Just got an email from CitizenHawk
 

Hi

I just got an email from CitizenHawk saying that I have a domain that is similar to someone else and said that I must now transfer the domain to them......

What do you make of this?

Thanks

Umm.. When did you register the domain?

2010..............................................

is it an infringement on an existing brand - yes or no?

I does not look like it from my point of view:

Here is an example:

They got lets says: proshirts

I got: droclothes

have you sent them email and tried to communicate? now, if they are just a middle men, they will not talk, right ... that is what i call parasite ... :2 cents: and stupid move from the company, if they didnt tried to contact you before :2 cents:

I have not emailed them back yet

The plaintiff has never contacted me before....

Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If the answers to ALL 3 of these questions are YES you lose.
A complainant in a UDRP proceeding must establish three elements to succeed:

1. The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights;
2. The registrant does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the domain name; and
3. The domain name has been registered and the domain name is being used in "bad faith".

This is only domain arbitration. Damages, if they can be proven, are a separate issue in the Courts.

so i see, to them have been in last time transferred for example domain mprweb.net, if i go to url, it send me to prweb.com with some affiliate id, if i go to mprweb.com, it is totally different site, but if i go to prweb.net, it redirects me to prweb.com without an affiliate code. so, that prweb.com company have been going after cybersquatter with mprweb.net? oh, man, come the fuck on ... ? :helpme :throwup :upsidedow
