|  #1 Posted on 20.4.04 1315.25 | Instant Rating: 6.15 | This is a pretty random question, but I simply must know every single detail of WWE television. Has something changed recently on the end-of-show copyright notice on WWE TV in the last few weeks? I caught it at the 10:00 hour of Raw last night and something looked different, but I couldn't determine what it was. Different trademarks, maybe? Last time I noticed a difference was when they changed to WWE, so I'm wondering what changed recently. Or am I just imagining things?

| #3 Posted on 20.4.04 1350.37 | Instant Rating: 8.70 | Okay, I just looked, and yes, you're right, it has changed. For my comparison I looked at RAW from January 26, and RAW from last night. The major differences are that they removed the WWE.com logo, and they changed the text from "Copyright" to "TM and ©". The font may also be slightly different, and it may be a slightly different size.
I looked back at one from March 22, and it was already changed at that point. If you're really curious, I could look through more to figure out exactly when the change took place.

Looks like they gain some protection in non-US countries and lose a little in the US. I'm sure there's a dynamite rationale behind it, as probably provided to the WWE by some lawyer who makes way too much by the hour.
