Hi, Mel,
Yes, I found out plenty. It's some big outfit who buys up domains and makes a pretense of using them (like the 6 week wonder) and then just sits on them. I, personally, don't believe anyone should be allowed to sit endlessly on domain names without developing them. Decent, short, domain names are in short supply and people hoarding them is why. I say give them 2 or 3 years to develop them and, if not, they revert back to public availability.
I did register other variants of the name and even developed a couple of them...then a good friend (lawyer) advised me that they could move in and just take what I had developed etc because of them owning the base name so I just gave the three domains away and called it quits with it. I'm not going to work my butt off to have some jerk come along and rip it all off.
Since I changed registrars I haven't had any similar problems.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
