Not only that it's trademarked as a retail store for selling goods and subscriptions. Since the OP is not running a store or even a pay-site I don't see where the confusion could possibly come from.
In fact, I don't think anyone outside the industry has any idea about this "trademark" and I think it would be pretty difficult to prove that Joe Surfer was ever bamboozled into joining the OP's free site while trying to purchase goods from Homegrown Video.
Yeah I don't know alot about the legal angles, but I am pretty sure the precedents that exist, are there because too many people have rolled over under threat of costly litigation and the legal system has been abused to allow this kind of legal extortion and anti-competetive practices.
