Funimation: You have received a C&D notice to stop distribution of our properties Kodocha, Rumbling Hearts, Case Closed, Burst Angel (Alright is a literal translation but really), Hare+Guu, and Aquarion please comply with our request or we will be forced to take legal action.
Random Subber: Well we have something called Kodomo No Omocha, but I honestly have no idea what this Kodocha is. We also did Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Detective Conan, Bakeretsu Tenshi, Jungle Wa Hare Itsumo Nochi Guu and Sosei No Aquarion. Please explain this letter as we have not infringed on any of your trademarks.

Sigh... Firstly, Funimation does not send out C&Ds frequently. (Also, nobody is as stupid as your random subber and C&Ds aren't for trademarks.)
Secondly:
1) We already went over Kodocha, Rumbling, Case closed earlier in this thread. Ignoring these for your failure to read the thread.
2) Hare+Guu is done by ANE and is the official title in Japan now. They renamed the manga after it was started. When ANE went to pick up the rights was just about the time it was renamed. They were therefore obligated to use the new name. Therefore, this again, is not a rename that is for the US release.
I'm not even going to bother touching Burst Angel or Aquarion as those are just being anal-rententive.
And Thirdly, Funimation does not "rename" everything. Trinity Blood, Desert Punk, Solty Rei, Moonphase, Full Metal Panic:TSR, etc etc all are not renamed. Infact, you named almost 3/4rs of their "renames".
