Licence to Chill
Recommend on Google+
BUSS1 has been and gone, however, this is still a cool story about copyright.
A small refrigeration company has been ‘forced’ to change its name from 007 refrigeration to 700 refrigeration after being contacted by MGM who say that the using 007 and the slogan licence to chill is an infringement of copyright. A case of corporate bullying or a justified action by a multi-million pound business?
A nice little story that would make a good starter to a lesson.
