Which I would be fine with suing somebody pretentious enough to use The Edge as a stage name. I guess they'll be suing the U2 guitarist next.

The logo for said game makes those words in the middle very small, so that any casual observer would simply read "MIRRORS EDGE." "Mirror's Edge" happens to be the name of a big-budget video game published to great fanfare by Electronic Arts last year. So while filing frivolous suits to protect his worthless mark, Langdell has no problem stealing the legitimate trademarks of others. Lovely.
