Politico getting greedy for domain names

How can you tell that Politico is made up of old media types? Because of shit like this. Yeah, you're reading that right, they sent a cease and desist to a guy for naming his site The College Politico, and are demanding control of his domain. Any of you lawyerly types want to comment?

If this is the standard we're going by, Insty could send out cease and desists to everyone who goes by _____pundit, and shut down half the fucking blogosphere, the Moron-in-Chief could go after Flopping Aces, and anything else with the name Ace or Ace of Spades, on it. Politico is way out of line here, and we're gonna do as Ace recommends, we'll cite Politico if we use them as a source, but we'll be denying them sweet sweet linkage until a letter of retraction and apology is sent to College Politico.

We should all start new blogs with the name "Poltico" in them, "Politico-pundit", "Moro-politico", "Le Politico" "doubleplusunpolitico"

They're a bunch of assholes whose first big story was a fabricated hit job on Teh Fred.

Fuck em.

3 Considering that "politico" is a word with a distinct, but generic meaning that existed before Politico started to use it as the name of their site, my experience with the US Patent and Trademark Office says that they likely would not be able to trademark it. Having said that, I also know that you can still prevail in litigation if the name is so similar that it is likely to cause confusion among the general public. Not a slam dunk, but probably enough value in the "brand" that they want to avoid the appearance of being affiliated with another site where they have no say over content.
