An Update on the International Olympic Committeeâs Threatening Letter to Flickr User Richard Giles

,----[ Quote ]
| Among other things, the IOC noted that 
| âany reproduction and distribution of 
| images of the Olympic Games and IOC 
| identifications by any means, including 
| over the World Wide Web, without the 
| consent of the IOC is unauthorized.â They 
| further claimed ownership over the Olympic 
| rings and actually over the word 
| âOlympics,â itself. Perhaps most offensive 
| to me personally, the IOC had written in 
| their heavy handed letter to Giles that 
| any images of the Olympic Games actually 
| âbelongedâ to the IOC.

,----[ Quote ]
| But for many industry executives who compete with Microsoft, the worldâs
| largest software company, the Silverlight strategy recalls a federal
| antitrust case in which Microsoft was found guilty of using its market muscle
| to stifle competition from the Web.
