I have created and maintained a website for the last three years that parodies People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I created a website that uses the letters P E T A to mean "People Eating Tasty Animals". My website does not defame, insult, misquote, or misinform, it presents opinions and facts regarding the Animal Rights issue. Where it gets complicated is last year I registered the domain http://www.petasucks.cc PeTA owns petasucks.com,net,org Now I am being accused by a PeTA representative of infringing on the PeTA name. I did some research on PeTA and discoved that PeTA owns the domain http://www.voguesucks.com that aims to defame Vogue. What gives PeTA the right to do that while at the same time they threaten legal action against me for using http://www.petasucks.cc? Should I get a lawyer? BTW I do sell bumper stickers, T-Shirts, Mouse Pads, and coffee mugs bearing the word letters PETA for profit. No where do I copy PeTA's trademarked logo.
