another case of big v small

MWTONLINE · 24-01-2008, 04:04 PM

i think if the guy who owned it had kept it pointing at his own website, he would of been allowed to keep it. Pointing it at a parking page allowed my space to claim that he was abusing their trademark

yes a case of big vs small but he/they did act a bit foolishly in my opinion by parking it and trying to earn money...............

Exactly. He should have thought that one out.

What use was the domain if he didn't park it? Your not going to make money out of it otherwise so may as well of parked it and made what he could before the inevitable? I think pointing it to his own site would of still got him a drs. Would he of lost though?.....

Just remember Game.co.uk and itunes.co.uk...

I think a good appeal would have managed to let them keep the domain...

Interesting quote:

Quote:

To the extent that the pages allude to or contain links to the Complainant’s site, this is a product of the algorithms used by Sedo in putting links on the page for which the Respondent is not accountable. This is not accepted. First, it cannot be the case that the Respondent can avoid accountability for the actions of Sedo for which it would have been responsible if it had taken the same steps itself. The Respondent is the Registrant of the Domain Name and in the ultimate analysis it is responsible for the content which appears on the site. Moreover, the Respondent has been aware of the Complainant’s assertions and concerns since at least May 2007 and has chosen not to change.

It is time the parking companies woke up to this.....because if you really wanted a name you could force a parking page to show infringing adverts using Google Adwords.

definately agreed. Though even so the expert should take into account the categories/subcategories the parking pages were displaying, especially if it was not in the same niche as the complainant. Sometimes the algorithms sneak one past the barriers.

I've forcibly suggested in the past to Namedrive that they look at this. They've implemented some, but the 'pure' ability to selectively display only the ads you want is by request only.

2008 - the year to move away from parking and into direct advertising?

Game was on its way to a DRS Appeal when Game PLC started a passing off action in the High Court. It settled before it reached trial.

I think I'd have tried to find a way to direct the traffic to FaceBook with that one. Would have been funny watching them argue the toss that he was making money from myspace when clearly the traffic was going to another social networking site.
