Sanders Campaign Accused of Trademark Bullying By Web Site (buzzfeed.com) 

 Buzzfeed is reporting that "An online merchant has accused the Bernie Sanders campaign of 'trademark bullying'. after a Bernie 2016, Inc. attorney sent him a cease and desist letter regarding t-shirts, mugs, and sweatshirts depicting the candidate with historic communist leaders..." 

The t-shirt's designer tells Buzzfeed "He didn't seem to be the type of candidate, the type of guy, who would do something like this... I would think Bernie, or one of his staff members will step in and put an end to it. It appears to be pretty silly." 

 
In January Ars Technica reported that lawyers for the Sanders campaign (SNL) had demanded their logo be removed from pages on Wikipedia -- before later withdrawing that DMCA notice.

 "A British Airways flight Sunday appears to have collided with a drone on a flight bound for London's busy Heathrow Airport in what may be the first such incident involving a major airline," according to MarketWatch. 

 "The flight from Geneva, Switzerland to Heathrow, Europe's busiest hub, is believed to have struck a drone, the London Metropolitan Police said in a statement. 

The plane landed safely following the incident, which occurred around 12:50 p.m. local time.

 'It was only a matter of time before we had a drone strike given the huge numbers being flown around by amateurs who don't understand the risks and the rules,' said BALPA flight safety specialist Steve Landells...

 'Much more education of drone users and enforcement of the rules is needed to ensure our skies remain safe from this threat'."
