Crackdown on crack.dk — or how to get yourself a £ 50k lawsuit

I linked ommer.dk’s krak.dk par­ody, crack.dk ear­lier. Now Theis got this from the friendly peo­ple of krak.dk — an angry let­ter from their solic­i­tors telling him to take down the site or pay £ 50k. The par­ody site take advan­tage of the sim­i­lar­ity between the word “krak” (which is a Dan­ish yel­low pages style ser­vice) and the word “crack”, well, you know what that is… Crack.dk then allows you to do searches on deal­ers etc. Fun and games. And krak.dk then, stu­pid as they appa­rantly are, pull the “don’t mess with our brand” act on the site. Which, besides being highly ques­tion­able as a legal move, totally misses the point; you don’t want bad pub­lic­ity with regards to a totally inno­cent prank when you’ve got a well-known brand. You risk it just all back­fires, leav­ing you with the mon­key — and peo­ple with a brand name to remem­ber where it is… And come on, folks — £ 50k and a threat not only not to use the logo, but to stop linking?!

Update: The fun never stops.

    Hej Sten,

    Tak for din adresse. Jeg ved ikke hvem du er, eller hvor­for du mener jeg skal have din adresse. Du kan med fordel arbe­jde med dit skriftlige udtryk, mÃ¥ske eksper­i­mentere med for­men; lang­somt bygge en his­to­rie op og lade det hele kul­minere med en pointe — noget med formÃ¥l og sÃ¥dan…

    Hvis jeg skal bruge tilfældige adresser, kan jeg jo pasende bruge krak.dk…
