Marvel Comics: stealing our language
Marvel Comics is continuing in its bid to steal the word "super-hero" from
the public domain and put it in a lock-box to which it will control the key.
Marvel and DC comics jointly filed a trademark on the word "super-hero."
They use this mark to legally harass indie comic companies that make
competing comic books.
Well, with M$ getting ownership of "Windows," I'm practicing saying,
"transparent-barrier building apertures," so I don't have to pay them
royalties every time I ask for more or less ventilation...
