Idiot Bastards that we are, apparently we are not worthy of an explanation from the great and powerful Bri-pril (or is that Apian?)
Knowing "WHY?" is what most of are still wondering, but it's really not worth worrying about anymore. Let them play in their sandbox. It will be sweet revenge when they find out it's really just quicksand!

Oh and by the way "Trademark Violation"??? RIGHT! You idiots couldn't afford to trademark your sites.

Just so you'll know:
Trademark - A word, phrase, slogan, design or symbol used to identify goods and distinguish them from competitive products. Trademarks may be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and similar offices worldwide. However, in the US and in other countries with legal systems based on English common law,
trademark rights also accrue through common law usage. See Service Mark.
Trademarks don't have to be registered to be valid. Registered trademarks are identified with an ®.
Now that this 'idiot' has explained trademarks to you, perhaps you could be so kind as to answer the one question these nice people have asked you: Why were they banned?

Being in the graphic design business myself, copyright and trademark ALWAYS belong solely to the creator of whatever design - including web banners, web pages, sites, etc. Only usable with permission unless the design has been sold to you without restrictions.
This is a long and very complicated subject that I HAVE researched thoroughly because of the home business I ran for over 10 years - I've condensed it a LOT and made it very basic to understand, but any and all designs ALWAYS belong exclusively to the designer until they decide to sell them. Any use without or against the designer's permission IS punishable by law.
ETA: Forgot to agree with Rat - designs do not have to be registered to be trademarked or copyrighted (2 different things totally).

Copyright is automatic in the USA... you don't have to pay for it. If you create it, you own it. Research may benefit you.
Potty mouth.

Truth you can just go f### yourself. If anyone emails me they will get reported just like you did. My email address is not a WPSSU addy and it has nothing to do with WPSSU.
Oh and by the way the banners were removed because you don't deserve free advertising
you bastard.
