Trademarks have to be actively protected or they risk losing them and having the term become "generic". Unfortunately, this means shutting down the ones that benefit you as well as those that bring harm. Sure, Adobe could license the term to the site, but then they risk appearing to endorse the site and its actions which can bring negative attention to the brand if the site does something foolish. Unfortunate, yes. Necessary from a legal standpoint, sure. Customer-friendly, perhaps not. I've found that many (but certainly not all) "WTF" moves by companies have some sort of reasonable explanation if you look for it. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
