Remember not too long ago when VWoA sent legal letters to loads of people running VW web sites that they needed stop using certain brand names as it was causing confusion.. Or some other similar ownership battle regarding the use of brand names such as "Beetle", "Volkswagen", etc..

If Mike Rowe benefits in the deal, all the best to him.. Yeah, it's bull, but if M$ is nice about it, that's a great change in that conglomerate's Darth Vader attitude.

I remember this one story (don't know if it's true), that M$ tried to buy a small software company that owned rights to certain video compression routines so M$ could force RealNetworks into giving away their RealPlayer in a forced manner which used those routines. Or something similarly take-overish.
