SUBJECT Re: [NYLXS - HANGOUT] Copyright Wars - Hershey Bars

Quoting Ruben Safir (mrbrklyn-at-panix.com):

> Copyright Confection: The Distinctive Topography of the Hershey Bar
> After a legal tug-of-war, Hershey's secured a trademark for the
> structural design of their classic chocolate bar
> Hershey
> The unmistakeable surface of the classic Hershey bar (SI)
> By Sarah C. Rich
> smithsonian.com
> October 24, 2012

Um... despite the word 'copyright' in the article header, the legal
claim discussed was one of the trademark. There was no copyright issue
anywhere in the picture.

Article is here:
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/copyright-confection-the-distinctive-topography-of-the-hershey-bar-90333279/

We at _Linux Gazette_ magazine were obliged to become really well versed
in US trademark law in 2003 when SSC (then the publisher of _Linux
Journal_) attempted to threaten the _LG_ editors with trademark claims.
Some of my notes from that incident are here:

http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Licensing_and_Law/trademark-law.html

As I mention on that page, the best _short_ explanation of trademark
law I know is Cory Doctorow's that same year:
http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2003/08/14/trademarks.html

Anyway, copyright and trademark are WAY different.
