Okay Bill, fair enough. But I still think that you should have contritely viewed yourself as being at the mercy of Business Wire's wishes, and immediately (if not sooner) removed the Byline as requested, rather than pompously and defiantly subjecting Business Wire to the YOUR mercy by taking your sweet little 'ol time. Business Wire's wishes should have taken precedence over your "busy-ness," in my opinion. In three hours a whole lot can happen with a trademark, and I can totally understand Business Wire wanting pronto removal of anything that could mark their endorsement of the "untrue" Webnode fabrication. So... correct me if I am wrong. Business Wire contacted you privately and respectfully and asked that you remove the Byline, and during the course of your initial exchanges, BizWire DID NOT threaten you with legal consequences. Correct?
