Just read the complaint again. I would be very surprised if the lawyers could suppress their laughter when they wrote this paragraph. 25. Instead of removing the BUSINESS WIRE mark from the copy of their fraudulent press release posted on the Webnode.com website, defendants changed the byline on the fraudulent press release to BIDNESS WIRE, a name nearly identical and confusingly similar to Business Wire's Marks. It is the most laughable piece in the complaint, and does not pass the "straight face test" (when lawyers make a questionable argument, the test is whether they could make that argument in court with a "straight face"). "BIDNESS WIRE" is confusingly similar? Maybe to ebonics majors . . . ROFLMAO!!!
