I had my own small role in the brand’s life, for better or worse (for both Blockbuster and me). In the early 2000s, I worked at the busiest store in one of Blockbuster’s largest franchises. The brand, for me, is tied up with work: busy nights, irate customers and weird capers (exploding fire extinguishers, hunting down unreturned movies, customers ...
There is nothing unusual about a corporation protecting its trademarks and other IP. The irony to me — a rather bitter one as someone who feels he has his own tiny share of sweat equity in the brand — about Dish’s attempt to halt the branding of Free Blockbuster is that Dish seems to care so little about the Blockbuster brand today.

It has to be attached to something, somethi...
As for me, I would take the brand in a direction that diverges, utterly, from Lopez’s ideas. (No offense meant to Lopez, who, as a digital entrepreneur, no doubt is thinking more in terms of how to turn a profit. Since this is pure fantasy on my end, I have no such constraints.) Herbert’s idea of selling beer and pizza strikes me as particularly br...
