I even believe my own dear Alpha Phi should look into this if they are concerned.

So, its the victim's fault because committing the crime is so easy?
GLOs have the right to post their intellectual property (as do Fortune 500 companies) and expect that it not be stolen. People can steal IBM's logo very easily off the Internet, yet IBM continues to use it for whatever reasons they choose. If its used improperly, and IBM catches wind, their legal department will kick into action. The same goes for GLOs. We have the right to use our crests for brand identity, and any other reasons we want. We also have the right to expect that our intellectual property will not be stolen. I know that if someone is using our intellectual property with out permission, Phi Psi will start legal procedings, and that's the way it should be.
