I know that we have some pretty brutal Lawyers, and that we can access a whole array of champ Lawyers, and that we can also afford them. Marketa is a common name. Koika, for example, is undergoing a trademark registration, but it's hard, because it's a common name. Why a trademark? Because we made up that name for her, and then it became used commonly by other sites, to get our traffic. You know, AdultFriendFinder's affiliates are buying MET ART as keyword, and we do nothing. We're here to make a good product, and something that affiliates can promote well, we're not here to file lawsuits. If we were in that business, it would be a good living too these days, since all our photos are filed with the US Copyright office, and are infringed daily, and I really mean everyday. Months ago we found a site that had 30,000 of our photos. EMule has a gazillion of our content, etc. Our photos are sold on Ebay in 3 continents by common people. We usually just send an email, asking to remove them, and we never went further than sending a DMCA notice. It always worked fine. Seriously, Who's perfect, and never made a mistake? I think that it's bad Karma, and I prefer to stay away from it.
