Initially I thought it was simply bullshit and asked if they were having a slow day in the office. But they persisted and threatened legal action against us. At which point we contacted our own attorneys for advice.
Long story short - the attorneys reached a settlement and we sold off the domain.

That's insane, and sort of what I'm concerned with. Hopefully you made out.
I guess this is just what you have to deal with if you want to create something original that grew out of something not so much.
I think I'm just going to create and see what happens and then eat it and create something else out of that if anything should happen.
Anyway I like the logo idea the best to get started. People will have to come at me from a lot of different angles anyway if they even bother of think they have a right too.
Thanks everyone
I might also just spit out some short scripts and copyright those and register them with the WGAw just to be even safer. I have a couple writing credits so I have a little clout in that area. It's the design and term I'm more concerned with.
Thanks again
