If you want to talk about the Vloggies, let's talk about the Vloggies here in public. I support an open awards show that is owned by no company. I think that Trademarking Vloggies gives your company too much control. The Oscars are owned by the film industry, and the Emmys are owned by the TV industry. There were several sponsors last year, don't they also have as much right to the mark of the Vloggies as PodTech? Oh but you have more rights don't you? Because the person that came up with the idea, the person that organized it and made it a success was on your dime... The person that was just let go, right after the Trademark was filed... By landgrabbing "Vloggies", you are trying to own an industry, which is unconscionable. You guys are smart, you're just caught in a lot of bad decisions. You should donate that mark to the Creative Commons, or EFF, or create a new non-profit that will run the awards. That would be the right thing to do, and might start repairing the PR nightmare you guys are experiencing right now. -Kent, askaninja.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, John Furrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Kent, > Email me if you'd like to get involved and we can chat off list > > John > > ________________________________ > From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kent Nichols > Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 6:08 PM > To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [videoblogging] Re: irina gone > > > Well, great. > > So what are you going to do with the Vloggies this year John? > > -K > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com<mailto:videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com>, John Furrier john@ wrote: > > > > Kent, > > You're not sure.
