Evite threatens to sue Socializr

Is there room in this town for two event planning/invitation web service (this town being you know, the whole world)? Evite owners Ticketmaster seem to think there's not. They've sent a letter to Socialzr threatening legal action over similar invitation templates and web design.

At issue are Socializr's "Holiday," and "Hawaii Luau" invitation styles, which Evite says are identical to templates on its own site. The two styles have been removed from Socializr's site, but "Winter Celebration," which Evite claims is similar to a design on its site remains.

To be honest, the Winter Celebration designs look pretty different. Sure they're both blue and white and have snowflakes. But what do you expect for a winter theme? And if you look closely, you'll see that the snowflakes on each design look different. See, it's true. No two snowflakes are the same. Unless you send the same invitation twice.
