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.
This has become about emotions, not logical business sense. LOL
Live Cam Network - three very generic words (like Porn and Nerd) so very hard to trademark.

Plus we are talking about a White Label here. Weren't they (white labels) penalized by Google? So what SERPs value can the domain have?
Oh - and it's a dot net, not even a dot com.

True but what's the cost of going that route?
To me (call me crazy) it's all about the revenue lost. Can it be replaced or replicated with a similar, new domain?

Just saying a lot of drama over a domain that's not unique at all.
But hey, best of luck to everyone involved and I hope it all works out.
