No, they sued him for something called Copyright Infringement. Time for a lesson on copyright infringement from Uncle Dan.

Copyright Infringement involves engaging in one of the practices that are exclusively reserved for a copyright owner or a violation of the rights secured by a copyright, without a license to do so.

The term Coke™ is trademarked. Also trademarked is Coke Studios™; coincidentally, V-Ego™ is also trademarked. Using these names or items in a fashion that is not per the owners request can result in a lawsuit; i.e. registering a domain with one of those terms.

Upon discovery of said infringement, Coca-Cola™ can choose one of two options. Provide proper licenses to allow the user continued use of said trademark, or sue the shit out of 'em. In this case, they chose the latter.

If CokeStudios.org got sued for Copyright Infringement, I think MyCoke.org should fucking get sued, isn't that copyright too? i dont get that

Because you all seem so retardedly fixated on the problem, I am pinning this topic. The next person to make a CokeStudios.org topic is banned.

I don't see why we need a new topic for each one of them. This is the new CokeStudios.org thread. I'll be merging all the others with it. Post here about it.

Hmm.

I wouldn't be suprised if Takeshi did get sued.

Naming your own website after a copyrighted term that you have no rights of isn't exactly a smart idea.
