I am not a lawyer. I am a photographic artist. BACK

I am facing NameMedia in Federal Court Pro Se.

I will easily win. I complained to their legal department about my TM that they were cybersquatting.
They replied that they would not honor a common law TM.
It is not like THIS case because usually even a single letter is not enough of a similarity to confuse.

NameMedia once cybersquatted Cargills.com
Cargill.com is the singular TM.
This use of the plural or possessive 'S' was not enough to trouble NameMedia.

The fact that NameMedia was running ads that could be competitors ads was the reason they lost before a tribunal. I sued NameMedia for cybersquatting and intentionally inflicting emotional distress after their attorney, Erik Zilinek, considered my request and rejected it as insufficient. I can demonstrate an attempt to retrieve the TM. I believe my case will end righted in District Court.

The ACPA's intent was to prevent people from making outrageous profits by registering domains and "warehousing" them and my lawsuit will end all businesses like NameMedia's.

The possessive S and NameMedia? Hmm

Look at NameMedias.com

Erik Zilinek is their attorney and was looking at the massive closed thread about my lawsuit HERE earlier today. I saw ezilinek there at 4:31 CST SEE. I am not settling for less than several million, but I have asked for 10 million. I am also seeking to have the registrar who sold it originally added although their unintentional act may resolve better separately.

Public disclosure of expiration dates is wrong and is how businesses like NameMedia exists.

A badly needed amendment will soon require a good or a service to be provided outside of the service of serving potentially relevant ads to allow a domain to be registered. I will seek that no domain name registry expiration dates be published in the future.

I will also ask that Google be required to blacklist ad sites like NameMedia makes. If it requires adding Google as a co-conspirator, I will do it. The issue might need to be independent of trademarks but might also work as an ACPA amendment?

No demonstrative intent to use a domain in commerce outside of third-party ad-serving within X weeks creates a liability for infringement or liability for a fine for the prior registry of a desired domain that a Bona Fide business owner now desires to use in commerce for a good or a service.

Wait till ezilinek faces that. POOF! No more NameMedia.

I have asked that he not message me so I will not send it to him. I will hear from him in less than twenty days now.

NameMedia felt confident enough to challenge Cargill, Inc. for Cargills.com before a UDRP. EBookLover is much more protected. He can keep his domain and won't lose it in court. He can just create a vanity email or other. I once met with Disney to look into providing an online reservation service through SleepSpot.com it was going to generate millions in fees each year.I was going to work in concert with Disney.

It is just a third-party advertisement cybersquat site now. SleepSpot.com I have several witnesses who will testify that I was certain SleepSpot.com would make me a millionaire from 2000. That is about nine million, but I would still have preferred to make it outside of court.
