Australian-born American media magnate, Rupert Murdoch, claims he owns the word "Sky". Murdoch is suing the online phone company Skype for illegal use of "Sky" in their name.
Murdoch lawyers said, "the key contention in the dispute is that the brands ?Sky? and ?Skype? will be considered confusingly similar by members of the public." The real issue: Murdoch is upset that investors won't know the difference.
This is going to be a Murdoch slippery slope; according to US Securities and Exchange Commission there are 226 companies that begin with the word "Sky" and 80 that have "Sky" in their company name. A few of these companies are direct competition to Sky news and broadcast media. (http://www.sec.gov/)
Not to get Murdoch all in a tussle, but SKY on the trading floor is already owned by a company in Indiana called Skyline Corporation. Skyline Corp was originally incorporated in Indiana in 1959 and founded in 1951. Their product is manufactured homes. (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SKY)

I suggest we now verbally replace all Rupert Murdoch's "Sky" with $ky (i.e. $ky TV, b$kyb).
