Lawsuit alleges New York Lottery and Scientific Games infringed trademarkReply
Maybe it's just because I don't know what comprehension skills are, but I think you've suggested that the lottery and SG have actually stolen the plaintiff's game. I can't really be sure, because you don't say what protected property you believe is being used, though the *press release* makes that point clearly: the Lottery and Scientific Games conspired to use Gameologist's Mark The lawsuit only claims infringement of their trademark. The trademark is Bling Bling and nothing more. Absen

Texas legislature defeats Internet lottery billReply
Money these families need to pay for groceries, the light bill or the rent could be wasted on the lottery instead, the two agreed. If their budgets are that tight, the odds are very good that they won't have a computer, internet access or a credit card. Besides, what's going to keep all those nasty poor people from walking down to their local 7-11 and spending that money on lottery tickets in spite of the lawmakers' opinions?
