Mr Lamson,
One might not have thought candy was worth three-million or that business was worth eight-million? I do not believe they were worth that amount. They sold for that much. Things that cost a great deal more than their worth are common. Neither domain is likely to see a ROI.
A domain that is cybersquatted can cost from $1,000 to $100,000 in statutory damages. Read 15:1125 Trademark Infringement (Lanham Act) over and over. Then read Neeley v. NameMedia, Inc. - 5:2009cv05151 USARWES Federal ... There you will see the lawsuit that will eventually end NameMedia's domain speculation and blatant cybersquatting. NameMedia is guilty of cybersquatting two of my trademarked domains. One was a common law trademark that has been used in business with the world's largest retailer. There is no question of law that needs to be tried. The only thing left to be tried is the amount of damages. My Federal Lawsuit was filed as a pauper and was provisionally approved already.
NameMedia Inc. dba BuyDomains intentionally committed the act of cybersquatting against me twice after being made aware that I felt violated. After NameMedia Inc. was advised of my distress and my disability, they sold eartheye for $2,300 after asking me to bid on my own trademarked domain. This sale was disclosed during the IPO that was announced and then retracted. This email dialog will be additional evidence of NameMedia's continued infliction of distress. I will use it to demonstrate a company that has a pattern of aggressive and malicious cybersquatting. Mr Zilinek Esq. told me it was his opinion that my common law trademark was insufficient and would not withstand a domain name challenge before a tribunal, but that I was welcome to bid on the domain.
I can demonstrate that eartheye was sold after I made Mr Zilinek aware of my belief that the domain was mine because of an existing trademark. There is no question that needs to be settled by a jury besides the amount of the punitive and exemplary damages. I have asked for a minimum of ten-million dollars in damages.
Intentional infliction of emotional distress is hard to quantify. Can you prove that I am an InterNIC member like your closing alleges. I have several domains and, even with my with my reduced mental abilities, I do not think I have anything to do with InterNIC. Please do not contact me with a question that a reasonable juror will say demonstrates a further intentional infliction of emotional distress. I have seen two psychiatrist for suicidal concerns. I was admitted to the hospital once by ambulance. I have resolved to remain alive as I am and even without my domain name. I am not sure how much the psychiatrist feels that loss of my domain contributed to my distress. That will be an interesting to ask at a trial. I personally believe that psychiatrist are generally clueless.
I do not feel candy was worth three-million or that business was worth eight-million. A jury may not feel that a multi-million-dollar company inflicting additional emotional damages on a severely brain damaged and paralyzed person who was once a professional using eartheye.com for his photography and SleepSpot.com for his reservation software warrants nine-million and eight-hundred-thousand dollars in punitive damages. SleepSpot was going to quickly displace PriceLine in internet reservations. To answer your malicious email. I say; Who will ever know what it would have been worth?
A client of mine, who I have many invoices with eartheye.com on, donated construction of a handicap accessible house that is worth more than a quarter-million dollars now. There are about fifty businesses who will testify in court supporting my trademark. I will file for a summary judgment leaving only the amount of damages to be argued before a jury.
NameMedia cybersquatted on a pauper and NameMedia cybersquatted on a giant. You already lost to Cargills Inc. at a tribunal but are apparently thumbing your nose at them. With a seven-billion per year cash flow, it is hard for me to imagine that they won't testify supporting me during my punitive damages hearing. I do not need to imagine because I have contacted them today and legal there will call me back.
In case my disclaimer is overlooked in the normal course of your email reading, I want to let you know that I am severely brain damaged. I am not sure how much the results of my dealing with the stress and emotional damages that I felt when NameMedia intentionally ransomed my domains contributed to my divorce. I know that it did. The punitive and compensatory damages of losing a spouse and the loss of intimacy will be for the jury to guestimate. I am not sure how much the intentional emotional damages caused by NameMedia affected my suicidal tendencies. I am also not sure how much the intentional emotional damages caused by NameMedia affected my loss of a relationship with my two oldest children. That will be for the psychiatrists to guestimate. NameMedia was not responsible for me losing my legs or for causing my stroke. NameMedia had no responsibility for my paralysis or my severe TBI. NameMedia is directly responsible for my loss of income in commercial and artistic photography. NameMedia is directly responsible for my loss of two domains although I notified them of the situation!
I AM ANGRY AND DO NOT EVER WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EXCEPT IN SETTLEMENT OFFERS. LETS START IN EXCESS OF THREE-MILLION DOLLARS.
Please make it a priority that I am not contacted again with a question about domain name value AGAIN. That is exactly why you are now defendants. You talk a lot about SEO?
Google:
BuyDomains eartheye
NameMedia lawsuitNameMedia IPO lawsuit
NameMedia
Erik Zilinek
Peter Lamson - - twenty years experience? Hmmm
I do not use Yahoo, but still:
BuyDomains eartheye
NameMedia lawsuit
I hope to more than decimate your company incomes for a year. I would actually prefer to see NameMedia's executives in prison for five years. Would any of you invest in a company without Googling their name+IPO+lawsuit? NameMedia IPO lawsuit I save you the typing.
My losses that were intentionally inflicted by NameMedia after CONSIDERATION by their legal was many millions of dollars. Had Polanski not settled his lawsuit for 500,000 and a promise of silence from his rape victim. he would have been serving a life sentence. This act that NameMedia took against me will probably result in a bankruptcy. Maybe you will sell worthless stock first in the domain name frenzy you create by making names the next get-rich-quick scheme. I hope everyone in America is made aware of the way you distressed me on purpose!
I repeat......I AM ANGRY AND DO NOT EVER WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EXCEPT IN SETTLEMENT OFFERS. LETS START IN EXCESS OF THREE-MILLION DOLLARS.
This will join my NameMedia BLOG. Email is NEVER private. LEAVE ME ALONE! I will be contacting my local prosecuting attorney.
