O.P. Illegal use of the Plus! logo

I just visited the danish portal www.gratis-ting.dk when I saw some sort of popup which uses the Messenger Plus! logo ( :plus2:

Maybe they have the permisson to use it but I dont think so, i'm asking here.

The titel says "Gratis-ting.dk recommends Evind.dk". The text says "Win a luxus LCD TV from Evind.dk"

Just check www.gratis-ting.dk out, and see for yourself.

Hmm, I'm sure that Patchou won't be happy and will write them a nice long letter, the company will have to remove it, it is fully copyrighted and registered to Patchou... and Guido afaik? Unsure about that bit

They are probably unsure about it, for all we know they may have seen it on another site and thought it was just a free to use image...

Ye, I don't think that they got it off of a random website, thought it was a free image and designed the popup in the same theme as a Messenger Plus! toaster, what aa coincidence ^o)

lol. So now we just want Patchou to read this thread and do somthing about it
