If sleeping with your best mate meant you got to watch two chicks sleep with each other would you sleep with your mate?

 

[GDJustin]

I was gonna register it the other night. Actually, I would have, but I couldn't find my wallet, which contains my credit cards.

Well, the guy who registered Nintendo21.com is in for a rude awakening when he eventually finds out that it's fake.

Anyway, registering a domain name with the sole intention of selling it to the "rightful" owner to make a profit is illegal, and there are mechanisms in place to force the squatter to give up the domain if that's found to be the case. Things get a lot more difficult when someone registers, say, bowser.com and intend to use it for a blog, a portfolio site, or, well, whatever. In most cases, the situation will swing in favor of whomever registered it first, as long as a clear case is made that they're not intending to make money off of the site simply by virtue of the domain.

Other issues that can spring up are more well known. Nissan (the car company) got into a pretty nasty fight with a small business named Nissan Computers. In cases like those, where the claim is on exact, equal ground, it simply becomes a matter of how much money you think the domain is worth.

Of course, this isn't license to just say you're building something called "The Revolution" and try to get money out of Nintendo.

 

[koam]

And speaking of www.nissan.com

!!! WE ARE BEING SUED !!!


Nissan Motor is suing Nissan Computer (named
after its founder and current President,
Mr. Uzi Nissan) for Trademark Infringement,
Trademark Dilution and CyberSquatting,
seeking 10 Million Dollars in damages


This is after more than 20 years of Mr. Nissan's well-documented
use of his family name for business purposes in the US,
and which he commenced when the cars were known as DATSUN.

Ouch.

Yes, but I'm gay.

 

[Rorschach]

Ouch.

:lol I like the flags around the "We are being sued" announcement.

Really? Someone's squatting one of my domains, which expired. i regged my first and last name as .com TLDs, one hyphenated and one not, and someone grabbed one. Any advice?

 

[djpubba]

Yeah, I'd like to know how to get a domain name away from some squatters without paying $2500 to ICANN. The squatters know I can do that so they'll give it to me for "only" $2000.

 

[xsarien]

ICANN's domain dispute policy:
http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm

I completely forgot about the "bad faith" rules. But, all in all, you need clear, solid ground to stand on when formally doing this. Nobody likes wasted time.

 

[djpubba]

Yabut, ICANN charges $2500 to send the case to an arbitrator for review. Might as well pay the camper $2k and save $500.
