I once got a snail mail notice that one of my songs' titles was infringing on a trademark. The business sending the letter offered to "forgive" the "infringement" for a one-time payment of four thousand dollars and threatened to refer the matter to their lawyers if I didn't pay up. The obvious tip-off, even had I been ignorant of legal specifics, was the threat to refer the matter to their lawyers - in a real infringement case I would have received a letter *from* the lawyers. I thought of explaining them that *titles* of creative works are not covered by either copyright or trademark, but then I realized they already knew that. So I briefly considered composing a letter consisting of "Hahahahahahah..." covering an entire page. But in the end I just decided to ignore them as not being worth the effort. That was around six years ago, IIRC, and the song's still on my web site. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
