I got this e-mail yesterday:
"This letter serves to inform you that you may not lawfully use in commerce or lawfully profit from any form of comicbible.com, Comic Bible and The Comic Bible, and you must immediately cease and desist use of our trademark name, The Comic Bible, in any form.
Since 1996, our company, then MAP/PMS now PMS Productions Inc., put the name Comic Bible in various forms, in commerce/use with tm in various forms, it then became a US registered trademark of our company and remains in use with trademark protection as well as copyright protection for the publications, productions and websites we had and do produce under the names Comic Bible and The Comic Bible as well other forms of that name.
Be advised that further profit or sale of the name for use in commerce would be construed as intentional damage to our company, would be further misleading to consumer, and is a gross unlawful act, and indirect violation of US Federal and other laws which are International.
I expect your prompt attention to this very important matter.
Thank you.

Currently I have these sites that may be their problem:

http://completecomicbible.deviantart.com/
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=124168797259
http://comicbibleproject.ning.com - I am trying to cancel this one as I haven't done anything on it yet.
I have changed the group name now on facebook from The Comic Bible to the Complete Comic Bible.
What are my options?
I don't know what to do about this because I am not making any money out of this and it seems to me they want to sue me.

Hmm, now I understand what happened. www.thecomicbible.com found www.comicbible.com , couldn't find the owner, googled comic bible and found my e-mail somehow and thought that I was www.comicbible.com .
I have no association with www.comicbible.com so I probably have nothing to worry about.
