Website Facebook violation?
I had an e-mail from Facebook today stating that my website is violating their copyrights. They told me take it down. But I see so many websites similar to mine, and my website is about selling social media services from many other medias like youtube, twitter and Pinterest. It is an ecommerce site. These are bits of th eletter I got:
"Accordingly, we were concerned when we learned of your registration and use of fans-tastic.com. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of its trademarks is very important to Facebook. Your registration and use of fans-tastic.com violates the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.) because it infringes and dilutes the famous Facebook trademark.
Infringement occurs when a third party’s use of a company’s trademark (or a confusingly similar variation thereof) is likely to confuse consumers as to the affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of the third party’s services. Trademark dilution occurs when a third party’s use of a variation of a company’s trademark is likely to lessen the distinctiveness of the company’s famous trademark.
We have filed several proceedings before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's arbitration panel. Facebook has prevailed in each case and the domain names at issue were all ordered to be transferred to Facebook. Facebook is concerned that your unauthorized use of the Facebook name may cause confusion as to whether you or your company’s activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by Facebook when, in fact, they are not.
This the website I'm talking about here==>http://fans-tastic.com/
Anybody had this same problem or any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Warriors.
