It is perfectly legal to use the logo of another company if it is your intention to simply identify that particular company. For example if I wanted to say “Nike sucks” or offer a review, critique etc. Such usage is regarded as ‘fair use’ because it serves no commercial purposes. You cannot, however, use that same logo to generate any form of association with Nike. For example you cannot brand and try and sell a pair of sneakers with the tick, like 90% of the Nikes in Thailand.

Gordon Parker tried to sue Google for indexing and providing excerpts from his book in the search results. The judge ruled in favor of Google saying, “When an ISP automatically and temporarily stores data without human intervention so that the system can operate and transmit data to its users, the necessary element of volition (willful intent to infringe) is missing.” [B.

An interesting notion where the law can be broken by machines. Cool.
