[AlpacaTalk] Re: Intellectual Property Rights

Interesting, in that I just posted a long post with similar content to
my Certified Naturally Grown group regarding the use of the word
"organic". In this case the gov't has co-opted the term and made it a
legal term that unless we go thru there expensive and massive paperwork
requirements we are no longer allowed to use the word organic. So in
recent years another grass roots group (which organic used to describe)
has grown up and we call ourselves "Certified Naturally Grown". It gets
to be a real joke trying to communicate with a public unaware of the
legalese involved in the use of the commonly understood word "organic".

Also, there is a woman in the homeschooling world who has trademarked
the word "carschooling". Now if anyone ever posts anything referring to
doing schoolwork in the car and using the word car schooling they get an
email. I guess those people are everywhere.

Yuck.

Warmly, Janice
