      There is no such thing as a default subdomain. "www" has to be put into the DNS and webserver config as a sub-domain. If it wasn't put in, then only the domain name can be pulled up and you wouldn't be able to reach the site via www.domainname.com.

      I setup wicked-angel.com as a example.
      With "www": http://www.wicked-angel.com
      Without: http://wicked-angel.com
      Clips4Sale.com

          No, you can setup a website to just be http://domain.com

          WWW part is what people have been trained to type in.

          I have read where some people thought typing www. was redundant and therefore didn't put in DNS entries to map WWW. to their IP when a surfer typed it in.

          You need to put in a DNS entry to map WWW.domain.com to the correct IP. Same true if you were doing mail.domain.com, etc


          What remains to be heard are the patent infringement claims.

          Those that received the letters need to have an attorney get that information, since their first letter was to just respond within 20 days of receiving notice.

            CaveCreek?
            ?
            Most likely none of us =)

            as far as i understood the patent is targeting companies that offer automated subdomain hosting with wildcards...Sent to legal to get a more indepth understanding just in case.

                Larry Walters has been banging his head against the wall for so many years, warning webmasters about 2257 issues, government prosecution, etc.. more so than the 14 posts his stats show.

If CuteFTP had a log that included when I last logged into a server I MIGHT have proof of when I used one of them. There were several other free hosts I used back then with subdomains that I still have in my CuteFTP. Anyone know anything about CuteFTP logs? Does it log the time/date of your last login?

                          Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't the Wayback Machine (archive.org) be effective for this? For example: archive.org has archives of chat.yahoo.com dating back to December 1997. Wouldn't this essentially be a prime example of prior art? Or no?

                                              anyone who makes a stupid patent like that should be shot, and any judge who allows it should be thrown out

                                                Is there a law against abusing the patent system?

                                                If not, then they need to make one.

                                                People like this need to be forced to pay huge fines.

                                                          Looks like they're talking about Hustler Larry. Just in case somebody comes up with the wrong Larry like I did.

                                                                    Doesn't this apply to FTP sites as well? If that's the case, you can probably find prior examples of this sort of thing going back decades...

                                                                              Shouldn't be too hard, I found my personal web page (which is on a subdomain) on web.archive.org. Unfortunately it was first indexed in December 1998. I am sure there are plenty of other sites that existed before then which can be verified with the wayback archive.

                                                                              edit: here you go.

                                                                                Is there no one in the patent office who is at all up to date with technology? How can they approve patents on things they do not fully understand, shouldn't there be someone to at least search for prior art as far as technology is concerned? It's not like the internet was a new thing in 1999.
