Supreme Court to rule on Slants case

Simon Tam of the Slants will be arguing his case before the U.S. Supreme Court. At issue: whether his band's name is offensive. Tam, an Asian-American, says that he is fighting bigotry by "seizing the bigots' own language," according to his lawyer. He's fighting for the right to trademark his band's name, which the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has been refusing to do on the basis that a 1946 law prohibits the registration of material that disparages people. The case has now been appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court, which just agreed to hear the case. (Pitchfork)
