McVictory

Noah talks to Allan Pedersen, who runs a hotdog stand called McAllan in Jutland, Denmark. Pedersen was sued by McDonald's for copyright infringement for using the "Mc" prefix on the name of his business. Denmark's Supreme Court ruled that he did not infringe upon McDonald's right to the prefix. This is one of several trademark lawsuits McDonald's has brought against other businesses worldwide.
