50010620 IV! om Hail Satan!
perhaps the Church of Satan will start publishing books by
Crowley using Apple Computers as their sponsors, dedicated
to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, with an insignia
of a hand flipping the bird. would that be serving a
liberated and open-minded (Satanic) press? when does legal
prosecution (e.g. in pursuit of one's ownership, reputation,
and goodwill) become 'Satanic'?
blessed beast!

Apple gives satanists hell
By Macworld staff
Apple's legal team is in dispute with The Church of Satan.
The church's webmaster is an avid Mac fan and had created
parodies of Apple's Think Different advertising campaign,
featuring cult leader Anton Szandor LaVey. The site also featured
Apple's familiar Made with Macintosh Web badges and Apple logos,
claims MacEvangelist.
The images were maintained on the cult's site for two years.
Apple, fearing the negative connotations of having its brand
identity connected to the Church of Satan, forced it to cease
using them.
Not devil may care
Apple's legal firm, Arent Fox, insisted the images be removed, on
the grounds of trademark infringement. Its statement read: "Apple
believes that your use of the Made With Macintosh and Think
Different badges in this manner is likely to tarnish the goodwill
associated with the Apple trademark."
The Church contends that its Web site was built on a Mac, and
that the cult's webmaster was proud of this. It also believes
that Apple's 'Think Different' slogan is close to its own
beliefs, arguing that the company's decision to force the Church
to remove the images is tantamount to a suppression of belief.
Cult webmaster Peter Gilmore said: "View with fresh perspective
the company which introduced its Macintosh using a lengthy
commercial dramatizing an athletic young woman smashing the grey
visage of an Orwellian dictator on a video screen. She burst
through the ragged, shuffling hordes, a vision of Satanic
splendor, and refused to submit to conformity.
"If we were making this again today, the face on the screen could
be that of Steve Jobs, and Apples lawyers might be huddling
amongst the masses, only moving away from the crowd to stick out
a foot in an attempt to trip the heroine on her dash towards the
promotion of independent thought."
Evil logo
Gilmore added spookily: "It is also amusing to us that this
company uses as a corporate logo an apple with a bite taken from
it, which certainly appears to be a reference to that other
famous apple. We have not forgotten that forbidden fruit, which
would impart knowledge of Good and Evil, offered to Eve in that
mythical garden by none other than the serpent, an avatar of
Satan himself. Is it not then strange that they seem to fear the
admiration of the Church of Satan? As Anton LaVey himself would
have said, 'They want to dance, but their feet wont let them' ."
