I don't think my lawyer is an expert in trademark law but I'll ask him tomorrow for his opinion. My guess is he says "what's the big deal about taking the name off". As I told Business Wire, our little group is not one to be intimidated and more likely to fight than switch, but I'll ask. Maybe we should just all change our names instead and take up a "safe" hobby like gardening. At least the pay is the same... double zero! As for having paid for the release and the account, which we did, BW says that doesn't give us the right to put the actual release up on our web site. I suppose we'd have to pay for that right as well. This brings up an interesting point: does BW care that their PRs are plastered all over SI? I'm sure the issuers love it as the idea is to get the word out to as many people as possible, but is BW essentially looking the other way unless they wish otherwise? Or does SI pay BW to allow their PRs posted here? - Jeff
