Ok, this morning, when I signed on to check my email, I was surpised to find this email in my inbox... it is as follows:
" From:
"chip" <chip@bionicmonkey.com>

<Jake@bionicmonkey.co.uk>
Subject :
site name

Hello Jake,
My name is Chip Sbrogna, President and Co-Founder of BionicMonkey
Studios. Unfortunately, we copyrighted the name back in the year 2000 and
since we're a new but established Limited Licensing Company (LLC) we can't
have another site using our name. Now, I noticed from your site that you're
a student, so I decided to send a friendly email rather than pass the issue
off to our lawyers in the hopes that we can quickly resolve this without a
problem. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I have to ask you to rename your
site, and to do it quickly. Please reply within 48 hours to let me know
that this is indeed your first priority with all matters relating to the use
of the name "BionicMonkey". Otherwise, I'll be forced to forward this
matter to our attorneys.
Thanks for your cooperation, Jake.
Sincerely,
Ralph (chip) Sbrogna
President/Co-Founder
BionicMonkey Studios
http://www.BionicMonkey.com"
Has anybody got any ideas on where i stand or any places where I can get information on where I stand?... I have replied saying that I would stop using the name, but if I do, I want to know that they are standing on good ground and have good argument to the name. Thanks
