I would be interested in folks thoughts on the impact of the case. While at first blush it appears to be a victory for protecting the public domain, might it not have the effect of increasing copyright filings? As I understand it, the case limits the use of the trademark protection. If I was the owner of content, it would tell me that I should copyright everything and anything as soon as possible.
