If this hasn’t already been suggested, Jeff…
I suppose you could always add the all-purpose disclaimer…stating that you are “in no way affiliated with AOL Time Warner” and blah blah blah. Under these useful terms, they can’t touch you. AOL is always looking to rip people off…it seems AIM is all they’re realy good for. Keep in touch with your lawyer, even if it costs a couple hundred $ for his/her counsel…or would you perhaps enjoy a lawsuit? Besides, I believe you are entitled to use the AIM icon, under the condition that you include the copyright symbol. If this is possible (unsure if it’s legal), no one will notice. You can make those things damn small.
