I’ve never been a big fan of Davezilla<\/a>. Just never floated my boat, and that’s what makes a horse race and all that.<\/p>\n

But, c’mon, folks, let’s get real. Corporate Suits of Toho Co., Ltd., why don’t you cut the guy some slack<\/a>. Slapping him with a Cease-and-Desist letter because he’s named his site “Davezilla” and you own the copyright to “Godzilla” does not pass the horse laugh test.<\/p>\n

Please be advised that your use of the GODZILLA mark … confuses consumers and the public into believing that your “GODZILLA” character originates from Toho ….<\/i><\/p>\n

No, it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Moveover, your use of the “ZILLA” formative along with imagery assocated with GODZILLA is likely to cause the users of your site to believe that the “DAVEZILLA.COM” website is either assocated with, authorized by, or sponsored by our client ….<\/i><\/p>\n

Only if those users are dunderheads. And Toho should know better<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dave declines to back down. Good for him.<\/p>\n

Doubtless we will soon see efforts to extend Toho’s copyright another 50 years, too. (Mutter mutter mutter …)<\/p>\n
