    Email dispute, semi-legal advice needed!

    I'd play the misrepresentation card with paypal: if people are sending money to [email protected] then they likely think the recipient is connected with that email address/domain. Also, there is an argument about breach of terms as they require: as per their contract definitions:

    Toth v Emirates

    I don't understand your point. The losing party gets to look at the decision and the basis upon which it was made - and if they believe the decision was made in error, they can then pay a relatively large sum to have it corrected. Ergo, they have an expectation of a win - it would be a waste...

    Toth v Emirates

    you're making a straw man argument there - that is not what he said at all that is a correct statement. given the very low ratio of appeals to decisions, appeals themselves don't really shed any light on the efficacy of the drs as a whole. drs appeals are inherently skewed towards cases...

    Toth v Emirates

    why? A DRS appeal is relatively expensive, it follows that appeals are more likely to be filed where there is an expectation of an overturn.

    Toth v Emirates

    I don't see how it would make any great difference unless someone decided to sue nominet and/or the experts themselves. It appears to me that Judge Mann simply said that the courts are not equipped to play the part of an expert in a contract that calls on an expert to make the determination for...

    Toth v Emirates

    just to add, this sums up this particular decision: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2012/517.html - - - yeah, the final paragraph of this decision was: Will be interesting to see the nature of their cross-appeal - and to see the ramifications if they lose that. If a complainant...

    Toth v Emirates

    as afx noted, the DRS isn't the end of the road for a complainant by any means. they can still bring a court case under trademark/passing off law. the emirates case is about whether a court will rule on a DRS case itself (ie declaring if a registration is abusive under the DRS policy) - Judge...

    DRS sting - advice needed

    It sounds like they were just putting out a feeler, and when they got your response they couldn't maintain their cool. The more you wind them up at this point, the more likely they are to file even if there is no real basis under the DRS for them to win. As long as you are using it for its...

    No one talking about DomainSponsor?

    ds introduced a change a few months back where they started applying a "quality" metric - the outcome of which seems to be positive overall.

    No one talking about DomainSponsor?

    It's a matter of fact that they offer different shares - as well as other variations in contract terms that can affect the rpc. Pretty much all companies will negotiate if they want what you have, I know several people who have earned less with a direct contract than they were getting using...

    No one talking about DomainSponsor?

    From what I've seen and discussed, DS's rpc spread seems wider than that of sedo (not uncommon to get $xx clicks through DS) but the 2 click lander vs single click generally carries a cost in terms of CTR. How this impacts rpm varies from name to name but the way ds seems to be almost...

    Lyrics.co.uk

    A big consideration is that few offline businesses achieve the same kind of profit margin you can get with domains so longer multiples can be justified - although this one is a bit of a stretch to justify on multiples especially given the copyright aspect of lyrics.

    Can I opt out of Whois?

    That's a bit like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
