Canada's so-called Prince of Pot has received a legal notice from CBC telling him to stop promoting a hockey game screening event as "Hockey Night in Vansterdam.''
Marc Emery had purchased a 50-inch plasma-screen TV and decided to start showing playoff hockey games at the B.C. Marijuana Party's Vapour Lounge earlier this year. Emery said there are plenty of places in Vancouver to have a beer and watch a game but there's nowhere to smoke pot and enjoy some sports viewing. But the CBC alleges Emery has violated its trademarks. "We will act vigorously to protect the brand of Hockey Night in Canada'' said CBC spokesperson Jeff Keay. Attachments to the letter from the CBC's lawyers indicate the trademark has been in use since 1931. The Dutch city of Amsterdam is known around the world for its liberal attitude toward drug use. Emery has combined its name with Vancouver to come up with Vansterdam.
