    No worries, its just that Google is indeed one of the most famous examples of companies that DO go after people infringing their TM.
    And yeah, they do a whole lot of evil just not in that direction ;)

    Here's the deal with all of these infringing sites: Google will not chase them until they become very successful and get on their radar screen. There is no need to shut down an infringing site when no one (relatively speaking) is going there. Google's attorneys are not idiots and will wait until the infringing website is worthwhile to go after. So, as long as you are an unsuccessful, infringing website, you can continue to work and invest in it all that you want in the hopes that it becomes something big. Of course, if it does take off, that is when Google will step in and you will discover that you have wasted your time and efforts as they take it all away from you. We "haters" here in the above thread were simply trying to prevent a business newbie from going down that fruitless path.

    Dude just because Shawn didn't send your ass a DMCA notice for getting a DP tattoo doesn't mean it can't happen.
