If I had a business I would not want any possibility of confusion with anything Al Gore had touched (or invented). Sounds like Gore had sloppy lawyers advising him when he chose a name. But then again that is Web Hubble-Hillary Rose Law Firm legacy.
BTW--where is O'l Web these days. I like to keep track of the pesky Clintonoids.
How about $1.00 and ordering him to march up and down in front of 1600 for 30 days with a sign around his neck saying, "I Am Not Current"?
Gee.... You'd think they'd cut the "father of the internet" some slack in this area... :)
There may be some merit to this case.
Current (the over-the-grid communications carrier) would find it difficult to separate itself from (Gore's) Current Media if, in the future, it actually carried the (Gore) network over its network.
(Gore's) network might be seen as a subsidiary of the carrier.
Who is the publisher that is owned by Viacom that "conveniently" hawks it books on faux-news shows on its own TV network (CBS).
My guess is, they (grid carrier) would not want that to be the appearance. (Duzzat make sense to anyone but me????)
Has anyone here ever watched The abomination called Current?
My advice to you if you haven't, is don't do it. I will never get back the precious 30 minutes of my life that was wasted!!!
