The Hunt For The BlueFur
written by John Chow on August 19th, 2007
If you’re wondering what BlueFur is, these videos may help explain it. Then again, it may raise more questions than it answers.
BlueFur was originally call Monster Hosting. However, it was threaten by some company, who shall remain nameless, with a trademark infringement lawsuit. Rather than spending an unholy amount of money to fight the suit, BlueFur decided to change their name.
These video is part of the rebranding effort. Part 1 is directly below and part 2 is directly below part 1.

Reply to this commentI’ve had to deal with trademark issues in jobs I’ve had before. It really is amazing how litigious large corporations are over anything that could even remotely sound or look like their product or service.
Reply to this commentIt depends on the issue, in some cases large companies will make outlandish claims hoping you’ll settle out of fear and if you ignore them, they never pursue it legally, as it’s not worth the cost to fight a risky battle.
Reply to this commentI think with large companies that’s one of their main tactics - especially if they’re going up against a startup or a small company.
For most small companies it’s just not worth the possibility that you might lose and have to face a huge legal bill that would put you out of business.
Safer to steer clear.

Reply to this commentThe theme has a nice layout and the header pic is nice, the site seems to be cluttered with ad’s, what the heck John, you know what you’re doing. People will still come even if they have to filter through the ads.
