Refimprove date July 2007 Deleted image removed Image TMOQlogo.jpg right 150px TradeMark Of Quality abbreviated TMQ or TMOQ was a Bootleg recording bootleg record label that originated in the Los Angeles, California area during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The label was responsible for many underground Gramophone record records of Bob Dylan , Led Zeppelin , Jefferson Airplane , Devo , Grateful Dead , The Beatles , Frank Zappa , The Rolling Stones , The Who and many other popular rock music rock artists of the era. The major record labels were shocked and dismayed that any anonymous person could obtain or make a Bootleg recording bootleg recording of one of their artists and press up records and release them for sale. TradeMark of Quality was established in 1970 by two bootleggers, Dub Taylor and Ken Douglas now an avid sailor and author. They were quality conscious perfectionists who pressed all their album s on coloured, virgin gramophone record vinyl , and perhaps the first bootleggers to start producing real, printed picture covers, and later colour picture covers printed not inserts under the shrink wrap as seen on head shop bootlegs . Dub & Ken had released several albums under different names before settling on TradeMark Of Quality in 1970, the first being the in famous Great White Wonder by Bob Dylan.

Statutory damages for copyright infringement are available under some countries copyright law s. The charges allow copyright holders, who succeed with claims of infringement, to receive an amount of compensation per work as opposed to compensation for losses, an account of profits or damages per infringing copy . Statutory damages can in some cases be significantly more than the actual damages suffered by the rightsholder or the profits of the infringer. At least in the United States, the original rationale for statutory damages was that it would often be difficult to establish the number of copies that had been made by an underground pirate business and awards of statutory damages would save rightsholders from having to do so.

Intellectual property The Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act , often abbreviated to just INDUCE Act , is a bill introduced in the United States Senate which targets whoever intentionally induces any violation of copyright. The name came from an earlier version named the Inducement Devolves into Unlawful Child Exploitation Act. The proposed legislation was introduced as S. 2560 by Senator Orrin Hatch on June 22, 2004, and was then referred to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary . The Act would amend Copyright title 17 of the United States Code which is related to copyright s, by adding a subsection to the end of section 501. The subsection would state the following cquote Whoever intentionally induces any violation identified in subsection a of this section shall be liable as an infringer. In subsection g , intentionally induces means intentionally aids, abets, induces, counsels, or procures, and intent may be shown by acts from which a reasonable person would find intent to induce infringement based upon all relevant information about such acts then reasonably available to the actor, including whether the activity relies on infringement for its commercial viability. Nothing in this section shall enlarge or diminish the doctrines of vicarious or contributory liability for copyright infringement or require any court to unjustly withhold or impose any secondary liability for copyright infringement. The bill is broad and could lead to prosecution of peer to peer software makers, web sites or the overturning of home recording and fair use rights pioneered by the famous Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios Betamax case . Many critics fear that certain tools used today such as CD ripping and burning software , and even the Internet and personal computers themselves, could be considered to intentionally induce copyright violations, despite their utility for fair use purposes.

Trademark law provides protection for distinctive marks, certification marks, distinguishing guises, and proposed marks against those who appropriate the goodwill of the mark or create confusion between different vendors wares i.e., goods and services or both.

Cleanup date December 2007 The Trademark Official Gazette is a weekly publication of the United States Patent and Trademark Office USPTO which publishes newly registered trademark s. Once a trademark application has been examined by a USPTO examining attorney and is found to be entitled to registration, it is published in the Official Gazette of the USPTO. The Official Gazette provides anyone who believes they would be damaged by the registration of your published mark an opportunity to challenge the proposed registration. Once the trademark has been published in the Official Gazette, anyone who believes that the registering party s use of the mark might damage him or her has 30 days in which to file an opposition to the registration. If such an opposition is made, the registering party will be informed and then he must fight it or abandon the trademark.
