[...] It looks like DuroSport’s Second Life product development may already be under way. When we accidentally wandered into the office level upstairs, we noticed a few products weâ€™d never actually seen before. If you’re brave enough to venture upstairs, make it quick. Nero will almost certainly chew your head off if he catches you up there. He kept shouting something about “trade secrets” and “corporate espionage”. Apparently the man still believes that Microsoft stole the idea for the Zune from DuroSport. [...]

There was a lawsuit a while back where the US Mint sent a cease and desist order to the makers of “The Smell of Money” air fresheners. What is interesting about that is they weren’t suing for the use of the “money” image (you can make play money) but rather, were worried that the makers were implying that the masking scent was actually money (an alternative form of currency with intrinsic worth – scent rather than gold). In effect, this is what I think the Authors Guild is worried about (i.e. clarity) What if people get hooked on a scent that gets branded like “Tom Clancy” or “Danielle Steele” – stories that may smell like expensive red herring, or worse, like the authors themselves.

Let us hope this gets resolved – I am no fan of air fresheners that merely mask the scent of the bakelite case of the e-reader.
