I can't blame him, if you don't defend your trademarks then they cease to be trademarks. For example one of my acquaintances runs the largest Java conference outside of JavaOne and is even sponsored by Sun who own the Java™, but they had to change the name of the conference so that it doesn't include the Java name as Sun would sue otherwise. So, Devoxx is it is. Funny old world.

People have been buying official band/artist T-Shirts for decades, I don't think it's so different.

I don't really have strong feelings about the sneakers, at least the prices aren't grossly overinflated like the guitars'. But the case against Nike is pathetic - “irreparable harm and damage” my arse.

I have to say, though, that it's reached the point where just seeing a picture of EVH makes me want to punch him in the face.

I quite like the car in the picture though. Would be better if he got the hell off it.

with the tag-line, "if i'd used one of these mikey might be still in the band!"? They advertise themselves!

kidding, of course.

seriously, though, those shoes actually look quite cool. i wouldn't wear them or anything, and i'm not a major fan of sponsored everything, but as philly says, they're not too bad at all.
