Guys, there is already a show called Free Talk Live. It is a Libertarian talk show syndicated through Genesis Communications and is currently on in many markets throughout the US. I think It would be beneficial for your show if you changed the name. Aside from being a fast growing terrestrial radio show, they are also one of the top podcasts on podcastalley.com. I encourage anyone to check out the site and check out the Free State Project.

I am in no way affiliated with FTL. I am just a fan and I think there is a miscommunication somewhere that will end up hurting and complicating both shows. If you would like to contact the host, his name is Ian Bernard and you can get ahold of him at ian@freetalklive.com.

This is VNN Free Talk Live. Your points are noted.

And dismissed.

EclecticBuddha, it was good, and right of you to bring this up to try and cover VNN’s ASSets. Although AM could be right as long as it is always referred to as VNN’s Free Talk Live they should be ok. Free Talk Live probably has their name copyrighted. Edit: Trademarked

Btw, I have no affiliation with VNN;s FTL, so you can take my post as you will.

Yes, they should change the name of their puny libertarian escapade and quit piggybacking on the global popularity of VNN's Free Talk Live :p

I think in this case it has little to do with piggybacking for popularity. Many things of the same name can exist provided that a “reasonable person” could not mistake one for the other or it was obvious satire. 2 pod casts, both of the same name can be confused as such, thus someone (the one with the best attorney: read Jew) wins the case. Could be expensive, even just to defend against.

Just did a WHOIS and freetalklive.com has been registered since 2002.
From the Wiki entry:

The first broadcast was on a Sunday in November of 2002 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on 105.9 FM in Sarasota, Florida. After two weeks on Sundays, FTL became a weeknight show from 7p to 10p. It continued on air, gaining the first ratings that 105.9 had seen in weeknights for quite some time. However, it was not soon enough, because the station changed formats in the Summer of 2003. After a short stint on Internet radio, the show was picked up by 1280 AM WTMY, where it stayed for about a year. Then 1220 AM where it was "discovered" and it has been a syndicated program since September 2004. Free Talk Live won the podcast expo's Best Cultural/Political Podcast Award in 2005, in 2006 won the Best Political Podcast Award, and has been featured in Talkers Magazine's Best 250 Talk Shows.

I would humbly submit that the right thing to do, let alone the legally wise
thing, would be to rename VNN's FTL. It shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
It's not like Alex is sitting on a truckload of FTL t-shirts or something. How
about something as simple as Goyfire Live? Or VNN Live?

Edit: I just checked out THEIR forum. Wow, what a bunch of nigger-loving
weenies these libertarians are. Here is a discussion of the Gaede twins.

Wow, it took 9 whole posts for one of them to wish the twins to be raped by big, black "muh dicks."

As I told them, their FTL is a brand name, ours is a description.
