HI Folks
As part of our objections to a planned windturbine installation in a totally unsuitable location - we registered a domain name and created a website that reported our progress & eventual success in getting the devlopment stopped.
Now, some 9 months after we won the planning appeal, and nearly 3 years since the site started, we've had a threatening letter from the company that wanted to erect the turbine - claiming that our domain name infringes their registered trademark, and that they "will not tolerate the continued existence of this misleading and damaging domain name".
They also say "Our clients instruct us that you have a link to their website featured on your website. This is completely unacceptable. This link has been created without our clients' permission and is accompanied by extremely unfair and misleading comments in relation to our clients and we demand that it be removed immediately"
The legal letter says a lot more (it's three pages long!) - but I know the answers to all of the other points that they raiss!
I'll be taking legal advice on this next week - but what's the view of you experts out there...?
Have you been on the receiving end of this sort of letter - and what (if anything) did you do about it ?
The site's Ceramicx Windfarm Sucks! - why this windturbine is total greenwash. - by the way....
Thanks in advance
Adrian
