 | Mr Prince I did not see the Mr Prince case but if Mr Prince is not Prince the singer then I assume Mr Prince wasn't running a music download page at prince.com ? Lee |

| | Found the case I found the case on the Nominet website....this was about spanking those that unduly threaten and bully small peas hoping they can be made mushy and then canned. Good to see Mr Willoughby likes them mushy Lee Just occured to me that the Nominet website has become so over powered with case law one would think that anyone can be an IP lawyer and buy a product from Nominet without needing legal representation....personally I would of slapped all over the Nominet website about gaining independant legal advice before using your mushy pea Lee |

| Nominet Member | If someone was selling my surname for £600 I'd be buying it. £600 is cheaper than a potentially lost DRS case...do the math!

| Member | Yes, they gave me a strange response though after stating the asking price they said if I was affiliated with a company that had a right to the name then they would not be interested in selling to me. If I was to form a company after purchasing the name would I be in breach of anything. |

Sadly this is due to 'brands' not realising that people such as yourself have a right to the name as well. Explain you are just a bloke who wants his surname and sort a deal  | |

| Member | I know it is so unfair that they can hoard such a domain that they have no right to and sell it to you for extortionate prices. |

I am guessing there are companies with the name, other people with your surname etc, why are you the one to hold the monpoly over the domain? Likewise, it is 2008, hardly a first mover?! I am not trying to be offensive, but making the point that for a single name there can be zillions of 'legit' owners based on a pile of variables (a couple outlined above). You are currently in the lucky position that: - the domain is owned by a domainer and thus can be bought (if someone else with an interest in the surname had it , would they sell ?!) - you are aware that it is for sale and thus can act - the price is quite low so it is in reach. cheers, rob. | |
