Een paar dagen geleden stuurde ik Al Lowe, geestelijk vader van de game-reeks Leisure Suit Larry met de vraag of het een probleem is om Ken Sent Me als bedrijfsnaam te gebruiken. Vandaag kwam een antwoord.
Mijn mail:
Dear mr. Lowe,
I've been a fan of the Leisure Suit Larry series for years, ever since
the first episode. That's why i have been using a nickname referring
to the game on many different websites. First it was LeisureSuitLarry
and after Magna Cum Laude came out i changed it to KenSentMe. By now
i'm using it also as a professional (i'm a Dutch journalist) and
people on Twitter know me by the name KenSentMe.
I was wondering if there would be a problem (with you or Sierra) if i
start using KenSentMe as a company name? I could have just started
using the name and you would probably have never heard of it, but i
thought it would be better to just ask before acting. Just in case my
company will be the new Vivendi Universal ;) That's why i'm sending
you this e-mail.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van de Nieuwenhof aka KenSentMe
