The letter

Comments[0] by Dave in Roller

Below is the email that Weblogger.COM sent to me.  As far as I can tell, these guys do not own the word 'weblogger' and therefore do not have a case, but I am still researching this and looking into free legal resources.

Hello, my name is Erin Clerico and I own Weblogger:
http://www.weblogger.com

You have selected a name for your product, 'RollerWeblogger', which is too close to our Copyrighted name: 'Weblogger.' Since your product closely resembles our service offerings I must ask you to stop using this name immediately.

We have used this name to market our services for years, I would be more than happy to have our attorney contact you if you have any questions about our rights to this name in this market space.

I look forward to your prompt reply on this matter.

Respectfully yours

Erin Clerico
