It seems like I should be able to get the product name made into a trademark. Then anyone who prints my name must mention that it is a trademark of Greg Alt Co. I have a feeling this wouldn't work, but why not? Also, I think it would be interesting to have special laws that require royalties to be paid to the names on a mailing list when it is sold. Greg
