I have to say I agree with Survey Monkey in this case. What PopSurvey is doing is bad and you should feel bad as well.

SurveyMonkey is just trying to protect their brand, which is fair, while PopSurvey seems to be making a bigger deal about it than they should - they tried to market with monkies for obvious reasons, and now they are trying to look like they are getting pushed around.

I don't know enough about the law and trademark and parody to know comment on the legal aspects of this, but I have to say that I actually appreciated the tone of SurveyMonkey's attorney's letter.

Well done, PopSurvey. Had never heard of you, but now you're top of my list. That folks is how you market.
