Is "Flip" of DVIN really trying to trademark "Internet Zaibatsu" or even anything close? Considering how often Son has used that phrase in public so many times, that would be pretty ballsy of Flip. I don't suppose his grasp of native Japanese is too well developed. BTW, the term zaibatsu actually implies very rich according to my wife (a native Japanese speaker). That reminds me of a story here in Arizona where some ex relatives of mine (ex wife's family) were attempting to stake a mining claim in the middle of a working open pit mine. Apparently they found a loophole in the original mining claim <G>. I think they were chased out at gunpoint. People were pretty direct here in old Arizona.
