I bought a name of someone here on my island (Curacao); he is track & field athlete. (www.churandymartina.com)
This happened 30th July 2006, today I get a letter from his lawyer that I have to transfer the domain to his client and they told me to take down the site and keep it down, so I did that. But my question about giving him the URL.
I had the site up with some pictures of him doing track & field and a link to some career stats. So I was actually promoting him and not using it against him.
I had no problem with giving him back the url, but the way they did it by sending a lawyer to me and telling me I have to transfer the domain name to his client in 3 days (Which is not possible anyway, due to the domain name has to be 60 days old before I can do a transfer) and I need to pay for the transfer and I have to pay the legal fees about $550.
Friends tell me he has no shot getting back the URL from me and that I can keep it; just I can not use it again. Is this true? I did some research and I am not sure what chances I have.
I know it is his full name and I registered it, what are the chances for me to keep this URL; can I start an Unofficial Homepage for him?
Or should I just return him the URL and forget about it?
Thanks for any help. Here on the island I have no idea what chances I got and not planning to get a big high price layer (yet).
