MMO Fan Site Removes Character Stats Over Trademark Claim 139
steveb3210 writes "EQ2Wire.com is a fan site for the MMO Everquest 2. One feature of their site is a searchable portal for all game-related stats such as characters, equipment, items, and mobs which they generate from an XML feed provided by the game's publisher. Recently, the owner of a trademark has been threatening them over the name of a character and in the face of possible legal bills, they were forced to remove the character's profile from their site. Adding further insult to injury, the character seems to have been created prior to the trademark in question."

Sounds like someone is trolling them, just like fake DMCA takedowns being sent to sites, illegal surly, but its still fairly common.
