There was a guy who registered ATI.com (back before they were bought by AMD) and ran a sort of a business selling plastic dog sh*t.. Artificial Turd Industries or something like that. I think he eventually got some money and closed up his "shop" shortly thereafter.
Ah, here he is (assuming he's telling the truth..):
(elsewhere) "They finally settled for a substantial sum...."
"Squatting", indeed.
How can you be insulted by the rantings of an insect?
Thanks, Rich

THAT is exactly what they would like to do. Such "letters" from China are not common, but we have found that those letters are an attempt to get money.

No law. Registrars do not care. ICAN does not care. Absolutely no organization cares and you would be lucky to even GET a response if you contacted all orgs that even seem to have anything to do with registration, use, misuse, etc.

They'll gladly take his money for "services rendered" though.
What a circus.

Well I do not live in Denmark. I seems a bit similar to accusing somebody of sexual abuse after voluntary having sex with the person, like in Sweden that wikileaks guy. Very strange laws.
I know some domains have been sold for milions in the past. If you can guess the name of the next US president... Speculation, I think most possibilities are already taken.
Come to think of it... my time warp:-)

Intel pissed me of some years ago when they started suing every website that had the word 'inside' in it. Like from that slogan 'Intel inside'. When claiming normal words in a language I think things go way too far. I have boycotted Intel for many years for that. Unfortunately they started making better chips than AMD, so I no longer had a choice then :-)

Didn't Sprint lay claim to "Push-to-Talk", or "Push-to-Transmit" at the trademark office? Hell, that lingo's been around since the 60's, at least. Maybe a lot earlier. - Jim can tell us for sure. :)

It has been around longer than the 1960s, it was used in ARRL handbooks from the 1940s.
"Push-to-Talk" has been around ever since I can remember, so WWII or earlier. ...Jim Thompson

The insult of an insect would be a compliment to you, Babbler.
Dear registrant of "throbbingbonerinside.com"....
Come on! It was on the radio on the dinosaur you rode to school every day. ;-)
