Thanks for the link. Since the case was dropped, I guess we can't know for certain. It looks like all pages on the parody website have been removed, though there are screenshots in the motion to dismiss. It seems like just the pages that look like fake press releases.
I generally agree with the EFF, but not in this case. Just my personal opinion, but I can see how the text of the fake press releases are parody, but not the website. The quality of the site obscures the parody. I think the Hillary Clinton article on The Onion linked above is funny. I wouldn't find it funny if it were hosted on h-clinton2016.com
The main claims were basically that the chamber of commerce parody is not a substitute for the real thing, and the parody is non-commercial. This isn't entirely the same case. This is an entire landing page made to look like a new initiative. Having a "Store coming soon" advertisements and sign up form also make this different.
