I really think this is just a bit too much. I do see the other side where people who try to squat on usernames to possibly get money, but in all honesty... I still am not all that keen on the trademark as there are only so many ways to call any business. It gets ridiculous sometimes. Agreed! I really think this is just a bit too much.

Depending on who the larger company tries to go after, they'll risk the Streisand Effect. I agree with Charity. As long as its not trademarked or if you are not trying to impersonate another person, usernames should not be usurped. This whole thing reminds me of the Mike Roe incident.

You make a good point. That is the reason I put my url in there too. Unfortunately, for some of my older social network profiles, unless I delete them and start over, I will be able to re-brand them.

I tend to choose usernames that are more or less unremarkable simply to make sure that I am able to actually get and keep my username.
