Thanks, XanX --- Everything I've stated is fact. My former registrar is being very cooperative with me in getting additional information; which is how I found out that America Online has seemingly abused their powers as a registrar, & the tools that they possess to initiate domain transfers, to illegally intercept & transfer these domain names away from me --- doing so by bypassing me so that I would not dispute or know about the attempted transfer until it was too late & they had possession of the domains & they'd locked them (which is where I am now). I know I have a good case against them, as this shit is just wrong; but considering the power AOL has I don't want to go into this without an attorney not afraid of AOL or the publicity this case would get if they're not allowed to simply get away with this again. I'm definitely initiating a complaint with icann that AOL abused its powers as a registrar to obtain these domains illegally; but I'm told it isn't likely Icann is going to have the balls to take action against AOL (as they've done this before), although they (AOL) should have their rights as a registrar taken away. That being the case, I'm assuming an injunction against Icann will have to be filed to FORCE them to act against AOL & have their registrar ability removed so they can not continue to simply TAKE the domains from others that they want. This is just insane, they have billions --- why do they need to STEAL domains?

I don't understand the earlier individuals statement about damages only being limited to $15 per domain. This goes beyond that. They're cybersquatting a domain they had no right to. It is THEY who are cybersquatting on ME, not the other way around. Plus, they are trying to use their power to FORCE out or ROB my ability to use the domain as I fully intended (thus restricting trade & monopolize on their ability as a registrar; using it in a way it was not intended or given to them). As I've said, THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED & I WANT TO BE THE LAST PERSON THEY EVER HAVE THE BALLS TO TRY TO DO THIS TO AGAIN. I want them to know they are not above approach & folks like us are onto & watching them.

Thanks for Gary's name, BigLou, I'll try to find a way to contact him. I have had someone tell me about the Sex.com thing; but this is outright theft & corruption by a corporation --- AMERICA ONLINE! I don't think they want the publicity this is going to get them, but I'm not going to shut up. Somehow, hopefully with some of the guidance or suggestions I obtain here on how to best deal with this, this is the last time we'll get fucked by the likes of AOL or those companies that think they can just screw us & do what they want & we'll just take it. Well, I've had enough --- and when I get fucked, I at least want a kiss. They could've done this the right way, but they chose not to.

If any of you have heard of similar incidents by AOL, like the other 2 mentioned (whom I am going to try to contact & join in a suit if possible), I'd appreciate it. Also, please tell as many people as you know about this. Someone may be able to help or be helped by this as well. I just (basically) want AOL to be forced to publically face what they've done. Where's that hungry attorney wanting to chew AOL a new ass? This is just wrong.
