Google issues writ to Booble sex site

Google issues writ to Booble sex site

The world's most popular web search engine has issued a legal warning to a copycat website that searches for adult material.

The management of Google is demanding Booble.com changes its name and identity. The www.booble.com page does look similar to Google, but under its logo says it's an adult search engine.

The site does offers a link to Google and says it's not affiliated with any other search engines. Booble insists their site is merely a harmless parody, and their front page states: "We have a sense of humour."

Google, which according to press reports has delayed plans to float next week on the New York Stock Exchange, has issued a writ against Booble.

The legal document calls on the pornography site to "permanently refrain" from using Google's name or any variation on it "that is likely to cause confusion or dilution", says BBC News Online.

But the US-based Booble replied by asserting its right to parody under the first amendment. "The entire universe gets the joke. Only a lawyer could say 'Booble' without smiling," it said.

However Google is refusing to accept Booble is harmless mimicry. "For a work to constitute a parody, it must use some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on the original author's works," Google said in a formal reply to the pornography site.

I think your Ok Sarah - you brought up something new. The article you posted was dated Feb 2.

Dupicate threads are a hazzard of a big board... Threads pass quickly sometimes. Plus some get to long..

The thing that really gets me is when someone brings up a two year old thread.
