I’m assuming “trademark” is somewhat similar to “copyright.” I don’t know much about other fields, but in music you can copyright a song. However, you cannot copyright a title. Some composers with integrity therefore avoid writing new material with a title that has already been used. But others don’t care at all. Hence there are many songs bearing the same title.

A trademark is used to identify a good or service. Current examples include "I'm lovin it" for McDonald's and Thin Blue Line.

No comment about Julian Assange for "Truth, Justice, and the American way"?

No comment from me, Jon, because it could easily turn political ... which would derail this thread.

In a technocracy, manmade things, such buildings and languages, can lose their spirit and beauty. "Truth, Justice, and the American way" is today more Clockwork than Orange.

@tommy, what's the problem with an orange clock?

Black Oil Matters

As for the Orange Clock, its problem is that it has no choice: it is totally good when wound up by God and totally evil when wound up by the Devil.

When a magician takes an Orange from a tree, who knows what makes it tick?

Don't you mean "mostly peaceful protests" ? (see now, there's an example of Newspeak in action)

Lately, I have been hearing the term "price gouging" being used in some new and creative ways.
