All you had to do was ask for the wording of their copyright... It MUST be listed in the either their copyright or TM to be legit.. Most companies use scare tactics that are not ethical... Seems you got the short end of a bogus stick to me... Either way, its better to be safe then sorry... I only know because a friend who made soft plastics was sued by the company that makes those "toads that are ready for some action", if you know what I mean, for copy right infringement... You can not copyright anything which does not make it distinct... Examples: ANY ANIMAL... Snakes, Frogs whatever... its the distinction that makes the copyright legitimate... Like that guy who screams "Let's get ready to...." before the boxing matches... because it is distinct and everyone knows its his SCHTICK hes allowed to copyright it, and he vigorously defends it... Seems silly to me, unless you are using it for profit, or in malice to belittle their name or product... Oh, by the way, this is my first post! THanks to: B75nweav for turning me onto this site...
