$40,000/year private school sues school for low-income kids for $2M over "Commonwealth"

“no one planning to go to the Commonwealth School will have their pilot chopper them over to the Commonwealth Academy, shrug, and assume that the exclusive private school has been transformed into a place where the poors go)”

As a “poor” who worked my ass off to get accepted and win a scholarship to CS this statement is quite offensive. I took a bus and 2 different subway lines to get to school. It took over an hour each way on a good day, but a chopper sounds nice. Legalities aside I personally don’t want the reputation of where I went diluted. Any lawyer would have advised Commonwealth Academy to run a copyright check so they obviously knew of CS and decided to risk it. This isn’t as simple as “poor” vs “rich” and it reads like your views on copyright laws in general have led to a knee jerk reaction.
