That's quite the list! I can see why most of them are on there. I wonder if I made my own stuffed animal if there would still be trouble...

Ayers Rock: Religious - not allowed.

Huh. 

What's with the smiley face...there's a bunch right above this text box. Does that mean they can't be used any more on stock sites. There a dozens of variations of smiley faces. Some of their definitions are a bit confusing

Marmalade? (It's a generic 'orange jam' for those not from the UK).

Total waste of time uploading there anyway. Copyright is not much of an issue for an agency that sells so few images.

canadian government has copywrite over the design of their coins, and have apparently defended it in the past.

There appears to be no iconic photos of uluru (Ayres Rock) on the Shutterstock or Istock so something must have gone down regarding it recently. There are some on Dreamstime and some on Getty images which say "no release but release may be necessary."

permit required for commericial photography within the park.

Uluru has been in the news of late regarding tourist climbing the rock and the traditional owners not wanting them to do it because of the religious significance of site.

I believe the creator, whomever or whatever you believe that may be, has the rights to the planet and it's natural rocks. Any copyright probably expired over 65 million years ago. 

well, i know you cannot use Apple because Apple and Macintosh own it , even though it was actually adam and eve who hold the copyright to "apple", and Mac themselves committed an IP theft by calling it their own  . i tried goggling adam and eve to inform them of this, but i don't think they've updated their computer , or maybe eden's IP (internet provider) has been struck by a worm (argh, bad pun).

also, the Queen on the face of the quid coin and canucks' ought to know better. the crown jewels on her head really belongs to india, africa,etc...  if anyone knows about theft, she would, 

also, the sky behind the canadian dollars and other currency, also has an IP (intellectual property) owner.
if i last checked, i don't think , as Race calls it ... the Creator , did not sell his sky RF, so many someone should inform the dudes who print currencies that they too are infringing on someone's IP   

 Race is right...  ..."BS... don't get me started"...

p.s.
i just heard through the grapevine that SPCA and Animal Rights Movement are also coming up with their list. one word "*" that porn sites cannot use, as it's both demeaning to women, and more importantly, insulting to felines. my cats just asked me to witness their petition.
 

I'm not surprised by any of these. Over all they did a really good job of describing what they meant. If you click on "example" under the word Apple you will see that it takes you to a page with an I Mac - so they were obviously talking about the computer company not the fruit.

What's going to be interesting is seeing how much more the list grows as they find other problem words and how they deal with the massive purge they will have to do to meet compliance.
