Just a FYI.

Due to trademark infringment you can NOT call this game USO you have
to call it something else. But the "USO" is trademarked by United
Service Organization. At least so this non-profit organizations law
firm is claiming.

We received a letter from their lawyers today demanding that we remove
the reference to "USO" located on Bad Girls USO webpage.
They also wanted us to sign that we would not use this term on our
webpages in the future.

This was sent to us because the domain in question fament.com is
registered to us so they just did the easy and send the information
direct to us.
We have taken the pages offline for right now so if you go to
tradewars.fament.com/guardian and try to visit the USO pages.
Pages will be down until we know what exact legal grounds they
have or if this is just a scare tactic. FEN do not have the funds to
do any legal gamble on behalf of Bad Girl and Guardian.

If anyone have contact with Renato anylonger then please send him word
that I would like to ask him a few quick questions.
