From the S*****cks department:
The company I love to hate, Starbucks, is threatening a coffee shop in Tulsa, OK with letters from their lawyers informing the owner of the DoubleShot Coffee company that he was infringing on a trademark because Starbucks has been using the term "Doubleshot" since 2001. The Starbucks lawyers advised DoubleShot's owner to "cease using the DoubleShot Coffee Company name, to shut down my website, www.DoubleShotCoffee.com, and to destroy everything I have which bears the 'DoubleShot' name." You can read the letter yourself if you travel to Tulsa, OK. It hangs directly above DoubleShot's trash can.
I urge you, fellow coffee lovers, to write Starbucks an e-mail telling them how foolish they are being. More importantly, I urge you all to buy your next paint can of coffee from DoubleShot Coffee Company in Tulsa.

Thanks for this--very informative. I believe I will write SBUX.
Maybe they should change their name. "Die Corporate Pig Coffee" has a much nicer ring to it, doncha think?
