Indeed.

Where is a MOD when we need one? Where is a decent TOS when we need one?

This is a case of another famous registered trademark being offered for sale, and yet another thread to prove that DNF is the marketplace of choice for cybersquatters.

ESSO= Every Stinking Syberquatter Online

Would be nice to end a thread here before posting to eBay - no excuse for poor manners...sheeeesh

If eveyone knows this is a TM - and who doesn't? Then it is buyer beware - not seller under the gun.

You guys have your priorities mixed up. Only children and morons would not know that the use of a TM...oh wait, I think I understand.

Shouldn't it only be considered cybersquatting if the owner of the trademark doesn't already own their primary domain (read: .com)? I mean, it's not really cybersquatting if you own the .net, but ESSO already owns the .com. This is like saying that every trademarked company should be able to own EVERY TLD for their trademark (which mosts decide is not necessary). What is the purpose of the lesser TLDs (.net, .org, .cc., etc.) if not to give the Internet some diversity? By allowing someone else the opportunity to own their own acronym (the East Springfield Sewing Organization, for instance) as a .net or .org is the very basis for even having multiple TLDs in the first place -- and should not be considered cybersquatting. Of course, this breaks down as the length of the domain increases (i.e., owning disneyworld.net is a bit different, since the chances of having an acronym that is 11 characters long that matches d.i.s.n.e.y.w.o.r.l.d. is much lower than a 4 character acronym like E.S.S.O.)

Anyway, that's just my $0.02.

BTW, Manu, have you even RECEIVED a C&D letter for this domain?

 

[Manu]

I haven't received anything - and sure purchase the domain at your own risk - i'm not making anyone BUY it ?

You have to chuckle...
