue barrels with flags sticking out of them along the road every mile or so. We stopped to look in side the barrel, and there were about five one-gallon jugs of water. We immediately concluded that it was for illegals lost in the desert. Whether that was mandated or some private effort, I don't know.

As for O.J., different verdicts makes sense to me. A higher standard of proof applied in the criminal proceeding. It's the difference between "he probably did it" and "he undoubtedly did it."

Thanks for the answer. When my friend told me about it I thought that it must be an urban legend or something, couldn't believe it but it was true it seems.

Gee do you think we should start a support group for the Wildcats, Cosairs, Privateers, and Mustangs, these animals/people deserve the protection from mega corporation using their names for their products and not paying them for the right. I smell megabucks.

I'd buy a T-shirt just to make visible the depths of lunacy out legal system is now entering.

On behalf of lawyers, I'd just like to say that property rights must be defended. I just disagree that Northrop has a property right in this instance and, even if they did, I'd like to see exactly what damages Northrop suffered. There are already enuff companies whose copyrights, IP, etc. are ripped-off in places like China. In fact, one of the arguments China uses when it actually admits that it occurs there is that US companies do not do enuff to protect their copyrights, trademarks, IP, etc. so why should China enforce it for them.

As to some of the other stuff like "millions of dollars awarded in damages" crap, if you can prove that you suffered x amount in economic damages, by God and the Constitution you have a right to redress. Just kidding about the God part, thought is sounded more like Chuck Heston would have said it.

Feel free to go back to the "I can't believe how much the US justice system sux" thread.

No problem with LAwyers or anyone else who does what is "right" its the scum sucking leaches that have most interested parties crying for tort reform in the us!

and I totally agree on property rights as a writer, we would have no culture of learning if we had not had an understanding of property rights as our heritage in this country

Yes, indeed. Alas, it's the scum sucking 95% that give the other 5% a bad name.

Copyright and trademark law has nothing to do with "property rights". Intellectual "property" is the world's worst misnomer.

Most Americans have a sense of fair play, I think...

If you can seriously justify the damages, you deserve them. But the cases most regular folks hear about are like: A woman buys a cup of coffee at a fast food restaurant, spills it in her lap while trying to drink it and drive at the same time, and sues (and wins) for millions. (Do you know how long it would take me to earn a million dollars, before taxes? Answer: 25 years. How do you justify that much?)
Too many people see the courts as a means to "get rich quick", at the expense of somebody perceived as having deep pockets, including (some) lawyers.

Actually I think that the complaint is about the "Name" such as Wildcat because F4F is the Goverment assigned designation for the A/C the company named it. Now this brings up the possibility of re-naming the A/C. How about the F6F Heckcat, P-39 AeroCoupe, F-16 Bird-of-Pray, F-15 Bigger Prayer, then there is the P-40 P...hawk no maybe Felinehawk. Of course some A/C have second names anyway, the P-47 Jug, or the A-10 Warthog, or B-52 Buff.
