one of my websites, Always On Live - Cams (www.aol-webcams.com) is now being threatened by some attorney from aol.
To sum it up, the letter says that AOL is an internationally known company and is very famous and the AOL mark is recognized by consumers as a distinct symbol of the company's goodwill.
The letter also says that AOL recognizes that my site has links to pornographic materials and strongly objects to such content. Says my actions are likely to confuse consumers into believing AOL endorses or is affiliated my site.
Says my actions violate the Anticybersquatting Protection Act, which provides statutory damages of between $1,000 and $100,000 per domain.
Says that they want me to sign an agreement to transfer my domain name to them.
Says I am using their marks(AOL, and or trademarked graphics).
My site looked nothign like an AOL site and specifically stated at the bottom of each page that aol-webcams.com was not affiliated with AOL, AOL-Time Warner. That aol-webcams was an abbreviation for Always On Live webcams.
Only people that are well knowldeged with this situation reply.
It is to be noted that aol-webcams never looked anything like any AOL sites, and never had any graphics or color scheme similiar to theirs.
