&#62; Amazon.com has requested that we shut down the site and discontinue use of their logos and graphics.<p>Soooo yeah, companies have things called "trademarks" and "copyrights"... you can't just go putting another company's name inside your company's name, <i>and then</i> make your imagery the same as theirs, without their lawyers sending you a strongly worded C&#38;D. However I don't see why this would have to shut down based on that -- why not restart under a new, distinct name and branding?

Not sure what they were expecting using "amazon" in the name.

I'm genuinely curious as to how the site owners expected to not find themselves in a precarious legal position using this name/imagery. Care to enlighten us?

You were told this would happen. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5358720" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5358720</a>

Why are you shutting down instead of rebranding?

Is this caused by the link with bitcoins, or is it simply because they used "amazon" in the name?

Apart from the request of removing their logos, Amazon also requested that "[you] shut down the site". Is this because of the specific business model you had, or only because of the domain name? If it is only because of the domain: Do you have any plans on continuing this service?

What did AmazonBitCoins do? I'm assuming allowed you to buy things from Amazon using BC?

Damn, this was one of the only reasons I have a machine in the corner churning bitcoins. I liked being able to directly swap them for Amazon credit.
