WORLD SERVICES at  the request of AAWS has taken actions toward the infringement of the mis-use of the  Alcoholics Anonymous "words" used in the "Title" portion of items up for bid on e-bay by notifying e-bay of the violation of the mis-use.  thus e-bay has had to  take action against violators "reported" by having items/auction cancelled. This has been done along with a notification of "permanent suspension" by e-bay if further incidents/violations occur. Thus many have had to change their listings so they would "not" infringe on copyright/trademark/etc laws. They have done this by  "not" using the words Alcoholics Anonymous in the "title" portion of items  which "are not" actually printed/published/distributed/etc by Alcoholics Anonymous ***I CONCUR that many items currently and previously on e-bay should not have the name Alcoholics Anonymous associated with them  as it does give appearance that Alcoholics Anonymous is affiliated with that item or endorsed by Alcoholics Anonymous (which they are not nor have been).  Alcoholics Anonymous is not  currently affiliated with any other "organization/etc" PLEASE read Tradition Six!  ..So please use search "title and description" using keywords or just the word "alcoholics" for a larger selection of available items if you are interested in this type of memorabilia  **THIS COULD MAKE A NICE GIFT OR ADDITION TO AN Alcoholics Anonymous memorabilia COLLECTION.....pete   THIS IS THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER "LIBERTY" MAGAZINE...IT IS MENTIONED IN "AA COMES OF AGE" SEVERAL TIMES.
