Super Bowl Copyright & Trademark Infringement; An Advertiser's Gameplan

It's that time of year again, so grab some chips and dip and a beer (or two) and head to the big screen (but not too big) for "The Big Game."

Clearly it's been tweaked a little since we use paper and ink nowadays. But nonetheless it's old.
