    fuck em, if they are so sure of themselves, tell them to file a UDRP.

    a couple other companies in adult try to threaten lawsuits to take domains i doubt they would get in an UDRP dispute.

    Kink should be focusing on their piracy problem, i see their content EVERYWHERE, more so then brazzers' even.

        as the word KINK is a dictionary word describing strange sexual behavior, that would be an uphill battle, even if you were promoting their competitors they can not protect their name if its a common word or noun.

        kind of like how windows sued and lost over the use of their name, which is a simple noun as well.

        kink has some good attorneys i would imagine, hopefully they have thought of this.

                    It looks like Kink is getting desperate to retain cash.

                    You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

                        For programs that were developed in the last 5+ years, we have a zero tolerance policy regarding domains that dilute the TM and brand. What affiliates/partners are encouraged to do, is simply transfer the domain ownership to the programs holding company. In return they are granted exclusive license to use the domain when sending traffic exclusively to the program.

                        Generally speaking, if you have been an affiliate of Kink for a long time, and they "tolerated" your having the domain in question for all this time, you can argue that very simple point, during the arbitration that they will drag you into.

                        Hope that helps.

                            I blacklisted Kinkydollars years ago. IMO, they are not trustworthy and I would not recommend them to any webmaster. In the end, usually after you're driving lots of traffic and sales, they will hassle you and find a way to terminate your account. It doesnt make good business sense, but they do it anyway.

                                    Another example of a cash strapped sponsor trying to fuck a hard working affiliate. You put in the work of building a website and direct all traffic to that sponsor, then they want to take it from you for pennies on the dollar.

                                    In the end, both the sponsor and the affiliate are going to lose all the revenue. It's a lose/lose brought upon by a lack of forward thinking.

                                        Never had a single problem with Kink over the years. They've been aces in our books.

                                        We're affiliate #302 - goes to show how long we've been affiliated.

                                                When their legal team ( 1 person btw ) started playing harsh, I even agreed to give the domains ownership to them if I continue to use them by myself alone. The traffic is exclusively to them, I like to separate things. The support knew about the domains since I showed them.

                                                I gave them all the reasons possible, but it seems they love to abuse their upper hand, if I can speak in terms of kink :D I am sure they will love me more when they will see first page ranking in google for a lot of terms going to other affiliate programs

                                                    I remember when if you had any infringing domains of playboy's you wouldnt even get a nice letter offering you money. Just a letter that states give us our domain or get sued. lol

The only way to get a domain from someone infringing on a trademark is opening up an ICAAN arbitration case.

                                                    When you add up the cost of the lawyer to draw up their case and the ICAAN fee's it's probably a $5k ordeal to get that domain should they win.

                                                        From what I have heard Kink is actually closing your affiliate account if you don't sell for the 2x months revenue. That is years of rebills that they practically take from you unless you comply... I believe this just happened to AdultDesigns account when he refused to sell for 2 months income on a revshare account.
