Then the website will gain viral growth and thus promote Canon products better than any little ad spot could do. If anyone at Canon is reading this... oh wait, that's obviously not the case since they don't seem to know what the internet is.Bryanhttp://www.photographyfeeder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-48646343942058885442008-08-28T08:23:00.000-07:002008-08-28T08:23:00.000-07:00Et tu, Canon?groovehousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13926563112053443801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-60851465271831592008-08-28T08:22:00.000-07:002008-08-28T08:22:00.000-07:00It's most likely due to trademark law - if you don't make a show of protecting your right to use your name, etc, then you lose your claim to it. Those laws really need a rewrite.Thraehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07625321950561549995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-86862974798542851602008-08-28T06:52:00.000-07:002008-08-28T06:52:00.000-07:00Shame on Canon!

I've worked for national telcos and those people have absolutely zero clue when it comes to things like that... and you can't possibly expect an immovable object like Canon to be any smarter than a telco.<BR/><BR/>Legal departments aren't blind to anything, they just simply execute orders. Funny thing is, people who do the actual work at those companies do understand most of the time that the company is run by idiots.Alex Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05275496869003815206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-14713382925983797032008-08-27T22:52:00.000-07:002008-08-27T22:52:00.000-07:00I agree that the legal departments are sometime blind to other implications (cf. Apple and their closing down rumour sites). I hope this is settled in a reasonable manner.Juha Haatajahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.com
