here's some more evidence that corporates want to own EVERYTHING, even
people's names.

the International Olympic Committee has claimed ownership of the name of
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.



this is just one more example amongst thousands. there's a recurring and
obvious pattern: the "IP" scumbags know no limits, they will push the
boundaries repeatedly until they own everything. this is why i am so
unwilling to concede them even an inch, because they're already taking
miles.
