Country: | Oh yes you are the boss because in 3 years I never had a problem with domains and I sell to endusers for the most part. Only 1 time I've reg'd (for a mistake) a TM domain but a week later I've dropped the name. Probably you need to do some researches before buy a domain LOL Seriously...be careful before reg a name companies are aggressive these days. |

Country: | Agreed. It is a great shame that DNForum can make the legal threads UN-editable, but cannot see their way to keeping the legal postings private and only accessible to members only. DHforum would be doing a great thing if they did make legal threads private as would mean more open postings without fear of it being used against one. DG |

Country: | I think you sould be worried about having your name in google along with the cybersquatter label Imagine if you're looking for a job in 5 years and prospective employers find out (most likely, they will). The rulings are going to remain online for a long time, possibly forever.

It's also a question of proportion. While there is this atmosphere of "cybersquatter taint" from losing a UDRP, one does need to keep a sense of proportion. If you've had three names challenged out of a portfolio of several thousand, that's not terribly unusual. There are fine and respectable businesses which certainly become engaged in legal disputes and they win some and they lose some - that's what a "dispute" is about. A fine upstanding and respected company like Exxon can contaminate hundreds of miles of wilderness coastline by putting a drunk in charge of an oil tanker. Verizon can seek exemption from liability for participation in criminal activities, which was granted to them. While those examples are extreme, the fact that (a) any business will encounter legal disputes, and (b) nobody prevails all of the time, are normal facts of life. Now, at some point, one may begin to wonder whether that business learns anything, or perhaps is generally ill-motivated, but in the main one would conclude that, for example, Exxon is in the business of selling petroleum products and Verizon is in the business of selling telecom services, and that their failures to be good citizens is not generally representative of who they are.

Country: | You have a good point John. However, responsibility is more diluted within large corporations. On the other hand an individual has nobody to blame for his/her own mistakes.

Country: | What about a case like Nissan It is a shame on Nissan to harass some one like they are doing. Just because they have the money the other may not fight with them and give up I don't think he is a cybersquatter. You my not want to fight a WIPO if you don't have the resources that does not mean you are a cybersquatter.
