If i was you, i will give it to them, and hope they give you something back in return. Just for you saving them court time, and all the bullshit they will have to do to take it.:Graucho

could i get in trouble if i offer it to them for free then if they dont want it, drop it?

now your think like an american :)

Mike, you said this:

" It also wouldn't hurt to contact them and ask them if they'd like to buy it from you."

That is certainly not true.

what are the terms, i was lookin at some receint domain name lawsuits of similar nature didnt come across what the clearly defined terms were

Well since your name isn't Miller they won't apply to you and you probably don't stand a chance.

One term is clear intent on "piggy-backing" their good name for commercial purposes.

You're right

Well the guy did say in another thread

As the owner of licos.com, trypod.com, hotbott.com, nationsbanking.com, wmsn.com, etc I can tell you this:

You cannot knowingly register another companies brand and then try to sell it to them... this is domain squatting. Miller is a beer company and they have the appropriate trademarks. I get away with some of these because they are a radio station, a type of dog, a mispelling for a camera stand, etc. But these companies still tried.

You are asking for it to hold on to this name or try to sell it to them. At best case scenario they are going to take you to ICANN arbitration (which costs them a $10K filing fee) and you will have to turn over the domain. Worse, they could get ICANN to rule that you need to turn it over then sue you for that 10K. Still worse, they can take you to open court (in their home state) and file damages against you.

Once a big company files a lawsuit against you, you are out at least 60K in legal fees. Guarenteed. I went up against Bank of America for nationsbanking.com and won the ICANN suit. I thought I had it made and then B of A sued me in court. I turned over the domain and thankfully they called the dogs off.

50 domain copyright issues...

the fee is only $1,500 you may have legal expenses but the filing fee is not that great.

Personally unless you are a canadian citizen, trying to make money like this just doesn't work because if they wanted the domain all they have to do is run up the legal expenses on you until you are belly up and the will get it.

Under Canadian law the loser pays so we will bury you under legal expenses threat doesn't work.

If you win the icann and they sue they better be sure they have a winning case because if they lose they are paying the legal expenses.

this whole situation is too much of a hassel im gonna email them tomorrow and offer the name to them for free. (hope them hook me up with free beer for being nice but i dont have my hopes up)

asshole i know i wasnt gonna get ten grand i was quotein someone else

Two words if you plan to register and use it.

FORGET IT

Two more words if you are using it and try to profit from it.

BEND OVER

Slam dunk, they win! They can put the junior attorneys on the incident. If they see it, they can take it away from you. Often if you came by the name just tryiing to do your biz, they might throw ya a grand. The case prolly wouldn't even see a court room unless you pissed them off. See the ICAAN rules (link above). MY :2 cents: Not an attorney.
