I didn't need to register the copyright I hold on that logo, which is automatically mine as of the day I published it, and thanks to the MPAA will belong to my children when I'm safely dead. KCLUG has a license from me to use my copyrighted work, but ITEC 2007 does not.
If they give us a free booth and electricity, I'll give my permission, and they won't be violating my copyright. Just have to wait until they've got it in print and it's too much of a PITA to just take off the website.

Well, now, assuming the artiste had the presence of mind to register the trademark, we can negotiate. I would say that we should shoot for about double the fee they want to charge us, and settle for the fee + 50%. Woot! A budget!
