Chris Kerrigan Even though there are other things called GCW (my site name) would it still be ok to put this: "©2004 GCW. GCW is a registered trademark of Global Championship Wrestling, Inc.

TK-7771 As long as it really is a registered trademark you will be fine. Copyright law is very tricky. Especially when it comes to copyrighted names.

Dave the only copyright you own in a site is the text. but te text is all made by exco, so the copyright you own is the posts. so but something like "Content © TNA"..

sdn TK: you can get around that. If it's not a registered trademark but you still want to it to be protected, label it with a ™ (alt+0153).
