Looks like there's another example of spyware publishers desperately trying to protect their business model using the courts as a bludgeon. Zango seems to have a knack for finding the little guys in the community (in this case, a single individual effort, not for profit) and threatening them with all kinds of nastiness. Granted, in this case the domain in question is http://zingozango.com which might, if you squint real hard, and you knock your ruby slippers together three times, and dance naked under the harvest moon, and said moon is in the fifth house of Aquarius with a retrograde Mercury, potentially be misinterpreted as use of Zango's legitimately registered trademark. More than likely, it's simply fair use. Here is something I found on the web that relates to the case, at least obliquely; it refers to cases in which companies have used the courts to attempt to silence critics on the web.
Posted on Sunbelt's blog first. *shakes fist* You're too quick for the rest of us, Alex.
