The thing is, it will never come to court because the TM movement is terrified that it would *lose* in a court case. There have been *dozens* of legal precedents of companies trying to 'recertify' its sales representatives to get more money from them without actually giveing them any new training or products to sell, and every one of them tends to lose in court, for obvious reasons. copyright law is one thing; an obvious attempt to extort money from your own employees is another. Courts and judges are human, and can see past an obvious greed-scam. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.
