But if we fail to defend we could lose the exclusivity that trademark protection provide.
The big question is the level of priority assigned to this fight. The wheels of justice grind slowly. The best way to watch the progress is to check back ontheir web site from time to time and see if it is still on Myspace.

We all know this group of people is profiting from our copyrighted images.
However, is it really a big enough matter to have IHQ spend time, money, and energy deliberating over? Is a small-time band who will probably not get very far, who is using our coat of arms for a 'small' profit a big enough deal for such a hassel to be made? I have to side with PiLambda1 on this. My answer is no, it is not.
I would much rather see our manpower and resources be pooled for more pressing and potentially long term issues.
