Girls Gone Wild lawyers are trying to stronarm me into giving them my domains (for free) because they claim it's too similar to their company and what it offers. Any ideas on the legalities of this situation. Personally, I'm about to tell them to fuck off.
Before telling them off (I would too), let's talk about volume. Check how much traffic and money your making from these domains versus the cost of even talking to a lawyer. If your making just a little cash from the domains, tell them they can have the domains but they'll need to pay the costs for transferring. Even though they say they won't, they will. They're not going to sue over a small fee and they'll absorb it. If a majority of your signups are coming from these domains, then talk to a lawyer.
