    ianal, but I don't think colours are copyrighted yet! Anda soylent green wouldn't be the same green as our former hosts, there are so many greens to choose from. If the exact same green were used, well perhaps. But if the only thing Dice felt able to sue over was the colour I don't think it would make a very persuasive court case...

    Do we live in the shadow of slashdot, or are we truly free?

    That's what I tried to tell Barabbas. I can't see how a lime green or olive drab package of Soylent could be sued over. Caerainly not copyright, like you said, you can't copyright a color and the logo is a brand new work.
