Generally speaking, two wrongs don't make a right.

That is, other infringers do not justify legitimate businesses getting on the infringement bandwagon. They only make it more like shooting fish in a barrel.

It is true that NFL Properties are a popular target, however the NFL and NFL Properties have not hesitated to seek injunctive and monetary relief against those who use famous NFL marks online without permission. See e.g., NFL v. Miller 99-CV 11846 (S.D.N.Y. June 2000); NFL v. Groover 00-CV-5757 (GEL) (S.D.N.Y. 2000); Collegiate Licensing CO. et.al v. Onsite Solutions Inc. 00 Civ 77 (S.D.N.Y. 2000)

Many other "offline" cases have had the same result - (see: NFL v. New Jersey Giants, Inc. 637 F.Supp. 07 (DNJ 1986); NFL v. Wichita Falls Sportswear, Inc. 532 F.Supp 651 (WD Wash 1982) )

If you want to turn in the offenders to the NFL, you can write to their counsel at NFL Proerties, Inc. - 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017.

If you need assistance in obtaining a license (permission) to use their marks, we may be able to help. Come visit us at www.brandXperts.com or at www.infringementonline.com.

Good Luck and God Bless American Football!
