Its some time ago that i blogged the abuse of my name in a google adsense campaign. This was a easy case, cause the guy was located in germany.
Now i figured out that jam software ( a competitor ) is using our registered trademark visendo as adword. For me its complicated to handle this in a correct matter. So i have written to google a email with the facts and to delete the Ad.
Google writes me back, that i must send a signed letter. WHAT?!
Hey google. i dont have broken the law, your business model is based on that and you guys get the profit!
