Author	Topic: Can't use 'Miracle Grow' as a deck name?
Valmtg Member	posted March 15, 2003 10:25 AM So I guess I can't call my Stacker 2 deck (ephedra free kiddies) that anymore? What about Teletubbies? Hmm... I'd tell them that if they want to get to the source then they should contact WotC and Hasbro and have them pick it over. Obviously, whoever is behind this is a money hungry SOB that has NO IDEA what he's trying to do. I'd tell them to cease and desist before a lawsuit gets started up by all MOTLers here for harassment of a private business that has NOTHING TO DO WITH FERTILIZER! IF this were to go to court (and IF it ever does, I'll Sharpie myself blue) the judge would throw this out so fast that you can countersue for pain and suffering and loss of time at work and school and for the bad feelings it as caused for all MOTLers here. They'll think twice once someone gets their head out of their lawyer butts. __________________ GøÐÐë§§ "I found you in Hell, you think I can find you in Jersey."

I faxed and mailed them my response a while ago, basically telling them they were confused and had no case. I haven't heard a thing since and I assume they just dropped it. __________________ Leshrac leshrac@magictraders.com Founder, Owner - Magic Online Trading League (MOTL) "Working hard, so you don't have to..."

meep Banned	posted March 23, 2003 07:32 AM kind of related... The Olympic Committee made Legends of the Five Rings stop using their 5 linked rings in a circle because apparently they have a copyriht on all 5 linked circle pictures. What a crock of bling bling! Miracle gro is not even a product name. It is a Nick name that players use. Not any company. Silly people.
Dmsa Member	posted March 23, 2003 04:07 PM MIRACLE-GROW ohh no... i said it! i wonder if any other web site with MIRACLE-GRO primers, and or decklists have been threatened, by this usless, farce of a money grubbing fat headed lawyer. Either ABELMAN, FRAYNE & SCHWAB sucks at mtg or his plants are brown.

potm Member	posted May 04, 2005 02:45 PM What I used to do sometimes is check the last page of threads, then get carried away in an old discussion so that I nearly post on it.

Darth Vader Member	posted May 04, 2005 10:34 PM What I want to know is how the heck did the lawyers find out about it? I mean, come on, I'm pretty sure they don't go through every single post on every website, someone MUST have tipped them off, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe someone's got a bone to pick with MOTL. But seriously, this is bordering on harassment, maybe you can sue them... Anyway, I think what probably happened is that an employee of Miracle-crap plays Magic and saw it on this site, and felt fcking obligated to report it back. And the company's lawyers are obligated to do something about it. That's probably why it took a frigging year, cos nobody probably gives a sht about it anyways. What a frigging waste of everyone's time... By the way, Miracle-Grow, Miracle-Grow, Micracle-my-ass! So sue me, biatch! :-)

Any large company with a well-known name would most likely frequently run searches of their trademarks just to make sure they aren't being abused. __________________ Help Leshrac out, Donate to MOTL Stack 3!

coinmagic45 Member	posted May 04, 2005 11:30 PM That makes sense, but taking it to this extreme is just ridiculous. They could have at least dignified Magic with a better title than "trading cards" __________________ 6th most references in Kentucky! 4th most posts in Kentucky!

JoshSherman Member	posted May 05, 2005 06:14 AM Anyone know how much of a pain in the pitoot it is to have post notify enabled on a two year old thread that someone happens to reopen for no friggin reason? NEWSFLASH Obviously it had disappeared because nobody had said anything about it for two years.
