Google Threatens Chinese Knock-Off Site

Want a surefire way to piss off Google? Copy the company’s logo and then laugh as you refuse to remove it. No, really. It works for the Chinese.

A Google spokeswoman said on Tuesday that the company has officially asked Goojje to stop copying Google's logo, which is protected by trademark. China has a notoriously poor record at protecting intellectual property rights. Pirated software, music, movies and clothing, among a host of other goods, are widely available throughout the country despite repeated government crackdowns.
