That's weird. Trademark doesn't protect such usage. If you use the trademark to refer fake product, it's a trademark violation.

Oh for sure. I even responded saying that it's clearly parody (modified their logo to be the hacking softwares logo) and that's protected in Canada. But she kept coming and I forget who but someone said that while I'm right I'm in over my head and to decide how much I care about the site. Decided to just move on to other projects.

Also I was 17 and I imagine I was more easily intimidated.
