I stumbled upon this old article and because right now I'm part of the same problem I'd like to say that Automattic's intentions regarding the trademark are not that simple and clean as they appear to be. Read my post at my weblog to find out more about this issue.

With the day things are today, more people are getting interested in investing their money to make them grow faster. The problem is, not too many people are willing to take the risk of investing it because of the risks, so some of them just let their money rut in banks. Not that there’s anything wrong with banks, it’s just that they have low rates and the money takes a long time to grow. If you want real money, you have to have the guts to risk it. Making money needs money; risks are always involved if you want to have money fast and big.

[...] It seems the internal pages of Andybeard.eu are starting to gain some toolbar pagerank, such as this page on Nofollow which is showing PR4 My Google Reader post that enjoyed some link love from a number of notable blogs (though most didn’t agree with me) had been showing in the Google Webmaster Console as being the highest PR page on my site for both November and December. That is now PR4 as well. In theory I should be seeing some PR showing on the WordPress Trademark discussion, but nothing shows. [...]

I think people get to stuck on themselves at times and can hardly beleive at times I can not own a domain with a trademark name with it. So lets say I tradmark a company “city street” and i say you can no longer have a domain with city street in it anywhere. Or even better why not go a step further and say anything with “city” or “street” is off limits too. I mean why not. Here’s a good idea. Why not let tehm do it if they put something on there that just lets folks visiting they aren’t associated with that company? That just makes good horse sense.

I previously posted but it maybe got lost so here goes again for what it is worth.
I wouldn’t waste my time learning how to create my website and reading every thing out

there.and spending hours trying to post something interesting for others to read on a blog if it

wasn’t going to benefit me in someway why would I?. It takes time long hours and effort.
So tell me why else would I put my heart and energy into blog posting( among all the

garbage that is spewed out there) by housebound mindless twits if I didn’t have a chance of

advertising to the others among the world population who would prove to be a potential sign up

to my honest affiliate program which would be of mutual benefit?
There maybe egg heads who think they have great brains with ideas that will save the

world or others with wild music to drive them mad or some meat head with an axe to grind.
Let me tell you they are in the minority and if blog blokes running World Press or any

other blog depend on them they will be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.RE Affiliate

marketing the net was just made for it and it is here to stay So get used to it.
Let me just say this ofcourse Word Press have an axe to grind if anyone is going to

make money off the Word Press trademark , it had better be them.Nobody on the net is going to

say thank you to anyone who uses their Trademark and says well look I am benefiting you too IF

THEY USED THEIR TRADEMARK WITHOUT PERMISSION.
GET REAL.. `

[...] The latest dust-up came when WordPress selectively enforced trademark rights against two popular sites that sell WordPress tutorial videos. Without rehashing the whole thing here, in essence one might say that the problem boiled down to how those two sites looked. [...]
