The so I own a Instagram and it's like the old Instagram name of the company and I post all the same content they do and I got and email sayingYou have 48 hrs to deactivate @---- and stop impersonating ------ LLC before we take legal action. 

I took out the website from my bio, should I put a disclaimer saying I have no association with the website or should I put parody account? Can they really take legal action on Instagram?
 
Depends how big the company is and if they're copyrighted.
 
Just put your a parody fuck em, doubt they'll go through all that for a ig acc
 
they WILL take legal action. I would change go a parody account.
 
I know this sounds stupid, but I'd say swap it onto a new account with no posts.

Problem solved?
 
swap whatever the @ is toa fresh and they will never know it was you. Even if they do forcefully deactivate the old account its not losing the @.
 
I've seen this happen way too much this past couple of months, why do big businesses care lol

Because they don't want people thinking a Random person represents Their business.
 
Wait why don't you deactivate for like a week so they forget then make your account look like a parody and say you're not linked to them.
 
The thing is the company is like a company known for funny videos it's not like I'm uploading there stuff

Just swap into a half legit account
They will think it is a personal account

Will they do it? Probably not. Can they? Yes, if they have a trademark and you're infringing on it.

We had a C&D (cease and desist) 100 times before, and only once did they actually file a lawsuit (we didn't defend and had to pay damages as well).
 
why not offer them to buy it from you?
