| Re: This guy STOLE My Domain
Sweet -
Domain names are really "service agreements", not property, and if you're not able to participate in a agreement, you have no contract, and in the fine print of the domain name agreement I suspect it falls under control of the registrar.
Your inability to sue because of your age does not change the statute of limitations. If it's too late, it's too late.
Another thing to consider is that if you really sue them, they'll likely countersue you for the trouble that you caused, and all legal fees. This varies a lot depending on the state with jurisdiction - in most states your PARENTS can be forced to pay. In some states, such as New York, YOU will be held liable for up to 20 years for actions taken as a minor.
The $5,000 is just a starter. If you go to trial, you'll have to pay the expenses of travelling to the city where it will take place, probably many times, and the cost of having your lawyer do so. Are you able to spend $100k or more on this? Are your parents willing to risk their assets in this?
