Personally, I see no logical point to either Fox, or a fansite, getting domains so narrowly specific as "xfilesseason8dvd.com"... that kind of specificity would best be handled by subdomains off a main domain, or even just subdirectories within a site. Like season8.dvd.xfiles.com or www.xfiles.com/dvd/season8/ or something.

yeah, seems dumb...dunno y they just don't do it from xfiles.com, would make more sense. If this guy who brought it wanted to use it for a site, why not just get xfilesdvdreview.com (available) and then you could use it to review ALL the seasons and not just the one in the name. The guy obviously tried it on and never got away with it.

what do u mean? Do you mean how did fox find out? Well, the article says that the way the guy has the domain names worded is how fox has been doing it........so fox were using xfilesseasononedvd.com and so on........and i guess when they went to reg the domain names for season 7 and 8, they found they were taken.
