---- Using another Company's Name on my Site

Hi,

I have a site about car rentals and I have pages that are optimized for all the major firms. I make my money from adsense.

Today I got an email from one car rental company telling me that I either had to remove all references to their company or make them all into hot links to their site.
The letter ended by saying that if I didn't comply in 30 days the matter would be sent to their legal department.

I could almost understand if they asked me to remove the references to their company, but that they were okay with them if I linked to their company site, seemed a bit tacky to me.

I'd love to hear if anyone else has had experience like this. I assumed that it was fine to use a company name on my site, but maybe that is naive?

Thanks for any ideas or thoughts.

Jon
