As a trademark lawyer I can tell you that they did not lose or win, you are allowed to use someone elses trademark for PARADOY, that is why you see the funny fake ads, and things like that. So, Walmart did not lose thier trade/service mark on the YELLOW SMILEY FACE, they only lost this case (and whatever lawyer told them to base the case on that is one lousy attorney...)
BTW, I do not give two shits about ripping and sharing music...I am of the library belief. We have a place that lets you borrow things for your own enjoyment without buying them and people still buy books. So, keep on sharing...
