Section. 8.

Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

"Minnesota Public Radio claimed in a suit filed earlier this month that it applied to register "The Current" as a trademark four months before Gore's network changed its name to Current TV."

Can anyone explain to me how Minnesota Public Radio is promoting the Progress of Science and useful Arts by filing this lawsuit?

The competition for the moonbat viewership is heavy.

Can anybody explain to me why there is such as taxpayer-funded (because that's what it is, it's not "public") radio and TV in the first place? We are a capitalist nation, if a company can't make money, it's because either there is a problem with the product (either price or quality) or it's not being marketed properly, or it isn't really necessary in the first place.
