Dirty work for Hasbro or for someone else?

 

[cluelessdomainer]

yes, i saw too that it was owned by hasbro. I have been studying!

 

[cluelessdomainer]

i bet hasbro also has a trademark so they might get it back. kinda like how i think edmund was gotten back.

 

[draqon]

well unless Hasbro has something to gain by this domain being registered by some domainer, which is obviously not the case, i would say its dirty work for someone else.

well, i mean that NSI is up to something dirty, because this domain was definetely renewed by Hasbro. I don't know why they deleted it, but I don't approve, because like i said, Hasbro renewed the domain.

I ask about wipoing stolen domains in order to recover them because one of the domains i wanted to buy was stolen from the original owner before i could contact the person. i was interested to know if the original owner could WIPO the thief and thus recover the stolen domain, even if NSI was acting apathetic.

[cluelessdomainer]

many of us contacted the previous owners of stolen names, that does NOT give us the right to wipo for it and claim it for ourselves. as a teacher you should know better ethics.

 

[INFORG]

I was watching the scrabble.com domain also - It was renewed. Not sure what is happening now - maybe Netsol forgot to cash the check?

 

[draqon]

Reading Draqon's posts more carefully = good

WOW!

This must be black magic. To grab a domain, now when Verisign doesn't process *any* drops.

Needless to say, that the whole info is bogus:
at least the ZIP code of Berlin is totally wrong.

well the registrants email is <name> @ berlin.com - maybe they also own berlin.com maybe why they put Berlin ?

But yes a very good catch only an impeding lawsuit might not make it look favourable - altho why the name was dropped is a BIG mystery - the quicker NSI is stripped of managing TLD the better
