MandrakeSoft ordered to drop trademark
When surfing the web I found this short article about MandrakeSoft. In there it states that:
"The decision could force the Paris-based software company to surrender its trademark and domain names and to pay nearly $90,000 (70,000 euros) in damages to the U.S. companies, holders of the rights to the comic strip character Mandrake the Magician. The comic strip marks its 70th anniversary this year."

In other words Mandrake's name is being taken down and they have to pay a fine of €70,000 to the US because there happens to be a comic strip that has the same name as they do.
Don't you people belive that this has gone a bit to far?
