I guarantee that joe surfer on sharkysreviews.com doesn't know or give a flying fuck who 'sharky' actually is, regardless if the webmaster / GFY community knows.

So, how is the site owner profiting from the alleged illicit use of the name 'sharky'? What is the 'sharky' brand? How does alleged infringement on the name 'sharky' provide any benefit to the site owner? Is there proof of malicious intent in the site owner registering the name 'sharkysreviews' and developing it?

I agree that it would have been a cute PR move for the site owner to sell the domain to sharky, but there is certainly no obligation legally or otherwise. If anything, this thread has given the site more exposure than it would have ever received under normal circumstances, lol.
