Some people are so stupid it gets funny. Here's another. Maxwell Productions, run several sites, including one that caught my attention: thehunyellowpagetgp.com. Obviously this name infringes on a trademark, so I write the fellow about this:
Please stop serving the domain thehunyellowpagetgp.com for it?s infringing on a registered trademark. I am the owner of The Hun?s Yellow Pages at www.thehun.net
I get the following reply:
How so.
hey would you like to buy the name.?
Haha... Ok, you have to give the guy credit for his resourcefull ways to raise money. Anyway, my reply:
No, I?d like it to be closed down. I own a trademark for that name. This e-mail is to give you a chance to close it before I start legal action...
Now it gets better. Here's his reply:
or what name thehun... the name of the site is not thehun the name of the site is thehunyellowpagetgp do you also have a trademark for that name as wee or do you think the ANY word containing the letters thehun is owned by you.
And then another e-mail straight after that:
how about thehungreychildrenoftheworld.com go away or purchase the domain. im asking a reasonable price.
And this guy is trying to do business in the Adult Internet World (
http://www.pornwebhost.com,http://stealth.wcivr.com)... This guy has 24 hours. I'll then send my attorney after him. He's from the US, phonenumber, address, everything is on file here. Funny this guy does not realise the hight of the penalties for a trademark violation. He suggested I'd pay him instead of spending more money on an attorney. Since this case is chrystal clear I don't really mind putting up the money, I know I'll get it back at his expense anyway. What a guy. Fun to see there's still people around that are this stupid. Pity I have to waste time on people like these though. Maybe I should set a presedence with this guy. Legal action will get him in a lot of problems. I think that's a very severe punishment for stupidity. But some people just won't listen...
