Spektor asserted,

“Rowe has been conducting a smear campaign against us for sometime and has refused to desist, despite repeated warnings. We have been left with no alternative but to take legal action.”

“Repeated warnings” implies more than one, I have only ever received one communication from ING in the form of a legal demand notice.

If ING’s marketing practices are sound then they shouldn’t they be thanking me for publicising them?

” …

Domain name renewal notices sent to a domain name owner by the Melbourne-based Internet Names Group are the centre of a copyright dispute. Joshua Rowe posted the renewal notices from ING on his website and is refusing to remove them, despite claims by ING that the information contained in the notices is copyright protected. Rowe, who has campaigned against ING’s practices, believes that ING is unlikely to win copyright protection in an Australian court because the notices represent public policy. He has also complained to the ACCC regarding ING’s notices that relate to domains already registered.
