| Gold Lifetime Member | Ohio Attorney General Orders Domains Taken Internet Domain Names for State Senators No Longer For Sale by Dan Weist, Ohio News Network January 24, 2003 The domain names for 9 Ohio State Senators aren’t for sale anymore, at least for the moment. Mark Gribben of the State Attorney General’s office says it’s not legal to use someone’s name without permission. Attorney General Jim Petro issued the order Thursday that Stamper relinquish the internet domains using the senators’ names. http://www.onnnews.com/story.php?record=21764 Jeremy Stamper has so far ignored the warnings from Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro's office that he is violating federal law by registering Web domain names and trying to sell them. Mumper and other senators met Tuesday with Petro, who in an e-mail to Stamper informed him that he is breaking the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act signed into law in 1999. Petro said in the letter that the law requires consent prior to the registration and sale of an individual's name as a domain name. http://www.marionstar.com/news/stori...ws/837505.html These people are public figures, but he did list the domains on eBay. I wonder what power the AG has to take domains from people, withut a court case, under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act? |

| Gold Lifetime Member | Well, the Ohio AG could file a false contact report with Tucows, requesting that the Whois information be updated with accurate contact information for Stamper. Tucows has to place the registrant on notice of the false contact report, and give Stamper 15 days to correct the info before the domain names are deleted. At the same time, the AG's office can also contact the Hotmail Abuse Department and have Stamper's e-mail address revoked. |
