I think the spots use TV footage of the teams. IOC could maybe stop that, but can't stop the use of the word Olympics.

This reminds me of all the stupid commercials that appear in January to tell us to shop at x for your party to watch "the big game" (as opposed to the Super Bowl
(TM)). Vigorous patent enforcement is really annoying sometimes.
Of course, since the campaign hasn't been deterred by the fact that neither of the "two new democracies" have held elections yet, or by the fact that the
Iraqi olympians themselves have stated their preference that Bush not run the commercial, I doubt the USOC piling on will change many minds at BC HQ.
