1047. No, not that Sam Adams. This Sam Adams.Seriously, you people really think you're defining your rights to your trademark by threatening to sue some people who are parking domain names for a Portland city commissioner who's running for mayor? Are you really seriously thinking that we'll confuse the two?
Are you going to sue me becaue 1/3 of my name is precisely equal to 1/2 of your brand name?
Naturally I shant be drinking any Sam Adams from hencerforth. Of course, in a town that boasts more decent craft brewers than we have a right to, I don't know why anybody does–the fact that PBR is apparently PDX's favorite brew completely baffles me. But still!
There's a reason lawsuits have such a bad rap. Now will you please talk to your sane legal eagles and have them make you understand why this is a stupid thing to do?
Here's a tip: though I'm no lawyer, I'm pretty sure Commissioner Sam Adams is neither a service, nor a product. Just throwin' that one out there.
Update: I think I've found a loophole. Peep this here.

Please visit http://www.samadamssucks.org to sign my petition. Let's send a message to the Boston Beer Company letting them know that Mark and Dave or Sam Adams (the person) should be allowed to keep/use those domain names.
Done, and done.
