Securing company logo to stop recipients copying.

[Judy G]

The company logo has been set up as part of 'tools/options/mail
format/stationery/background picture'. We have discovered that a client has
copied the 'background' and inserted it on a word document, proceded to
create a letter from our firm.
How do we protect or stop the logo from being copied???
We use MSOffice v2003.

You can't. Once you send the e-mail, you have no control over the use or
modification of its content, and that includes yanking anything out of it.
Also, just how are you going to stop a recipient from simply using a screen
capture program which obviously cannot be restricted by whatever limitations
are imposed within the e-mail client displaying the e-mail on the screen?
Have you contacted your company's attorney regarding legal proceedings
against identity theft and impersonation?

Thanks Vanguard
Didn't think so, but obliged to ask the question.
Yes we have taken legal proceedings and notified the police.
Cheers Judy

Logos can often easily be pilfered from web sites etc. Right click, save
as... and it's easy peasy. Take the legal route.

Vigorously pursue them in a court of law for copyright infringement.
