No attorney would ever be dumb enough to let a business be named "***pal" and try to replicate a payment system that is patented (yes patented) by a company named "payPAL", which in itself is a trademarked name. No attorney, not even the craziest one. They can't possibly have any legal retention for that company. I don't use them because I don't want money sitting in an account when they go down, and if they are (for lack of a better word, but I don't mean that in a condesending tone) "dumb" enough to make the mistake of originally calling it gunpal, my mind says: what other mistakes are they making? As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions. Just because it was founded on a good premise doesn't make it a good idea.
If they renamed themselves, it would have little to do with PC if they took the "pal" out. if "pal" is still in there, then WOW. So what are they called now?
