So I got 2 emails today from Green dot /M oney pak today. They
are demanding I remove all mention of them from my “website”, which is
actually this blog.
WTF? The blogs are well over a year old, and I haven’t used those cards in a long time, but my problem isn’t so much that. How do they have any right to threaten me with “legal action” by just mentioning their website on a BLOG. Is this a violation of free speech? Again, I really don’t care about them, but I am not using their “logo” just typing words and a link. What it seems to be is that this link shows up on a blog that has adult content, and they don’t like that.
To summarize, when you use the name of a company, suddenly, its a trademark and you can’t blog about how shitty they are, because their name is protected. I call bullshit.
I will most definitely remove their link and mention of their company and do NOT want anyone to buy one for me. Any company that can threaten to take legal action for mentioning or linking to them on a blog is shady, underhanded and does NOT need my business!
