I received an email and a typed copy of the letter a few days ago.. and it does appear that IdeaFlood has now surfaced.
It seems that the targets might be anyone who is using a subdomain rather than just the company providing the DNS.
Which means many people can be targeted for "contributory infringement".
I had seen a mainstream article that was talking about a subdomain patent, and now i get the connection that it's the same company.. targetting both adult and mainstream.
Technically, the "www." part of a URL is a subdomain, so maybe everyone that has a website is infringing
If you have been hit with a similar letter, feel free to contact me so i can help to connect people together.
If you have received a letter, it's best to let an attorney handle the correspondance (doesn't have to be a patent attorney at this stage, just someone that will make them explain how you are infringing), rather than you talking to them directly.
