Monavie thinks people don't have a right to criticize it

LazyManandMoney.com is one of the better personal finance blogsites out there -- and it recently had the nerve to do a post skeptical of a multilevel marketing company called MonaVie and its $1.70-per-ounce juice.

Well, of course MonaVie wouldn't stand for that and responded by sending an e-mail to Domains By Proxy Inc, the hosting company for the Web site. Here are some excerpts (LazyManAndMoney was enough of a tough guy to reprint the e-mail on his blog):

As a network marketing company MonaVie does not permit its name to be used in any URL or email address and the company must take necessary action to protect its intellectual property. . . Your unauthorized use of MonaVie's federally registered trademarks amounts to an infringement of MonaVie's trademark rights. . . MonaVie wishes to settle this situation amicably and therefore, requests that you immediately cease the use of our trade name MonaVie.
