Of course it is mark. But thats not the point, from my perspective its just another networking and promotional tool.

And when did you discover that the internet was for morons? Thats shocking :roll:

"Yeah Myspace is great! You get your own page, with information and everything!"

"What, like the internet?"

"Yeah, but you can find loads of cool people with it!"

"What, like the internet?"

"Well, yeah, but you can put pictures on it and videos and stuff..."

"What like the internet?"

Tom sold myspace to MSN?, so he is now the ghost in the machine...

as to the original post, i have dont some research here in the states and what i have found is.

1. you have priority if you ahve played a city before another with the same name. who plays it first gets to use thier name there.

2. you can get a service mark, meaning you and only you can use the name in the US. this cost around $300 US for three or five years.

3. in the industry using a name that sounds like the name you use is not allowed. an example synnister, sinnister. phonetically the same = no no.

after that, it is all about writing them with a nice statement and putting the pressure, quote the law, then ask for a cease and desist....if it works great, if not then not much you can do, but most people will do it if it looks like you have beat them to the punch and know way more than they do.

basic US law...just act like you know more and bluff your way to get what you want. (or something along those lines.)

hope that helps
