No, it's a Romanian court. Don't know if Wordpress will actually oblige the C&D if it comes


They are in Romania, why would you even care about their silly threats? Repost the article all over the internet, inter-link, and your links will show up first in the search engines.


I'm in Romania too. The original blogpost criticizing their product is third in Google search results when looking for "colon help" (at least if you are in RO)

Anyway, no big deal yet as I'm remaining anonymous and I'm sure Automatic Inc will be fine, however the principle of the thing is bothering me. They already stoped proper criticism because the person had a domain and a whois search gave his name and address away.

I don't plan on stopping and will continue to critique products which are bulshit naming them on purpose.

I already did this with Power Balance (5-th in results) and they did not sue or react much.

This is a big company though, they sold over 200.000 products at 35$ a piece (this is a lot in Romania)


Checked Google.ca. For Colon Help your blog from July of Last year is 5th. The first couple are theirs. And the 4th one is irrelevant; it's about semicolon's.

It's quite shitty that after all this time Romania is still such a piece of work. Every month or so I read up on more stuff regarding it, and thank my folks for coming to Canada 6 years ago.


Third result about to become #1..

Too bad you don't have the FTC over there.
