h07.org — Seems like digg inc. prepares a lawsuite against the german digg-clone digg.de (now yigg.de), after registering digg as a trademark in europe. Why not fighting the other 60 clones which use pligg instead of guys who write a own software with tons of other features hu?

shouldnt it bet DIGGALL.PHP then?the case is that the guys from digg.de contacted digg inc. several times in the past about the process.. AND its not about this opensource love flag s**t you talking about.. h07 is a 8 year old organisation and as example founders of the xbox-linux project as example. Thats no s**t that are serious projects this guys had running in the past.Sure the base idea was to use digg.de as a .tld to drive behind digg.com and to get users, but they started to talk to digg inc. from the beginning without getting any reply, the fact that digg inc. filled a trademark request a few days after a mail from them is just lol.

I seriously doubt that digg, or krose, would sue anyone with out talking to them first. This person seems a bit paranoid.

Well, at some point, KR and company will need to protect their trademark and image related to it. So anything digg-esque may be in trouble in the near future. At what point that may be, it's hard to tell, but as interests in the company grows, the more likely this will happen. This is just how things work.
