Hirsch must be in need of traffic again

He generates a lot of buzz & links when he does this shit. I especially love the million dollar offers to random people to make a porn video.

With the popularity of mobile porn growing, I'd welcome a Pink Visual phone any day.

Well of course but whos going to think the "HTC Vivid" is actually a cooperation with Vivid?

Perhaps Hirsch should put some time in it to make that happen, now that would be news worthy.

The all new HTC Vivid, now pre-loaded with the complete Vivid library!

"For the past 27 years Vivid has worked hard to protect and build its brand. We believe this is a clear infringement and will use all legal remedies available to protect our trademark," said Steven Hirsch, founder and co-chairman of Vivid"
If he does not protect his trademark, he can lose rights to it

Is that phone better than their digital playground model or the Evil Angel edition?

Correcto!

Hmm, well if you squint and look sideways it's not a completely baseless claim, as they say you can use it to look at websites and watch porn...

the moment HTC is ordered to stop selling them, change the name or whatever I will be the first to say good job Steve and send him a xmas card. Until then its just another way of getting some eyeballs on Vivid

yeaaa.. with the fact it's a phone you'd have 'vivid mobile' which i think would be seen as definite infringement

it's certainly present a problem for vivid and future markets

I hope he hasn't seen http://www.pettitpaint.com/vivid.asp for their sake!

Except that this isn't a trademark breach at all. He only has exclusive rights to the mark in industries he works in or is actively pursuing. He doesn't have a mobile phone so he doesn't have a right to the mark. I can create "vivid" shoes using my own design for the word vivid and he can't do shit about it.

Exactly, so like the million $ contracts he offers the celebrity of the moment this is just for press. It get's him press so good on him I suppose.
