Same vibe - searching for a solution on StackOverflow, best answer is one I wrote ...

To be fair Dolphin's defaults are insane, they seemed to have approached it as 'how can we allow file/folder navigation but hide as much information as possible'. If you're a minimalist you might like it, if you want to use a file manager to manage files I can't really see how the defaults are useful.

You should drop him into Iran to face punishment from the Iranian families whose children he bombed at school.

Not only do you not know what makes a potential trade mark generic, but you don't know what a straw man is either ...

You're sort of right about the names, but know of standing in this case has the given name "Demon Hunter", it's a band name.

Trade mark is a registered IP right, it doesn't matter if you intended to infringe it, you can't trade using someone else's registered name (in the same field of commerce, and same geographic area).

Nintendo has a line of Demon Hunter games. D&D has a class Demon Hunter.

Fwiw, games and video games fall into difference Nice classes (commercial areas of application of trade marks). Without those things being international household names in and of themselves then it's not relevant; unless you were saying that Nintendo or a D&D company had registered the trade marks for music already.

Basing your laws on the sex and colour of skin of the people you apply them too ... I think there are names for that.

You keep saying it's generic, but you clearly don't understand the term as used with trade marks. Generic means it describes a product. So "Step up" couldn't be used for a stair company as competitors couldn't then describe "adding a step up to your front door", or whatever, without risking infringement.

Genericisation then is when a trade mark becomes used descriptively - dumpster, is a classic example, another is jeep.

"Demon Hunters" would be generic if the business operation was hunting supernatural beasts and a judge determined that to be a real occupation ... a singer/songwriter who called themselves "Solo Artist" would be generic.

There's acquired distinctiveness too, which is why "pianoman" could be a trade mark (I'm not sure if it is, probably still not distinctive enough).

The problem is that whilst the main issues we face are climate change and billionaires; it is still necessary to recognise that many immigrants have exploited their new host countries and we - in Western Europe at least - have been poor at weeding out the bad even when they're not hiding.

If you look globally, then The West is well off, a just balance of wealth means that almost all of us will have to be poorer. Humans are typified by greed, it drives us. In order to avoid major conflict we need leaders who have morality as a guide, but we're either too dumb or too greedy at a tribal level to rally behind these leaders.
