There's another problem, with the net. The company may not be aware of the mis-use of their logo. It's not on a brick and mortar building. It's delivered to individuals. It can also be put up and taken down rapidly. So, someone can mount an attack with misuse of a logo, run the attack for a short time, and then drop use of that logo before the company that owns it ever sees the misuse. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Carl M.
