You have fought "dogs" before, but how many of those dogs were companies that you had nothing to gain from? Like Acacia. You had zero to gain from them. Tube sites are "dogs" when they are stealing your content but they are "bros" when they link back to you and you make some sales. Everyone knows the tube sites control a lot of traffic now and sales are harder and harder to come by. Are you really going to take a stand against a company that you can actually profit from? Question asked and answered.

Dig a little deeper. I can't comment on our situation with CE other than to say that we were at one time involved in an arbitration with them. Sorry, but you are free to play detective and solve that mystery for everyone, because I can't help there. I can say that we definitely are willing to take a stand against a company we did, would, and could profit from. So take your inane and unfounded conclusions elsewhere.
We have gone after numerous mark infringements over the years. Always, we try to amicably and professionally try to find a resolution that protects our marks and creates a mutually profitable resolution first. We found the previous owners willing to work with us and the new ownership apparently also values a relationship with us.
That doesn't make us liars. That doesn't make us enemies of the industry. If our decision is unpopular then so be it. I know that others that took our same approach have had positive results as well. Even now, in spite of all the accusations and insults, I am trying to help those here that are raising cain and grousing when they could be effecting a positive change. I don't expect anyone to listen since complaining is more fun and a hell of a lot easier to do. Which is fine by me, one of my favorite guilty pleasures is hearing my competition saying they are leaving the business, going bankrupt, selling their assets, or whatever.
