    I would say it is probably nothing.

    Buttlight,

    Technically, using logos and tradenames, or plays on trade names, such as "buttlight" for "budlight" is an infringement. Companies can and do sue over this very issue. As long as you are not profiting from such use, however, and your use is not degrading to their product, then they likely appreciate the free advertisement you are giving them. Nonetheless, you should e-mail them or write a letter, and ask permission to make non-commercial use of their images and product name. Assure them it is not for profit, but for your personal web page. Also, let them know that you enjoy their product and its images, and feel that they enhance your personal web site. In the meantime, I would remove their images and name until you hear from them. If you don't hear back from them within 30 to 45-days, I would call Budweiser in St. Louis, MO.

    Thanks for all the imput. It is just a personal page, and I didnt get the image off of the Budweiser site. I googled "budlight pics" and found alot of pictures. I'm not advertising their product for sale, I just like it lol!

    IP Sec, your going to hell for your comment!

    Looking at the tracker, Im get more nervous about the names coming up!

    Keep it up? Take it down? hmmmm shall I flip a coin?

    Butt, you could take it down for a week and see if you still get visits from the local Budweiser distributor. They might even contact you to see why you've taken it down, or tell you not to put it back up.

    I think you are in trouble butt. They already have a police division ready to arrest you.

    Why anyone would want to promote an American beer, especially a light beer, is beyond me.
