: : No - it's not an intellectual exercise... as the owner of a discussion board, I have received a letter from another website stating I must remove a certain person's screen name because it added "girl" to what is their website... which is ridiculous. That's why I'm wondering (before I take non-action) how far they can say their name reaches. In this case, if I were to add the word "ball" to their website name - it brings up another, totally separate website - I'm sure they could not tell those people to cease and desist. : : This is not yet a legal matter, and I don't want it to be... but I'm not just going to stand-down when I'm not sure they have the right to tell me to. : Dear Josi, : There are black and white answers they, don't cost me time. I don't fully understand what your problem is. If copyright is involved it could be more serious. What is more you may be able to be bullied by false claims. : I'd have to spend office time to handle this one. : M.
