Why would not just hand them over. It was obvious. I has some TM problems with some names I bought to use for a companies affiliate program. They *****ed and whined, which really is unfair since I bought them to use them to promote and they did not have the insight to do so. But when it came down to it I just gave it to them. You can't win a clear trademark violation case.

OnlineNic is nowhere to be found.
Seems even members here on DNF that have names there are having a hard time getting hold of somebody.

These names were where behind a "double shell" company (I use that term loosely).

They knew they were wrong now they are running. That's a lot of money...

Yup Verizon shut down the 6 or 7 sites I had related to the google phone and them. Big rookie mistake.
Do not mess with them! Run away!

Verizon is a big one to stay away from, as are some others. This is a good list to take a look at and do your best to stay away from these companies.

TM protection is a major issue for many companies and they've been in the news for this a long time. Domainers with them-- Get those name out now!!! My word of advice --FAST!!!

It goes to show how hard the decision can be when you don't even show up for the procedings.
