| i would like to contribute guys with watever capabilities i have not coz we are domainers but coz this bill is against human ethics. wat i can see is there is a lot of ambiguity as to the tm owners and their corrosponding website they want to own. wat they are saying is.....we want the dot coms n dot nets coz they r similar to our name.........ok agreed they r similar.....but we can tell the senators if this is when we registered our domains we werent told that u would have to give up ur name if it matches someone elses TM,
so now if they want to make that clause n clear things for once and for all....we can prove all the money, time n effort that has gone in bringing those unregistered plots to todays rates.......n hence if ever they want to buy any corrosponding website to their name........pay up all the efforts gone into it.......n then take it........give the market price to the domain owner....eg. if one co. needs say abc.com.......let him pay the owner xxxxxx or xxxxxxx, we just need to justify this value.......how can they take it for reg price.......coz tomorrow if someone has his business name as FUND CONSULTANTS with tm, do they mean to say he can pay a lawyer n get fund.com for reg fee, thats neither rational nor acceptable any ethics, what they mean i feel from wat i have read is corps should b given the domains since they got money......ok domainers r no broke, we can give the senators money n once n for all remove this ambiguity n ask them to state a straight clause that no corp from now on can claim any domain unless they can prove that the domain owner is using their business name and selling things directly using their name......else no further requests from corps will b entertained |
