Sedo .mobi Auction: Legal Suit Pending - ALL Original Winners - Join Us Now

[mjnels]

I doubt there will be any lawsuit. It would be funny though. By the time a lawsuit would be settled the value of the .mobis they are fighting for will be worth a lot less. Silly people.

i need to borrow your crystal ball when you're done with it......

Unfortunately there are members here who are so consumed with their own self importance that they post the same watered down excrement every time a particular domain suffix is mentioned. At first reading a few of the posts are funny, the little puns that are there within, but soon, oh so soon, they become as tedious to read as the 1 million digit value of pi.

To clarify the situation, as obviously some members need it clarifying, Sedo/mTLD broke the law. Contracts were formed at the drop of the hammer (end of auction) which Sedo/mTLD have now tried breaking. The plaintiffs in this case base their claims on well established law, laws that have been argued in court many times over the decades. Now the plaintiffs are seeking the names they rightfully own by contract from the vendors. Online transactions are binding in law, whether it is a Sedo auction an eBay auction or an auction on this forum.

I commend all those who are now standing up for their rights under law, and in the long run such a case will clarify that when entering a contract online it is still a contract enforcible by law.

negative people

So to sue someone is "positive", hmmm

denny007 is blowing smoke up his ass about this...

I will bump this thread in couple of month from now, whos smoke blowing from where. But you will not care - there will be no lawsuit and nobody will hear about you again.

 

[Bill Roy]

To stand up for your rights is positive, to let someone trample over you is negative and it just would show that person is without substance!

 

[denny007]

To stand up for your rights is positive

You have no such "rights" on Sedo. Read the TOS. Would be good to see the lawsuit result, pitty there will not be ANY...

 

[Bill Roy]

Denny,

Rights are given in law, not by companies. Only idiots and fools accept that companies decide the law. But then again as you which to bring in Sedo's TOS then please show us all just what section of the TOS takes away the right that you speak of? I await your reply, just copy it and post it here!

We await avidly your expert response.

 

[denny007]

Oh you can speak whatever you want. But you have no chance in a lawsuit:

Sedo acts here neither as a buyer nor seller, neither as a lessee nor lessor, nor as the representative of any of the above-mentioned parties. Within the scope of the basic Domain Database Service, Sedo does not act as an auctioneer or as a broker.

Denny, many courts have found that simply stating you are not responsible does not release you from responsibility.

 

[acronym007]

Denny, many courts have found that simply stating you are not responsible does not release you from responsibility.

Agreed. In addition, anytime anyone pays for a service/product the person or company being paid has obligations to provide that service or product. Sedo is not a free service.

Pitty there will be NO COURT to decide this case...

I agree here too, to sue Sedo would be very difficult but not impossible.

 

[denny007]

Also company has rights to RETURN MONEY if under cirucmstances is unable to deliver the products or whatsoever. Penalty for non-delivery is not DEFAULT but must be contracted, IMHO. I am no lawyer, just common sense, law in the USA is not much common sense, thats true, but the question is - who runs Sedo.com ? Sedo USA OR Sedo Germany ?

 

[Bill Roy]

In an international case the 'plaintiff's' can issue proceedings in any of the following:

1) Where the plaintiffs reside or conduct business
2) Where the contract was formed
3) Wherever the respondant carries on business or has offices or is registered.

That is the law.

Anyway, the initial claim by the plaintiffs is against mTLD for the domains, not Sedo, but the same still applies.

These bidders had NO RELATIONSHIP with MTLD whatsoever. Or had they ? Was there any contract between bidders and mTLD ?

 

[DTalk]

(sigh)...poor denny....knows so little about all this....


denny....mTLD explicitly auctioned those names under Sedo TOS....All I will say (for legal reasons) is that the same TOS defines the relationship between the Seller (mTLD) and the Buyers (Bidders)......and defines precisely the obligations between buyer & seller, in just such circumstances as occurred...


In short, YES, of course there was a relationship between bidder & seller (mTLD)....and the obligations are clear between them in exactly the circumstances that happened.

.

 

[denny007]

Blah blah blah, there will be NO LAWSUIT anyway...

 

[Bill Roy]

Denny, can I ask seriously, are you feeling OK at the moment?

Do you know actually know anything about law of contract or auction law?

Is it your opinion that when a contract is formed it can just be broken by one of the parties?

Denny, go to the local library, pick up a couple of law books and start reading about contract law, then come back and put reasoned points not just the rubbish you are spouting at the moment!

I doubt I will respond to any more posts by Denny, it is in my opinion, his attempt to keep posting absolute rubbish to get his posting rate up. Feel sorry for the guy.

 

[denny007]

auction law?

WTF - AUCTION LAW ? Why should Sedo give a fok about some AUCION LAW ? They are not an auctioneer. Nor is Namejet, Afternic and other sellers...

Is it your opinion that when a contract is formed it can just be broken by one of the parties?

THERE WERE NO CONTRACT

his attempt to keep posting absolute rubbish to get his posting rate up

Yup, collecting DNF$ so I can upgrade to Moderator.

 

[Dave Zan]

Top legal advice agrees with me/us.

I'm sure they do. But isn't that one of their jobs anyway?

I take it you and the others are ready to fight this all the way should a court
of competent jurisdiction rule in Sedo and mTLD's favor? By then, it might be
quite difficult to even remotely acquire those .mobis you supposedly won.

You read that mTLD exercised their right towards Sedo to void this auction,
then start from scratch. I suppose you don't believe Sedo doesn't have the
right to do that to you too, considering it's their resources?

Well, good luck to you. But like I said, I ain't optimistic, and it's not because
I'm a pessimist by nature.

Doesn't take a crystal ball to predict .mobi values falling, just a brain. I see you've accelerated your dumping .mobis pace. :lol:
