Thirsty for a lawsuit?

[Andrew Shaw]

Looks to me like a mistake on behalf of the seller.

Intent to profit from a TM? No Way!

Its mind-boggling that this guy thinks he could get away with this.

 

[Andrew Shaw]

Well, he will without a doubt. But it only takes one person for microsoft to make an example out of. I personally wouldnt go about it the way he did is all im saying.

How can someone with such a positive feed back risk tarnishing it with such a silly act?...It's stupidity at the highest level and greed....

He is only shooting himself in the foot....

Some people are really asking for it.

As far as I know, Vista is not a tm - but coupled with "Windows" it's the fastest way to a UDRP.

Yes, though not a UDRP in this case, rather an example of auction website monitoring and takedown. See:

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2006/aug06/08-22domaindefense.mspx

"Lastly, Microsoft is working to aggressively halt online auctions of infringing domain names. With increasing frequency, people purchase a domain name and, if it generates a compelling amount of traffic, resell the domain name for a profit. To address the problem of domain auctioneering, Microsoft will expand its systematic searches of such auctions and seek to have them removed from the auction Web site."

ruh roh..I wonder what is the legality of companies like snapnames auctioning off TM domains for a sometimes very hefty profit?
