Wow, what a collection. They sure didn't target anything less than A-grade names. Great to see nameinvestor that some resolution is on the way, but is deletion the fairest solution for the former registrants, given that some never received e-mail notifcation for renewal of the names?

I'm wondering whether the non-receipt of a renewal notice is grounds for complaint and repatriation of a name, or whether the onus is on a registrant to check for expirations, and therefore renewal notices are not an essential legal part of a domain registration agreement?

 

I developed it myself. I got all his thefts and I think I have his real name now.

 

Fizz,

That is just the tip of the iceberg, hundreds have been stolen.....

Thanks for the heads up, askii. On the internet, you cannot afford to keep your eyes wide shut.

but if dotregistrar says its going to delete all these names, won't dotregistrar just be sneaky and drop the names to insiders ?

i recall emailing whomever had athlete.com and recreation.com a long while ago and neither email got thru (was bounced back) I would imagine that the registrants didnt keep their info up to date. Hate to play devil's advocate here, but doesnt failure to keep contact information current void the contract with a registrar ? I didnt keep one of my domains emails up to date a long time ago and i lost my domain to someone trickign verisign, but when i told veriisng i never go tan email because my email address wasnt current, they told me that i had voided my contract by not keeping info diligantly up to date. And my lawyer agreed with them...hmmm

ps. the info on eye.com looks funny too . It was up for renewal in May by a company that had owned it in usa since 1990 and now it says it belongs to someone in HK since 1990. ???
