Subject: Misusing trademarks for anti-competitive purposes

Message: 		 

 
In the Napster case it is said:

"If you use a copyright to achieve an anti-competitive purpose, you lose the rights to them,"

http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-2198482.html

They KNOW that they have to include classification and country, else only one trademark name may be used on the Internet.

Therefore using a trademark to achieve an anti-competitive purpose.

That law must surely apply to trademarks, they must lose the rights to them.
