Email Recieved?

Dave,
How is the previous thread relevant? He currently owns one of the 1,865 names listed in the suit. He isn't a former owner. Maybe I am confused.

It's nice to see Yahoo cracking down, by filing in real court instead of UDRP.

They do it because it is cheaper.


Typosquatters should see this as a wakeup call.

Only those which are within the reach of US jurisdiction.

I am just wondering why anyone in there right mind would try to squat names from huge corps like that......this always blows my mind

 

[tas38]

Well the court may very well have send yahoo, to the icann panel on domain names anyways. But they will always let people turn them over first, they don't want to spend anymore then they have to right ?

 

[MrDude]

Im willing to hand over the name, I would even pay transferr costs incurred, I am going to call yahoo once I get home tonight.

You may not have noticed, but the suit is filed against YOU.

Diverge, I don't know where you got your law degree, but this particular suit (and, yes, I've seen the complaint and the 1,865 domains in it) is not filed against any person at all.

It is a particular type of suit, called an in rem suit, which can be filed against a thing, and not a person. The full extent of award possible under an ACPA in rem proceeding is transfer of the domain name.

MrDude, how long did you contemplate your legal capacity to contract when you contracted for registration of the domain name?

MrDude, how long did you contemplate your legal capacity to contract when you contracted for registration of the domain name?

Could you possibly rephrase that? I dont understand what you mean? How long did I register? 1 year. How long did I think about it? I never, it was when I was looking for domains with traffic, the particular domain I have once distributed software.

 

[jberryhill]

Could you possibly rephrase that?

A domain name registration is a contract.

Now, someone has put a contract under your nose and suddenly you wonder whether your being a minor has any significance.

It does. And it did when you registered the domain name.

MrDude, quickly tell your folks to retain Mr. Berryhill for you. :-D

Just transfer the domain to Yahoo. Change all of the registrant contact information, unlock the domain, and ask them to request a transfer. The registrant info should read:

Yahoo! Inc.
701 First Avenue
Sunnyvale
CA
94089
US
[email protected]
+1.4083493300
Fax- +1.4083493301

 

[MrDude]

how would I ask them to do that?

Best advice. Reply to the email you received. Tell them to request a transfer. Since they will be the admin contact, they can approve the transfer. This also takes care of any scam attempt.

 

[MrDude]

there seems to be no reply from the email address they used
I replied to the email the 1st day of receiving the email.
Any other email addresses anyone know for yahoo?

I have updated the whois but unsure of who to email now

Email address message came from:
[email protected]

 

[ParkQuick.com]

Try emailing [email protected]. I wouldn't worry too much if they don't reply. If the email you got has a mailing address you could also write them there.

If someone want to see full doacuments including full list can download it here:

Some domains are wonderfull traffic ones, some people will be sad

 

[MrDude]

Yeah I took a look, I feel sorry for the person at the top with over 100 yahoo names hehe. I will email domainadmin and call yahoo, if no luck I will snail mail!

 

[MrDude]

Got an email from them asking I unlock the domain, they have initiated a transferr request so looks like it should work out fine.

 

[Jacksplat]

I dont like the idea of squatting on typos of corps and big biz.. but on the other hand.. Yahoo is a word I've known long before that company was a thought. If they now own the word, shouldnt it be deleted from the dictionary? And where can I buy my own word

 

[Dave Zan]

If they now own the word

They don't. They just don't want others using the word that's perceived to be
infringing their established rights.

Then again, that doesn't stop people like Stelios Haji-Iannou from going after
those whose domain names bear the word "easy".

The domains in question cannot be touched, I own one of the domains in that list and the domain is under legal lock by the court right now pending the decision. There's no need to transfer the name, it will be transferred when the case has been decided anyway. The suit is against the domains itself not the owners, all they are looking to do is get control of the domains, there isn't a possibility for damages to be claimed or any other costs to be incurred.
