@ray I'm not saying it isn't legal, I'm saying it's pretty screwed up on their part and in this ecomomy were it is pretty important to keep every customer you can they are sure crappin a lot in their bed lately.
If they were so concerned with this then why have they let that site run for 3 yrs with that name and spend all that $$ marketing it and now suddenly they decide they can't do it? come on now that's BS. If they were so concerned they would have sent out cease letters to every site that has one of their trademark names in the url 5 seconds after they acquired MM. Like the comment below states, they have been letting hundreds if not thousands of sites run with it all these years @ whomever this is "All done repeating myself. Good luck" Again I wasn't asking if it was legal or not or if they do or don't have the right, I was saying in this circumstance (and seemingly a lot lately) they are angering the people who keep them afloat over a site which actually promotes flash. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/18/adobe-to-envato-flash-is-ours-change-your-name/ >Its fairly easy to invalidate a trademark if in the court case the >defendant can show that the company did not adequately defend the >trademark.
