Disclaimer: I once paid for three months of SEOMoz How different would this thread be if it were Google, Microsoft, Salesforce or some billion dollar company that decided to launch an Internet marketing brand at Doz.com? SEOMoz's openness has helped dozens of startups with posts like this: http://moz.com/blog/mozs-18-million-venture-financing-our-story-metrics-and-future http://moz.com/blog/mozs-18-million-venture-financing-our-st... You can't get much nicer than that to your competitors short of giving them money. IIRC the deck included there, from over a year ago, hints at future use of the Moz brand too. Just because they're bigger than the company behind Doz.com doesn't mean we have to jump to the conclusion that they are the bad guys here. Their lawyer even went to the unnecessary trouble of offering to help doz.com which might have meant financially given a more dignified response.
