A web site could be called "wesellfordparts.com" without problem, I think .. yoyu're certainly not "not allowed" to "even mention" a trademark on a communication. You just need a disclaimer. Example, at http://bananagold.com, e-gold(r), Amazon(r), and numerous other trademarks are mentioned freely -- in all cases there's the usual legal disclaimer at the bottom that they remain trademarks of corporations. I don't see that using it in the domain address (or say the page header) is very different. ----------------------------------------------------------- "A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul." -- George Bernard Shaw --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
