Hi

There is an old axiom on the internet that "you never really matter until someone decides it's worthwhile suing you"

Today that has happened to me.

In my spare time I run a hobby website. SEEK.com.au wants to take me down because the URL contains seek in the title. A copy of the legal letter is available here: http://seek.estate/sue.pdf

My current situation:

My website which generates little to no revenue. I have already declared as a foot note on the website in every single page in bold letters. "We are not affiliated with SEEK Limited" so noone is confused regarding the ownership and our logos are completely different.

"seek" is a common word in the English language which has been in use since biblical times, eg. Matthew 7:7-8 KJV seek, and ye: shall find

Seek's trademark and business clearly relate to Paid advertising in the Jobs market in Australia. My website offers a Free information service for Real Estate buyers in Au and NZ and in no way seeks to compete with Seek in any way and/or use their brand's goodwill.

I'm just after some advice as to what I can do. I like my website, I don't want to lose it to a AUD 6 billion corporation because they think they own a common English language word and can just bully me into the ground.
