<<<I thought you said you "need an attorney". If you are making $350 a day, you should have no problem hiring a good one. Good luck.>>>>
I did say that I need an attorney, and I didn't say that I couldn't afford one. The whole point of this thread, was to find an attorney who deals with trademark disputes and domain names, to hire.
<<<<<<<<How do you make money on this site, if you are not charging for the software? If you are distributing pirated software, you could lose much more than just a couple domain names, you could be sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The fact that you are making $350 per day is highly suspicious to me.>>>>>>>>
Is my method of money making relevant? I wasn't asking if anyone thought that I was doing business legitimately, I need help with domain names that are not even similar. That is all.
<<<<<<Kazaa is finally coming after you then? I doubt you have much chance of holding onto the names.>>>>>>
Yes! Doing your homework huh? Wish I had done my homework in highschool, cuz then I would have probably gone to college which would have cost $50k to get a job that paid $30k per year. Anyway, I have some domains that are similar to KaZaA and I know that they can take them, and YES they have every right to and I know that. That is not what I need help with. I need help with the domains that are NOT an infringement on their name.
<<<<<<<<How do you make money giving away software?
Do you charge for access to a website, then "give" away the software? Are you dealing in warez??
How do you distribute software you don't own, yet not charge for it?>>>>>>>
1. That is not the point of this thread.
2. NO and NO
3. I put it on my website.
<<<<<<If "this company" is the one which provides a program, known by a name that doesn't mean anything in any language, and that is downloaded 300 million times annually, then they almost certainly own a trademark.
"How do you make money giving away software?"
Several ways -
1. Bundle it with scumware.
2. Pop-ups and ppc ads on the site, which uses the name as a draw.
3. Charge for support.>>>>>>>>>>>
I have done trademark search and the term kazaa, as of right now is not trademarked. As far as making money, none of the above are correct.
And, I already knew in advance before I ever registered the domains that they would eventually take them. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE I HAVE, I need help with domain names that are not infringing on their "trademark" and what do all of these other questions have to do with that. Yes I can afford an attorney and I thought I would come here to find an attorney who was experienced in this type of thing, I didn't come here to get bashed. Hey if you don't want my money, I am sure I can find someone who does.
Please stick to the topic at hand, which is the fact that a company is trying to take domains that are not similar to theirs and do not infringe on any trademark. One is actually an incorporated business. The domains that are an infringement should be taken away from me, and rightfully so. I agree with this, but my business practices have nothing to do with these other domains.
Thank you.
