>he asked them to stop According to the article, he did not ask, he had his attorneys send a letter demanding they stop using his name, which isn't quite the same. That's something you do after you did ask politely and were rejected and lost hope you can resolve such an issue amicably. I am not saying the people working for Apple were right, or that their reaction was right, but Sagan does not look good to me either in his initial reaction.

>> That's something you do after you did ask politely Not necessarily. With famous people you won't get a polite note or phonecall. Your first and only contact will probably be their lawyer/agent who will stamp out a standard threatening letter. The actual flesh-and-blood person might not even know that the letter is being sent as the attorney/agent has power to initiate actions. Same too for huge corporations. Open up "Mickey Mouse Land" and your first contact from Disney will be a very scary demand letter delivered by a man in a very nice suit.
