  ASU is trying to stop an adult website from using “Sun Devil” in its name, taking legal action against Digital Dream Media Inc., the website operator of SunDevilAngels.com. ASU alleges the website is using its trademark and intellectual property without permission.

If you ask me the folks at ASU should be more concerned about educating the kids, then stopping porn.

ASU trying to stop porn site’s use of ‘Sun Devil’

Has the devil gotten hold of Arizona State University’s premier trademark?

The school is trying to stop an adult website from using “Sun Devil” in its name, taking legal action against Digital Dream Media Inc., the website operator of SunDevilAngels.com. ASU alleges the website is using its trademark and intellectual property without permission.

Digital Dream Media of Palm Desert, Calif., declined to comment.

It’s not unusual for universities to protect their trademarks. A few years ago, Arizona’s state universities bought a handful of websites with “xxx” domain names linked to state university names before the sites were offered to the public.

ASU spokeswoman Terri Shafer said that the university tried to resolve the issue first but that site operators responded in a “dismissive and uncooperative fashion.”
