phenomenon: it faces a user opened a blog somewhat satirical parody.
Specifically, the adviser Canon, Chuck Westfall is the target of
online newspaper Fake Chuck Westfall Blog.
Publisher Wordpress.com, which hosts the blog in question, received a
letter (PDF) calling for the abolition of user account. According to
Canon, Fake Chuck Westfall would not simply use the official logo of
the company, but have written several threats of physical violence
against the original Mr. Westfall, while violating his privacy by
mentioning the name of his wife and daughter. Moreover, according to
Canon, the theme graphic Fake Chuck Westfall specifically aimed to
deceive the user.
Upon receipt of this request, the publisher Automatic contacted the
author of Fake Chuck Westfall in advising him to withdraw the official
logo of Canon and softened its tone. Automatic however, refuses to
close this blog and state that the employee Canon publicly refers to
her private life on a page of its website where it mentions the name
of his wife and daughter. Automattic aileurs believes that through its
name, its URL and its satirical content, the blog can not be regarded
as a source of confusion for the user.
