I have a few mail art ideas. Watch your postbox you should be getting something from me soon. Oh, yes even doodles are trademarked take a look at Zentangles.

You think of all the symbols that are now 'owned' in the world. I really thought it was just an innocuous little group, but I guess it gives us validation. I would think they would be flattered too, but no. Taidgh, I think I might hijack your name so let me know if you protest this action:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183017147446735670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882801980343858491.post-5760650427222959982012-12-10T02:22:36.405-08:002012-12-10T02:22:36.405-08:00I like the way they went about it Diane!

Joining IUOMA specifically to address the situation was amusing as was the seriousness of the letter. If anything you have given the MOBA greater publicity and promotion with links to their site and with members like myself checking out their images, history and shop. They should be thanking you. While I get that it is their lively hood I think some people just need to chill out. <br /><br />I had a similar situation, a few years back, with my local camera club unknowingly naming the club the same as a registered business. We received quite a few letters threatening legal action. So we had to change it, but we were upset not in having to change it but in the way in which we were accused of robbing someone's lively hood and how much of a threat we had unintentionally become. <br /><br />Keep up your Bad Mail Art journey. And maybe it would be wise if you trademarked your own name too :P Taidgh Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907702333874305129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882801980343858491.post-71600120615042448992012-12-09T12:34:05.206-08:002012-12-09T12:34:05.206-08:00Very funny and also irritates me when people fight...Very funny and also irritates me when people fight to own things like this.
