The two wouldn't really be the same. Amazon is apparantly trying to
make the word their own and be able to enforce it via trademark.
On the issue of Pivinski, I don't think there is a trademark
violation (there is another lawyer on this board who knows better
than me).
I don't think I could stop folks from quoting other folks.
It also has moved beyond "accusation" just from me. Both Pivinski
and his Editor freely admit he stole the style from me directly.
I made clear I wouldn't have cared if he were in another market, but
to steal it in the same market was really bad form.
What Pivinski did may or may not be actionable (I'm not looking into
it) but it does highlight his lack of courtesy, lack of creativity,
lack of style and lack of integrity. So too for Mike Booth who
won't edit him from doing it.
Have you seen Pivinski's last column? He cut and pasted so many
sources he ended up repeating the same information over and over.
He should really cite the source if he is going to use the content
of others.
