Netvibes wants me to change my universe name.

I got an email from Netvibes support today asking me to change my Netvibes universe name, which is EA.

We would like to thank you for your participation in our beta program and for the huge interest you had in creating your public page but it has come to our attention that the name you selected for your Netvibes universe (which appears on the URL of your universe) may be in violation of our Terms of Service either because this name is a generic term or because it might potentially infringe upon the rights of third parties.

We’ll soon provide new features which will make it easier for you to share interests but in the meantime we kindly demand that you modify this name in your profile http://www.netvibes.com/#view-profile as soon as possible, but no later than in the next 7 days, or that you provide us with evidence that you possess the necessary rights to such name. If not, we would be forced to have it modified or to suspend your account.

I’m guessing that they think that Electronic Arts has rights to that name? If Electronic Arts had an issue with any username that I have, I would think that they’d have an issue with my gamertag. So much for being an early adopter. Or maybe “EA” is just to generic?

I’m at the mercy of Netvibes. I could become one extinct animal in there universe.
