They could always go back to twitter and propose dropping the lawsuit if they change their name?
Yes I know Twitpic is the brand, but if they were to simply DNS redirect Twitpic.com to ickleimages.com [1](available!) then twitter wouldn't be littered with old broken images, and the company could work on pushing the new brand.
They do now support more than twitter after all.
If it's a viable business, it seems crazy to throw it away to prove a point that many probably saw as an issue from the outset (That is the use of twit* for a service that leeches off twitter's success).
I'm sure changing every single link to serve twittermademedoit.gif would be frowned upon.. but then the company isn't going to exist any more..
disclaimer. I've never used Twitpic before, nor posted on twitter so may be missing something..
