I'm not condoning TheDynasty's behavior, but Mark's "Live Cam Network" could hardly be characterized as well-known. The Alexa for livecamnetwork.com is 6,474,790, so the site likely gets about 15-20 visits a day. Secondly, I personally consider "Live Cam Network" as a descriptive term. It's not distinctive like Streamate. Descriptive terms carry far less trademark protection than distinctive terms or arbitrary terms like "Apple". Unless Mark has a registered trademark, I don't recommend filing a UDRP or URSS, as it would likely fail and be a waste of money.
