This is were the problem is. What if I have a magazine about actual windows. Then one day, or everyday, I put computer related ads. What will happen?
Probably nothing. The worst it would happen is that microsoft will ask to remove the ads or maybe sue for damages. They can't come and take your whole business with an out of court arbitration process. Damages will probably be pennies compared to the value of the magazine.
