Dear Mr Cahalan,
It has come to my employer's attention that you have begun operating a website by the name of "View and Play". I have been asked to make you aware that the name "View and Play" is a registered trademark of IBM Corporation in the United States of America, Europe and Japan, and therefore cannot be used as the name of any publication or product in any of these countries without prior permission.
However, as your website appears to be a small personal affair, IBM Corporation are willing to overlook your illegal use of their trademark on this occasion, on
the condition that you place the words "'View and Play' is a registered trademark of IBM Corporation and is used under license. This website is not associated with or endorsed by IBM Corporation." in a visible place on every
user-accessible page of your website. Furthermore, you may not make any attempt to give the impression that you are in any way affiliated with IBM Corporation.
I hope you will co-operate with these conditions and that legal action will be unnecessary. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and
I will make every attempt to assist you.
Yours Sincerely,
Marcus Sampson
Head Clerk, Ferguson and Walsh Legal Services
Take on IBM? Or do what they say?

Hmmmmm. Jail or loose dignity?
Tough.
