Can't Drink Coke In A Movie Without Coca Cola's Permission?
Techdirt: "As you watch companies and lawyers try to expand the meaning of trademark protection well beyond what it's supposed to do, you start seeing all sorts of ridiculous actions. "

What? That makes no sense... just like the article suggested, aren't these advertisements good for the companies? I mean really, advertisement is advertisement... We can always go back to the logos that clearly looked like Coke but said like Poke on it. =P
I don't think Coke, much less any company, should have the right to do this. I mean if someone can blatantly rip off someone else's art work (http://www.juxtapoz.com/jux/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=841&Itemid=1)
and sell it as their own without possible legal repercussion, then coke can just deal with being in movies getting free advertisement.
This is the link
it got a little cut off
It's not like the movie is deliberately taking coke's logo or secret formula and somehow calling it their own... I feel as though showing a can of coke is completely different from pretending like the design of coke is yours. Who knows.. this is just crazy.
