All they had to do was not use the NRA name and logo and call it something else like the MRA - 'Murican Rifle Association. Then it would have solely been a parody with no trademark infringement and no legal authority on the part of the real NRA.
- djsumdog 10y agoThat's not really the issue. If anything, that's for a court battle to decide. The issue is that DO took down Surge's entire company, without a DMCA complaint, and with misleading Surge (see the founder's comment). We're not even aware of what type of complaint this was. Cease and desist? That's an angry bullshit letter that holds no legal weight. If DO buckled over something stupid like that, and mislead Surge as to the nature of notice and the window of response; well that's just a shitty provider. I wouldn't use them for anything if that's all true.
