[78-L] Cameo Record Corporation

[Michael Biel]

Actually that is what my point was.  It looked like the new Columbia was 
abandoning those other names which would mean that the trademarks were 
then free for the taking.  Not a good move.  Holding onto a trademark 
would not really cost them, and it would be safer to keep something you 
had once used for product rather than risk some schlock company using it 
and perhaps pring down your reputation in the eyes of the public.
