Some people never learn

So, after thinking and listening and emailing and talking, I felt better about the situation around True Wife Confessions and the obvious derivation.


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.
