Available domain name in an email...

[Mr. Deleted]

This domain was advertised in an email that I got today from Think Progressive, and it is available to register...

Joseph,

"You've been owned!" That's what product manufacturers are hoping the Supreme Court will tell Americans this fall.

The Court will decide if you have the right to resell the very things that YOU OWN -- your clothes, your iPod, even your house:

Please click here for more details, and tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we own.

This case is flying under the radar, so please use these links to get your friends involved and help us fight back:

Product manufacturers are trying to take away your right to resell items that are manufactured abroad, in whole or in part. In this globalized world, that's almost anything you own. Today we're launching YouveBeenOnwed.org to help Americans fight back.

If the Supreme Court rules with manufacturers, we might have to say goodbye to Ebay, Craigslist, and the old-fashioned American yard sale.

Manufacturers will have an extra incentive to off-shore jobs. Re-use and recycling efforts will be undermined, harming the environment.

Your pockets will be empty, and your basement will be a mess of junk you don't want or need:

Please tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we own -- just click here.



Almost nobody knows about this far-reaching case yet -- please use these links to get your friends involved in the effort:

If they are selling,..then you are the 'customer'.

That is the bottom line.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

The email was about if you own something, and want to SELL it on ebay, or at a yard sale, etc, and it is made overseas, that they can block you from selling it, but I found it funny that they misspelled their new domain in their email... So who will be going and registering "youvebeenonwed.org" (as opposed to their website address, youvebeenowned.org)

 

[Jeroen]

It's a typo of youvebeenowned.org

Aside from that, is this publication true? If so it will have a huge impact. There's not much reference to it on the web.

sounds like it is trying to protect folks like me.. inventor or licensed owner of a tangible product for sale. Like this for example.. I am a multi patented inventor of the inflatable movie screen.

When I petitioned Alibaba to remove my pics and proved to them I was the owner of the pics with my residence in the background. They let this Chinese mfg cut out the background and use the picture again.
