Too Much Copyright
Has copyright laws gone too far? Try to wrap your head around this one, Man and Machine (M&M – not the candy) are suing both Apple and CBS for copyright infringement. This is where it gets complicated, in 2004 M&M made a water and chemical proof mouse and gave it the name Mighty Mouse. In 2005, Apple released its own Mighty Mouse, paying CBS for the right to use the name. M&M clams that CBS, who owns the rights to the Mighty Mouse cartoon from the 1940s, didn’t have the rights to the name for technology purposes. Are you confused, I am? Here is what I think; M&M used the name Mighty Mouse without the rights and now to avoid large law suits from Apple and CBS, they have turned the tables. The market is too saturated with copyrights and people are too greedy about them. This need to stop!
