Has copyright laws gone too far? Try to rap your head around this one, Man and Machine (M&M – not the candy) is suing both Apple and CBS for copyright infringement. This is where it gets complicated, in 2004 M&M made a water and chemical proof mouse and gave it the name Mighty Mouse. In 2005, Apple released its own Mighty Mouse, paying CBS for the right to use the name. M&M clams that CBS, who owns the rights to the Mighty Mouse cartoon from the 1940′s, didn’t have the rights to the name for technology purposes. Are you confused, I am? Here is what I think; M&M used the name Mighty Mouse without the rights and now to avoid large law suites from Apple and CBS, they have turned the tables. The market is too saturated with copyrights and people are to greedy about them. This need to stop!

In a world of mergers and acquisitions, one has to ask, have we gone to far? Recently Microsoft tired to buy Yahoo! but was unsuccessfully. What would a company like this be called? I have an idea for them if it ever comes back to the tables (witch I think it will). Presenting Microhoo!

There was another big possible acquisition that I have to ask, “why?” about. I present to you CBS|net. I know that this one is not as bad as Microhoo, but still… CBS Corporation wants to by Cnet.com.

And last but not least we have my personal favorite of the night, Circuit Buster. It has a nice ring to it (I think) and the marketing department would be fools not to use it! I mean, really, a dyeing company like Blockbuster buying a dead company like Circuit City. What are they thinking? I hope that this one doesn’t go through!

Well there you have it, an all in one deal, we have the future of computer software, television and retail. There isn’t much else out there. What is this world coming to?
