Seattle Weekly has an interesting write-up about those signs you see posted at downtown restaurants claiming titles like "Best of Citysearch." It seems you can easily buy one. A Colorado-based company called "In the Spotlight" sells window decals and banners emblazoned with positive reviews from Citysearch, AOL City Guide and Zagat. But they don't differentiate between quotes from actual critics who work for the Web sites and comments left by anonymous readers. What's more, they don't have permission from the Web sites, and lawyers are alleging both copyright and trademark infringement.
