Seriously? 😕

Canadian court finds Subway’s trademark rights infringed by cannabis retailer that adopted “Budway” parody mark

I donated to Standard Ebooks.

I said I'd post here whenever I #donate and so I have.

Well, yep. However, as article 14(2) of German Basic Law states: "Property entails obligations. Its use shall also serve the public good".
