Light Reading is a very comprehensive resource for information on telephony and communications networks.
Today, the site reported on a lawsuit filed against Spam Arrest LLC by Hormel Foods Corp. claiming that the use of its trademarked name for processed meat is being mis-used by the software company. Light Reading reported that:
" 'Hormel is acting like a corporate crybaby and ought to can it," (Spam Arrest CEO Brian) Cartmell is quoted as saying in a press release. ' "
The quote strikes me as a little odd, given its source. If a venerable company should "get over it" when millions use their tradename to disparage and sensationalize the UCE problem, maybe the folks who take it upon themselves to choose to define for others what they should read might try a little tolerance, also.
