Jeremy Cioara has,\u00a0 for many years, encouraged countless hundreds of thousands of would-be Cisco engineers through his skillful training and fabulous Cisco expertise.<\/p>\n
In his spare time, he runs a blog “ciscoblog.com” which gets in excess of 600,000 unique visitors per month.\u00a0 Jeremy’s blog is mainly devoted to Cisco and provides valuable and harmless (quite the opposite) marketing for Cisco.<\/p>\n
This is how Cisco thanks him:<\/p>\n
On his blog, Jeremy (always the saint) simply says:<\/p>\n
Well, after 5 fun years of running CiscoBlog.com, Cisco “agents” have come. I was contacted by Cisco a couple weeks ago stating that CiscoBlog.com violates their trademark. Being that CiscoBlog.com gets 600,000 hits monthly (isn’t that amazing?!?) I thought I could at least get a box of t-shirts out of the whole deal. Unfortunately, the response went something like, “Mr. Anderson…this is a legal matter. We don’t negotiate.”<\/p>\n
So…I have until July 4th to find a new domain name. I guess if I owned Cisco, I wouldn’t want some hoodlum posting at CiscoBlog.com…so I understand the complaint.<\/p>\n
…I just wanted a box of t-shirts out of the whole thing… :o)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Good luck Jeremy.\u00a0 But Cisco?\u00a0 I won’t say what I am thinking..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
