Trademark Infringement For "Computer Classics"

One of my regular online 'haunts' is the wonderful Retro Gamer forum. It's populated by a friendly bunch of regulars, and I usually pop on there at various points throughout a standard day.

I've just returned from a recent visit (and much laughter) after following a link to what must be one of the stupidiest forum posts I've ever read.

Retro Gamer forumite Ritchardo mkII kindly posted up a link to the CPC Zone Forums, along with the following brief description:

"To cut a long story short a somewhat confused man has contacted CPC Zone to try and get us to remove all mention of a Beau Jolly compilation that was released in 1987 because he believes it is infringing his trademark... that was taken out some years later... in America...

There's some unintentional comedy gold in there in my opinion..."

He's not wrong. "Comedy Gold" is a perfect way to put it.

Have a look for yourself, by pointing your browser over to:

The thread currently spans 3 pages, and it's well worth reading through the lot.

A big thank you to Ritchardo mkII for the heads-up.
