Hi cypherpunks, ************************************************************************************ Please reply with subject "remove" to be removed ************************************************************************************ Every day some small business person finds them selves on the receiving end of a law suit filed by a multi-national corporation with deep pockets. They claim infringement on their trademark rights. Currently their wealth means they are winning by default. We want to make you aware of your rights so you do not find yourself in the position of being the next "someone" the big boys decide to make an example of in court. As a user of the Internet you are entitled to use your domain name, as your trademark, without fear of being sued.
