Using the term "The Villages"
Apparently "The Villages" have put legal pressure on some people who use the expression "The Villages" for business purposes. As many of you know, our Begonia in Gilchrist is up for sale. Since we felt the added cost of a commission would make our house prohibitively expensive, we have been trying to sell it ourselves. One of the many places we posted an add was with thevillagesFSBO. They have decided to change their name to avoid a costly legal battle. Does this also mean that anyplace that continues to have the expression "The Villages" in their title (like TOTV) is owned by The Villages? If not, why are some exempt from the pressure to cease and desist using "The Villages" terminology while others are not?
