FBI Gets Litigious With Wikipedia

[Evilsanta]

I guess that this is more important then catching actual criminals... Fuck the terrorists and pedos its Wikipedia that is the real threat!

Isn't posting the seal on the Escapist setting you guys up for the exact same court case?

I've considered printing out a nice pretty picture of this symbol to frame it on my wall as a big "LOL" every time I look at it.

Shouldn't the G-men be going after actual criminals? Because last I checked there's a lot of them out there.

I almost want them to lose so they would have to put up a picture saying:

"Image removed by the F.B.I."

And you want them to follow through while they have REAL crime to stop? It's like buying a donut to play Frisbee. You are missing the point!

God, it was a joke. It would have been funny to see on the FBI wiki page.

I know it was a joke, and that's why i said you miss the point. Can we allowed such petty thing going on when it's your highest authority does stupid thing like that? You shouldn't consider it like a lame Scooby doo pun, but more seriously. After all, you are paying their salary so they keep your ass safe.

But this whole thing is so very stupid, and this is the internet.

Do what you will, I'm Canadian.... but think about this: What if it's legit? What if they really are suing Wikipedia over a Logo? Would you still want those guy in a position of power?

They won't win, and I am so use to my country doing stuff like this I'm ready to move to the U.K. once I get my degree. Or maybe Canada. Who has better jobs for programmers?
