How unbearably stupid. How broken is our intellectual property protection system when a giant corporation can shut down pre-existing material just because it shares a word with the title of a movie?
What's next? Any game featuring the word "Star" receives a takedown notice from George Lucas for infringing upon "Star Wars"?
Can we not use the word "father" because it "infringes" upon trademarks of "The Godfather"?
How to we stop this petty nonsense and still give content creators the ability to protect their IP?
