Someone copyrighted the words “Urban Homestead” and “Urban Homesteading."
Lots of conflict has occured over the past 4 days because of this.
In an act of solidarity I am listing the URLs for the actual facts of what has happened.

If you are an urban homestead or urban homesteader, read the info and jump on board.
In honor of all my fellow homesteaders and farmsteaders I planted lettuce and some sprouts today. Its time to plant and plan.
Quite interesting. I don't see how words can be copyrighted???? What will be next? Thanks for letting us know. Does this mean that we cannot use those words without providing proper documentation? As a teacher a college research course, I wonder how to cite words. Curious. cheers. ann
