Your previous comment implied that there had to be a financial benefit to merit a suit and I was trying to point out that is not the case. Granted, it was a poor example as copyright is very different from trademark.

The only example I can think of where a blatant trademark infringement is permissible is in the case of satire - and even then, it's a single time thing.
