You make no sense saying this piracy issue. nothing is being stolen. you argument does not hold any water at all. if we where talking about domains with tubes with their content on them then you would have a point but that is not the case.
well if they wanted the domains so bad they should of registered them ages ago they knew before anyone else what their site names would be and what domains they where using for their sites. they had the money for reg fees. it's bullshit

I wasn't saying THIS is a piracy issue. I was saying that NOW that piracy has done all this damage...many companies for the first time ever had to bring in their lawyers to begin trying to understand the DMCA laws.
Trust me, this was never much concern in the old days.
We mostly all had lawyers to fight the govt. I certainly didn't understand the importance of trademark and what it will mean when all of this piracy is finally laid to rest by new laws that will catch up with technology.
That's all I'm saying. We now all have lawyers telling us to actively protect trademarked domains. That was never the case before. In the past we only were concerned with staying out of jail. lol
I hope that makes more sense. I can't speak for NA or ND. I'm only giving you an educated guess based on what I've been instructed to do by attorneys about my trademarks and what the importance of a properly maintained trademark is going to mean in the future in the battle against piracy.
I wasn't meaning to infer that current affiliates who are domain squatting were responsible for anything like that at all. And I sympathize with their plight. But as I said, it's business. I'm just glad I always built my own sites (tgps) and never promoted using that method.
