Domain Gurus...Please help me, I need your help
Hey All,
I recently purchased a domain name. It turns out that the domain i purchased is also the name of a lawyer that announced she was running for US Congress the day before i bought the domain name. She lives in a different state from me, nowhere near me. The domain name is a very common russian girls name, which is why i purchased it. She has had her law firm contact me and are threatening to sue me if i do not give them the domain name. She is claiming that she announced her bid for US Congress the day before i purchased the domain name and therefor has legal right to own it and can take it from me.
I spoke to them on the phone since they have been faxing me papers telling me to hand over the domain name and i told them no. I currently have it redirected it to a porn site while i am designing the site. she is claiming that I can not do this and is now giving me till March 13 to hand over the domain name or else she will sue me for the domain.
What i want to know is, what are my rights. Do i have to give up the domain name or can i tell her to buy it or tell her no thanks i am making a porn site on the domain....
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
