For sale on eBay: list of 25M companies that haven?t registered .xxx
http://domainnamewire.com/2012/01/16/ebay-domain-list/
eBay seller priccut88 wants to help you land in legal hot water ? all for a one time payment of just $2,000. The user is selling a list that apparently has 25 million companies that haven?t yet registered their domain in .xxx. Here?s the seller?s description: This is your opportunity to cash in on billion dollar companies that are scrambling to register their domain names that end in .xxx. A recent court ruling has allowed domains ending in .xxx to be valid. With that, corporations ranging from Facebook, Wal-Mart, Google, General Electric, Yahoo, Ebay, etc have all scrambled to purchase their names ending in .xxx. For example, Facebook.com purchased Facebook.xxx. One person has already cashed in by purchasing a corporation name ending in .xxx and the corporation paid $164,000 to get the rights to their name. Oh really? What domain was that? Let me give you some advice: the $2,000 you spend on this list is just the beginning of the cash you?ll shell out once you get hit with a lawsuit. Here?s another smart way to throw money down the drain: register a trademark in .xxx and then list it on eBay for some ridiculous sum. That?s what a Connecticut man did with FoxStudios.xxx. After registering the domain in December he listed it on eBay for a $1.975 million. When you see something like this it?s a pretty good bet the person doesn?t know much about domain name law. Fortunately for this registrant his only penalty will be handing the domain over. |
