Here's another real-life adventure in the realm of copyright names. When the
Olympic games were courted for an appearance here in Seattle, they explained
that no business in the area could use the term "Olympic" in it's name whlie
they were here. Well, our very visible Olympic mountain range has spawned
countless businesses with the name, and it's not likely that they were going to
change. Of course, it all became moot when the IOC turned Seattle down.

our lawyers."
