: You don't have to be selling something to infringe a trademark or
: copyright.

I understand that; if I would be making scans or otherwise copy some
copyrighted material, for instance from another photographer, and publish
these on my site, I would be violating copyrights and possibly damage the
photographer's income, even when my site is for free.

My site however, although intended as a virtual encyclopedia of the OM
System for end users or collectors, can also be used as an online catalogue
(albeit w/o an ordering mechanism) which can possibly _increase_ Oly's
income and in no way diminish it. If they sue me it can only be because I'm
helping to keep the interest alive in a system they want to ditch.
