Wikipedia claims the right to use our logo under "fair use".
They claim that it is "low resolution", while the resolution is the same as here on the page. They also claim that "The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image." As they use the logo in their article that is written with a conflict of interest and criticises us (or at least did in the past), it is used to misrepresent us. On it goes, [...]assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization[...] Do you think it is time to open a file deletion debate over the obvious copyright infringement of our logo? |

Web Fred has a point, the "logo" is really just a typeface with a generic white hat.

So whomever suggests a take down notice for the WR logo, I should point out that the shoe is really on the other foot. And the other guy has more money! |
