Is the BYOND name trademarked or copyrighted or whatever?(sorry, not familiar with how copyrights and trademarks work), because there is a new site i didn't see before called byond.org... it's some disaster relief website.

Time to sue the pants off some highly-original-name-stealing humanitarian aid workers!

He can't.
A similar thing happened a year or two ago with Blizzard and Valve. All Valve had to do to avoid any issues was make sure they named their game "Dota 2" and not "DOTA 2", since DOTA is an acronym but when you lowercase the letters it's just a word. BYOND is Build Your Own Net Dream. Byond is just... Byond. | |
I didn't say anything about suing, lol. I was just asking if that is legal.

It's a completely different product therefore it's legal.
Now if they had software that is like BYOND's, ie Game making software, then yes one could sue them. | |
Disaster relief? Where's my relief? Clearly Tom uses them funds from this site to fund that one. Horrible. That, or he uses funds from that one to keep this one going.

We're unraveling Tom's master plan. Quick- before we all get banned and Tom acts like this post never happened; screen shot!
Tom has clearly started these other companies/brands in a attempt to gather riches. This is clearly how he's been paying for his top-dollar ramen. | |
