nintendo are extremely aggressive about the pokemon trademark.

I know of other schoolkids that regged pokemon domains and nintendo threatened to sue their parents - end result, parent tell child to drop the domain like a hot potatoe.

If you want to check out a whole heap of pokemon udrp's where nintendo won, go to www.udrplaw.net and click decisions, then enter pokemon in the search box.

pokkemon is unquestionably confusingly similar to the tm pokemon.

If you keep doing this you will easily get sued or something. I don't know much about this, but this would be "cybersquatting" (not domain speculation), what you have been doing, and from what I've read someone can take you to court easily by doing this.. It's nice you've made all the money, but watch out..

 

This kind of deliberate cybersquatting of trademarks gives everyone in the domain business a bad reputation. Thats why the udrp and courts are so biased against domain holders in general.

You might be making profit on those sales, but its actually devaluing the domain market and affecting us all.

Bottom line, deliberate squatting like you have described is nothing short of theft.

Profiting from it doesn't change that fact.

 

At least I hope you made sure in the transfer contract to idemnify yourself from any future claim and damage against the domain.

This post really is in bad taste. You buy typos of kids sites and then try and sell them hardcore porn?

What is the world coming to?
