thanks sinix. just getting a third opinion from another attorney re: ebays logo. i've been advised when referring to a trademark, to provide that trademark if possible.

but ebay hit me with a cease and decisit letter for my URL. wtf? they say they successfully stopped ebaysecurities.com from being registered? anyhow, our letter back was that ShmeeBay is a completely separate word, i.e. ebay, shmeebay. and if you were to google it, you would see people using it as a separate word.

but their argument is that ebay is in it. so i presume ChesapekeBay.com is out of luck? and then TheBayOfPigs.com? it's a whole new world out there.

but i could see their point if it was like eBaysoup or CafeEbay. Then again, there're Chevytalk.com, chevyforums.com, fordforums.com, hondaforums.com....

it'll be a long road.
