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.

You don't know the legal angles because one reason. You don't run a business that owns a trademark and you have never even talked to a qualified legal representative to get schooled in even the basics of trademark law. Until you do that you should stop behaving so pompously like you actually do have a clue. You are literally proving to every person here that does run a real business how seriously deficient you are in this matter.
Why don't you run and play in a thread where your opinion might actually matter? I am sure there is a new model content thread you can chirp in somewhere that people will actually pay attention to your sagely wisdom in.
