View submission: [Recap] The great xkcd mod-sidebar blowup
It makes me wonder if there's a trademark issue here. I'd wager XKCD isn't registered, but that's not required for certain limited-scope trademarks. I wonder if Monroe could assert a trademark claim over the XKCD subreddit based on the potential for confusion, arguing that the scope of the mark is the online marketplace, rather than a specific geographic one.
That said, I doubt highly that Monroe would be interested in this type of litigation. But it'd be very interesting to watch.
There's nothing here!
