ICM busted attempting to auction trademarked names
 

"The Whois record for twitter.xxx currently suggests that the domain has been held by ICM as a "premium" name that will be auctioned in future. ICM told us, however, that the data is wrong, and that it has no plans to sell off Twitter's name"

They've pulled the page.

The reg is a shit source for news.

No really? ICM pulling shady shit? I'm shocked I tells ya;)

Rogue employee.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

The investors need to make their money back..

:thumbsup

I could get behind that.

The trademark is in motion.

What's shady about that?

:thumbsup

can someone use tweet.xxx with a simular set up to twitter?

a twitter.xxx would be cool for all involved. models could post nudes, or whatever, i'm sure fans would love that.

yes, i think it could be a good idea

It Should be a crime to sell a trademarked name:2 cents:

ICM have no problems infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others.

Models already post nudes on twitter.com via twit pic and others. Twitter is wide open for porn.

I agree on that.

It wasn't supposed to be a carbon copy.

lol..:Oh crap
