At first, iPod Monday creator Clint Curtis thought the cease-and-desist e-mail from Apple was a joke.

But Curtis quickly realized it was no laughing matter.

Apple wants the Lift, a Des Moines downtown bar, to stop using the name "iPod Monday" to describe a weekly event in which patrons share their musical tastes via their iPods.

"Please choose a name for your product that is consistent with Apple's guidelines (that does not include iPod or any other Apple trademark or variation thereon)," reads a letter from Apple representative Pete Alcorn to Curtis. The e-mail refers to the event's Web site, www.ipodmonday.com, and related podcasts and online broadcasts.

      what a retarded thing to do - they guy's generating free product advertising for them on a weekly basis and they want to shut him down?

      There's a church billboard in Auckland advertising podcast sermons, with an ipod like image of a preacher figure, with the catch slogan "iGod - podcast at 11am" - i wonder if Apple intends to sue God next?
