Good luck with that.

By the way, brush up on your legal-eze. Your reply to him makes you sound like an idiot trying to sound lawyerly.

Let's get something straight. I could give a fuck who he is, I don't care what he owns. He means nothing to me. He may intimidate the smaller guys and best wishes to him.
Useless Warrior for the record I am not attacking you on a personal level. I am able to take suggestive criticism just fine. All I ask is make sense when giving your opinion.
Although don't tell me 'who he is' I could give a fuck. If you want to be knocked down to as peon level from his marketing skills then I feel sorry for you, but I will not be intimidated by such arrogance.
Don't be the kid on the short bus always getting his ass kicked.

The fact is he is saying our domain name sextubeland.com is infringing upon his trademark.
Maybe I am mistaken but clearly from http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html it does infact state a domain name can not be copyrighted.

Again, I am not looking for replies such as 'Who I am dealing with' or 'How much the said party owns'. It's not a question of who they are and what they mean to the industry its a question of right and worng.

If I am wrong then lets here some facts if you don't have anything intelligent to say they please keep it to yourself.

If that was a board rule, you wouldn't be allowed to post.

I told you who you were dealing with because, if you were mature, you'd want to know. He's not some small-time webmaster pulling a stunt or trying to bully you, and he is MUCH more aware of his legal rights than you are. You proved that by replying to him yourself in that horribly bastardized attempt at legal speak.

The fact that you reacted in such a child-like fashion, and basically told Shap to suck your cock on the index of sextubeland.com proves that you are in way, way, WAY over your head.

If I were a betting man, I'd place my wager on Shap taking that stupid domain from you.

Pull your head out of your ass so you'll begin to realize that there's a difference between a copyright and a registered trademark.
