SCT

I fail to see the connection between a social activist record label using the word permaculture in their name (as in permanent culture, get it?) & snake oil sales men & pedophiles. Here in Wisconsin the word permaculture is used often as a generic term for sustainable design & rarely references the canon as created by Mollison & others. Really no different than blowing your nose on a kleenex & xeroxing old love letters.

Well my tongue is not in my cheek - I believe, as did Bill M. that use of the word permaculture was earned through some understanding of permaculture design! I understand, mKiEl.., that thousands of people and organizations use the word permaculture - and for the most part I find that they are people of integrity and honor in that use, but there is always the pornographer, black box salesmen, pedophile, and snake oil man who gloms onto any ride that might provide a buck on the backs of others efforts! I am most vehemently against this kind of huckterism.

Well my question was tongue in cheek and I was thinking of Bill Mollison's trademarking of the word 'permaculture' and previous attempts he'd made at enforcing this...

It's not copyright infringement, but even if someone had already
trademarked "permaculture", this still probably wouldn't be
infringement because it is a wholly different industry. But I am not
an IP lawyer so...grain of salt.
