"...any real-world group or organization..." Can't group or organization be absolutely anything? From shipping company to a terrorist cell?
In that case you can put absolutely any name of any corporation into google and find a RL link to it.
"Gentec, a world-class supplier of spring probes & rigid pins for all types of automatic equipment for testing of bare and loaded printed circuits." There goes our corporation eh.
Since SAS isn't really a word (except for eagle), you guys should come up with an original meaning for it and present it to GMs.

Doesnt the word "eve" has some religious roots in christianism history and dogma?
And well, it seems I ll have to rename my ship since "USS Ticonderoga" aint politically correct and HMS Concordia and Tiger's Claw are copyrighted.

This is all kind of nuts tbh.
Why single out SAS and 4S?
Lots of corps in the game have either A: offensive names or what people might see as offensive or B: Corp tickers that are offensive.
I am Irish...So how do I feel about Imortal Red Army Corp Ticker IRA...... I feel nothing and see it as a game and really dont care about names.
I remember reading in the Eula before that you could not use the names of Real world companies ect in the game, then I seen a Corp called Atari and said to myself wonder if they know its againest the eula to use the name? They were part of CFS at the time as was I after talking to them and getting to know them it turned out there CEO and all there members all worked in guess where? yes thats right Atari! So as a matter of pride in there company they called there corp Atari! whats the problem?
4S called there corp after a slogan from guess where...there country again a symbol of pride for them! again whats the problem.
SAS..Special Air Service. ok its really obvious that SAS stands for that look at the sigs they use who dares wins the motto of the SAS. Again a military organisation but really who cares?
In keeping with this we will have to ban all Ranger Corps or names as Rangers are a military organisation or branch, US rangers, Irish Rangers, am sure there are more rangers.
We have in Eve Corps called SS empire!! corp tickers like IRA and SS Because they are not major forum players most people do not know of them, anyone with afew mins to type random RL stuff into the corp serch and ticker serch will come up with all manner of Offensive and not politically correct crap, but all these corps and people will be safe enough unless they come on the forums where they say the wrong thing and someone takes offense.
This Crap has got to stop, I am getting the feeling we are playing on the chinese server already...the goverment does not want you to see that!! the goverment is doing this because it knows whats best, hell we are all grown ups here and obey the forum rules most of the time but all this new clamping down on corps that are 2.5 years old stinks of a witch hunt! what is CCP doing? I get the feeling of they are cleaning up the eve Cluster to show it off to the chinese Goverment and removing anything from it that they might find offensive or wrong for the people
At least a Answer from the GM's or Devs on this new stuff should be fortcoming or is the whole "power to the players" speech a marketing ploy? Sure sounds like it..no answers and silence..its like the end of the movie sphere!!...lets just forget!
2 high profile Corporations names changed in a week!! both sited as offensive or some crap like that. All I say is grow thicker skin to whoever is behind it.
BTW ASUYA stands for A Shotgun up your ass! be offended.

i'll rephrase instead of doing multiple quotes.
Yes BL the EULA isnt decisive enough. Which leads to exactly what I said, that if somebody thinks and finds for example Bob to be offensive, they can banz0r it.
4S DB is an example, where the members and founders of 4S says "it means this to us" (like you and others have said), while they still got the namechange because somebody else found enough 'evidence' that 4S could be something offensive to some people, this being the EULA-breaching part.

*relaxes in the knowledge that corp name's really only a noun*
Your name is linked to a unit in the american army as well as been the name for project in the military. I guess that signifys links to real life military.
This is just plain stupid. I guess my old corp KIA will lose their name for been linked to cars despite the fact it really means "KillerZ in Action" and predates the stupidly named car.
How about we look at some alliance names:
I guess red alliance will lose their name as that is linked to a military organisation.
Phoenix - Linked to the Phoenix military acadamy.
NOARD - www.norad.mil can't get any more linked than that to real life military
IRON - Refers to the US lead operation in Iraq.
Arcane Technolgies - this is also the name of a real world group although none military, still falls under the "real world Group" clause.
Thats just off the top of my head, I'm sure if I logged into eve to find a number of corp names I could easily fine links to a vast majority to real life.
Why do you change a name becuase of one or two complaints when you have 1000's of players that have played against that corp and not had a problem with the name?
Or do you really want the pre-stage to war decs to be, "lets google their corp names, alliance names and pilot names and screw as many of them out of their names as we can by petitioning" ?
Between this and project rebirth I'm beginning to wonder if the water in CCP's office has become contaminated.

No, it's about how CCP's rules govern name changes, it has nothing to do with peoples perceptions of a name.

And what do you suppose impacts those rules?

If CCP wants to play on semantics, i can spend more then 5 minutes scrolling thru CCP created NPC corp names and googling stuff and finding references to rl groups and organizations
in closing
give them their names back
sit down
and stfu

Will someone petition my name next? Or the hundrets of Daniel jacksons? Or will someone petition my corps name "Old Farts" cuz some part of it should not be used as a corp name? And why is there no reply from a forum headguy (kieron) in here yet?
Its a game and I¦m sure that the corps in question have really nothing in common with the RL one¦s.

Fell Deeds fails on the "discriminating organizations". No, I won't give details here but it's still technically existant as an organisation (hasn't DONE anything for 75 years, but...)

I'm interested to see how CCP will reimburse the people that bought domain names to create their "corp homes".
Please submit your domain hosting bills to CCP.

"Jericho Fraction"
Actually, that would escape on that one, since Jericho is not actually a religion's name. However, it'd fail on another test which I won't get into on a public forum.

WE NEED THEKILLER8 TO DOCUMENT THIS
Seriously, the 4S thing I can acutally understand a bit, take the n.a.z.i symbol, it's a religious symbol in Asia/India, it's used by native americans, it's used in scandinavian mythology and was actually the logo for Carlsberg beer before the n.a.z.i perverted it.
I highly doubt that people would be in support of allowing the Svastika into the logo generation with the excuse that because a few used it wrongly that it doesnt change how people should feel about it.
Do you feel that the Svastika is okay to wear on T-Shirts or on your corp logo? ofc. not so 4S is offencive too.
S.A.S however is a GM on [insert drug here].

DB - I did, but the association is there, whether that was your inspiration or not doesn't matter. Even so, I believe it unlikely that you would have made the alliance based purely on the verse, without Ambrose to point it out to you.
Blacklight already stated how we came up with the bob name, I guess you couldn't be bothered to read that either huh?
And if you had read my post you would have seen that according to the official line by CCP it is the real life name of the military company.
Band of Brothers is not associated with the company in real life, it is the name of a book written many years after the events of which it portrays and is indeed taken directly from Shakespeare which is, ofc, public domain.
I'm afraid you can complain all you want but we are covered.
There is a massive difference between our name and naming a company 4s or SAS.
dbp
Yea, dbp. BUT. According to the webpage I'm looking at, there was a WW2 group called Reikoku. Uh-oh?

"Yes BL the EULA isnt decisive enough. Which leads to exactly what I said, that if somebody thinks and finds for example Bob to be offensive, they can banz0r it."
The problem with this being obviously, anything can be found offensive, provided enough sand and a willing... other ingredient.
Some common sense needs to apply, otherwise we can quickly spiral this into absurd.

Band of brothers, ISS, Oracle Corp and many other names currently residing in in EVE has real world counterparts.
Even CCP has problems in that field, because many of their own coprnames are derived or can be found in the real world look at this
Amarr
or this
Caldari
The list goes on
Pator
hehe hope CCP has a copyright
CCP
Never knew these guys also made software, they are smart
Concord
Pirate orgs, make rl money
Serpentis
And finally " Mordus legion" google it and you if your good at french you will find, that it was part of the French legion figthing in the Sahara, they where accused of warcrimes and crimes against humanity, but hey this is only a game right CCP
