The question of LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION is the signal test to determine if a trademark infringement claim is valid. This blog is about trademark law, copyright law, free speech (mostly as it relates to the Internet) and legal issues related to blogging.
As for me, I'm Ron Coleman, a trademark lawyer in New York. More precisely, I'm a commercial litigator, business attorney and "IP maven" with a special interest in copyright and trademark infringement involving the Internet--including advising clients how to avoid them. I am also a writer and notional general counsel of the largely notional Media Bloggers Association. My firm, Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP, has offices in New York and New Jersey. I'm also a contributor to a few other blogs, including Dean's World.

I predict efforts to find the culprits here that will make the RIAA’s Keystone Kops routine look like the Bush Administration’s version of border security.
UPDATE: Looks I was right, and right on time.

Downloading as I type. And I’m going to buy 2 copies tomorrow. I can’t imagine anyone willing to DL a copy who won’t also buy one. Though I tottaly understand why the publisher would freak out about this…
