If they were olympic sponsors they would be demanding that he removed the letters "J" and "D" from anywhere they appear in the text of the book

I've trademarked vowels, I intend to sue J.K. Rowling, and all major authors for every AEIOU and occasional Y used. I figure it could be worth millions per novel.

The new laws introduced for the OxxxxxxxICS are ridiculous - it's now a criminal offence to use:

..any two of the following: Games, 2012, Two Thousand and Twelve Twenty Twelve

Or use of any one of them alongside any mention of: gold, silver, bronze, London, medals, sponsor, sponsors

I couldn't find the criminal offense bit. Read more like civil law to me. Did I miss something?

Someone should change their name to "Olympic Games 2012 Two Thousand And Twelve Twenty Twelve Gold Silver Bronze London Medals Sponsor Sponsors Mister Smith", or "Olympic Games Sponsors Mister Smith" for short. Then set up a burger van in collaboration with the Clan MacDonald, somewhere in central London.
