    Dell Refused To Spend $750 A Month On Adamo.com

    Here's the link....

    His ad agency Enfatico LLC doesn't have a clue but Michael Dell seems to get how valuable domains are. Kudos to him for buying adamo.com.

    He needs to pass this down to his managers. The two that I interviewed with treated me like I was scum of the earth for being a domainer a few years back.

    Cybersquatting?

    "Yummy Domains General Manager Bill Sweetman said he initially approached Dell in February, about three weeks before the launch. Yummy Domains had noticed a spike in traffic after Dell gave a preview of the Adamo at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, he said.

    He offered to lease the name to Dell for $750 per month or sell it for an undisclosed amount."


    Isn't that cybersquatting? I thought if you approach a trademark holder and offer to sell them their trademark it's called "cybersquatting." What am I missing here?

    When the names is owned prior to a product going mainstream and or not known publicly yet it is not cybersquatting.

    Domain has history dating back to 1996; no bad faith here. Also seems that the seller is more reasonable than some on the forum

    i can understand why $750/month forever was not agreeable. this article has kind of a lame spin on it imho.
