“The name of Anonymous will not be the whore of the world.”

The company Early Flicker, or E-Flicker, has registered the headless man logo and the slogan ‘We are Anonymous, We do not forgive, We do not forget. Expect us’ with the French National Institute of Industrial Property. Apparently, this would grant E-Flicker the right to financially exploit the Anonymous logo.

All well and good, except that the Anonymous hacker group has vowed revenge.

“Their arrogance and ignorance of what they have done will not go unpunished,” promised the group in a video on YouTube. “Anonymous will take down any business they have going on the internet and the ninety nine per cent will not stop until the registration has been revoked and a public apology has been made. The name of Anonymous will not be the whore of the world.”

Interesting indeed. Our bet, Anonymous, the group, wins.
