Jordan Capri Domains

10-27-2006, 12:19 PM

I was reading about this here on the boards, and I think the sad truth is that Steve will never get all those domains if any. Trademark or not. Unfortunately it would cost him more in lawyer fees than it's worth to try and recover them all. It would probably cost about 10X as much as he makes to actually get them.

His best bet is to dispute the domains with WIPO or ICANN.

So Steve I wouldn't get all worked up, it's a problem we all deal with and the actual damages on the average domain (example: jorda-capri-sex-pics.com) is not gonna be much.

I bet you lose a lot more revenue to Zango than all the combined jordan capri domains out there.

i know alot of people that had to give up domain names because the domain they registered had trademarked names in them. don't see how its different for adult. if i was someone who had registered domain names with a trademarked name in them i would contact the owner of the trademark and make a deal with them on how to keep it. 2cents

especially ipod ones. a trademark is a trademark, tangible goods or names, its all the same to the trademark office.

WIPO is for lamers.

If Steve really wants to grab the cybersquatters by the shorties, he will bypass WIPO and go straight to Federal court.

Sue for ACPA statutory damages of $100,000 and legal fees. And get the infringers to disgorge profits.

Sure, the cost is a little more. Do you think Steve has the cash to turn up the heat like this? What do you think?

Datinggold is right, it costs a lot of money for EACH domain, its not like you just show up at the registrar waving your trademark in the parking lot, you need to file like 30 things, lawyer fee's alone per domain is about 5k

If they are sending traffic to Lightspeed and generating sales who cares. This isn't the same as diluting a trademark of say Disney or Sony. This is smut branding at its best (unless the sites are damaging your name in some way). People are doing the branding for you.

Now if someone is leaking traffic or fucking around there are plenty in the 'Lightspeed Patrol' who will email Steve and drop the dime. At that point it would be well worth the effort to swing the legal dick around.

BTW I have been on both sides of the trademark coin so I am not speaking out of my ass. It is a matter of deciding how much these domains are negatively affecting your bottom line & business name and reputation.

We could all spend everyday suing people for this and that. And there are some here that do it. Sometimes it's truly justified and some people get an ego boost pushing people around with the courts. Good for them, I prefer focusing on other things unless the legal avenue is the last option.

BTW Steve when is the next JC video coming out?

I don't see why he would care. It's not like he makes much from them anyway. Just let them send you sales. Worse comes to worse, tell them their accounts have been terminated. I doubt a jordan capri domain has much value if it can't promote jordans site.

Honestly though, just let it go. Make a few extra bucks for everyone. It really isnt going to hurt your profits. I bet you do at most a couple joins a day from those worthless domains like jordan-honeymoon-video.net.

Waste of time and money for whoever bought those, if you ask me.

I don't think Steve has a led to stand on. The name is not even trademarked yet, he only just applied for it last week. Actually it may even look like he is the one trying to do the squatting, since people owned the related domains before he even applied for the trademark. In any case his foolish "marketting" plan didn't work IMO.

I don't think he has the cash to do that. At least not very many times, considering all he gets out of it is a domain worth maybe $20 a year in type in traffic.

Federal Court doesn't do much good if the other party isn't in the US either.

I always thought that trademarks like that could only be enforced if they were advertising for sites OTHER than lightspeed.....
eg: jordan capri domain sending to teendolls or something..
that being said, I don't really know anything about this!

Again, Steve may have a C O M M O N L A W trademark. He doesn't need a registered trademark to sue or to enforce his rights.

I'm pretty sure the lightspeed TOS says that you're not allowed to register domains with the girls names in them, so you're bound by that if promoting LS. And if you're not promoting LS with the domains, aren't they pretty useless anyways?

If you had any ethics you would not buy a url with any of his girls name in them. It is just not good business, and everyone on here can see who they do not want to work with. You do know that someone was using Sylvia Saints name on a url and she went to court and they gave her the url. It does not have to be trademarked.

She's WAY hot (Silvia Saint). I'd give her the keys to my house ... and a baby

Is it Silvia or Sylvia? I've seen both.

All of these threads are good press for both the Jordan Capri and Lightspeed brands.
