[offtopic] Crazy Idea (was: RE: "Open Source" needs your help! ("Eric S. Raymond"))



A more practical yet just as crazy idea is to trademark your own
E-mail address, and license its use to any comer except for
those who want to abuse it by sending commercial junk E-mail
messages (known also as "spam").
                                                      --- Omer
Warning:  by sending commercial junk E-mail (known also as "spam")
messages to any of (as yet un-trademarked) my E-mail addresses,
you irrevocably agree to pay me US$500.- (plus any legal fees incurred
by me while collecting this amount) per commercial junk E-mail
message - for the service of receiving the message.

what's next...trademark the word "GOD" and ask for
payment from people who reads the bible? trademark
"Cohen"?
