Big bully companies suck
I’m pretty upset and while I usually try to reread my posts before publishing them, today I won’t. The frustration must go.
I received an email (maybe some of you did too) from Scott Annan, great guy at Mercury Grove. They’re working on a new project called Dex. The problem is that they received a “Cease & desist” letter from another company called “Dex Media”.
“Dex” is a popular word. Many companies use that word. There is a Dex skateboard company, a Dex insurance company, numerous other software companies, Medical equipment, Dex clothes, Imaging, Concrete work, etc.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Dex Media but they don’t like the Dex Application. Too similar it seems…
Changing the domain name is the easy solution but this type of cyber bullying should not even be possible. Some people register domains like FordSucks.com and that’s fine. It’s called liberty of expression in a free world.
The fight over nissan.com is a good example of this democraty. The good guy won over Golliath. Help Scott spread the word. Even though he might not win, people will know how pathetic DexMedia’s business practices are.
