[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6052850, member: 1"] I dunno. Gail Gygax says "Gary Gygax" is a trademark. So's "Morrus", if I decide it is. Whether it's [I]registered[/I] or not is just protection. I don't know whether "Gary Gygax" is registered, but nobody's actually used it so that's kinda moot. But they have used "TSR" (indeed, not "TSR Games", their new company, but "TSR") right next to "Gygax" which did create an impression with me. Well, with me it set off alarm bells, because I'm knowledgeable, and I wanted to know what was going on (and I was delighted to find it was all above board) but with some guy wandering into a game store and seeing it on a shelf? Who knows. That's why we have lawyers, I guess. I'm very pleased to hear that the Gygax family (if not the Gygax Estate) is involved. But [I]damn[/I]. They did the online equivalent of going into a bank dressed in a striped shirt and a mask and a bag labelled "swag" and then just meekly asking to open an account. That website looked as suspicious as it's possible to make a website. Why the [I]heck[/I] didn't they just put a note at the bottom saying "Luke and Ernie Gygax have bought the TSR trademark"? Well, the alternative is that it was very clever! [/QUOTE]
