Interesting discussion, on one level or another, among non-specialists including Matthew Yglesias of a leftish stripe on the politics of trademark infringement at TPMCafe. They’re disappointed that Democrats are going along with the proposed changes to the federal dilution statute, and they should be. Yglesias links back to a column by Atrios, who says, “The original purpose of trademark law was to protect consumers from confusion, not to protect the sanctity of a brand.” Who’s said that before?
UPDATE: Another point of view, via Instapundit.
