I decided to wander over and look at the site...You know, what the heck.
Which is when I saw "Truu Wife Confessions"
Oh Sweet Jeebus. My blood pressure rose dramatically.
But I did nothing at first. I thought. I meandered.
And then I emailed, through the website.
I stated that the title was derivative but for ONE letter, and I wanted it taken down.
The response?
Thanks for reaching out Dawn. This vertical has been up on the site for almost 2 years (since I relaunched truuconfessions.com).
Would you have any interest in taking this vertical over and using the confessional on your site and pulling your content into the truu blog?
truuconfessions works on a lifestage model (much like the knot, the nest, etc) and wives was always a category and then its own vertical. Just as the huffingtonpost creates "big news pages" around topics, that's all I did and continue to do with other topics.
I'm sorry for any bad blood in the past - no intention to "plagiarize" as u say. If you'd like to work together on this section (with a fair rev share split) I'd be happy to talk by phone or email.
Best,
Romi
Um, Hell No? Hell to the Nizzo?
My response:
No. I have no interest in partnering with you.
I want you to take it down, regardless of how long it has been up.

Within Minutes, I got this:
Thanks for your quick response.
Sorry. I'm not going to go in and change the infrastructure of my site.
Best,
Romi

And My final response:
The concept and title is derivative of MY site, which has been in place since 2006.
The is my last request to take down that section. I should, by rights, ask for a portion of your revenue for the entire time you have been using the name. I am not.
Take down Truu Wife Confessions.
Dawn Rouse
Let's see what the next chapter brings.
Updated to add the Contact form for "Truu wife". Feel free to use it - Hell, even if you want to tell Romi that I am a spiteful bitch who should shut up. Just let your voice be heard. I am not being quiet this time around.

Stick to it Dawn; how dare she do that ... some people's kids! Just don't uberstress yourself about it - find a lawfirm (not sure if it would have to be one in the states) that has a specialty in IP and see if they'll take it on as a contingent matter.
