I registerd www.yahoocares.com. I think it could be a total joke! Will they shut it down though??? Who's got any thoughts on this?

Just the email addy is [email protected]

You have to ask?

Seb From Holland · 01-30-2003, 04:55 PM

If they find out they will shut you down. Yahoo doesn't like their name being used (abused). You might as well register www.yahoo9.com or whatever, it's the same. Not a good chance of survival here.

Seb.

TheMob · 01-30-2003, 04:56 PM

who are they? just make a company called Yaho Ocares Inc.

Gutterboy · 01-30-2003, 04:56 PM

Start a betting pool over when the first C&D will arrive. Thats about all the use you'll get out of it.

Greesh · 01-30-2003, 04:57 PM

i think so too......but i want to have an email addy with it.
Or do a redirect to yawhocares.com.

Greesh · 01-30-2003, 05:00 PM

check this out though: [url]www.yahoocakes.com ...not a yahoo site.

Seb From Holland · 01-30-2003, 05:02 PM

Yeah but it's a company named Yahoo as well. With a registered trademark in it's business category. Jesus christ, are you really this dumb?

Greesh · 01-30-2003, 05:07 PM

Dumb...No! But creative Yes....Its just too funny not to do something with it.

Seb From Holland · 01-30-2003, 05:15 PM

Well, I personally think it's not all that creative when you use somebody else's concept. Funny? Could be yeah, but the risk of losing your domain name is too big when you're going to fuck with Yahoo.

Seb.

smut416 · 01-30-2003, 05:21 PM

Dude, you'll get the letter in the mail shortly from Yahoo!'s lawyers. Trust me, these big corporations dont like their name being used.

Buying worthless domains sounds fun.

Greesh · 01-30-2003, 05:44 PM

Damn! Can't I have any fun with this....you gotta admit it's a funny play on words. If nothing else.....having that email addy is worth the $15.00.

So anybody who wants an addy with thier [email protected] is welcome to it!

Dawgy · 01-30-2003, 05:46 PM

i guess i dont see why yahoocares.com is funny.

do they not care? are they careless?

Greesh · 01-30-2003, 06:01 PM

haha Dawgy...ur tho funny. I guess if they would have sent me a C&D right away......they really do care!

goBigtime · 01-30-2003, 06:08 PM

They couldn't beat you in court really. Remember.. the "Sucks" sites won. Ie.. PaypalSucks.com Foxtvsucks.com nikesucks.com

About the best they can do is send a C&D and hope they scared you into submission.

Find the sucks site that won and reference that case in a letter back to them telling htem you would be more than happy to take them to court and have them pay for both of your legal fees when they lose.

You can read this too...

Pun Explanation:
Yahoo Cares = Yeah, who cares?

Which is pretty funny. You should be able to make a parody site with it and get away with it.

Greesh · 01-31-2003, 06:08 PM

Thats how I see it to! A parody site with news...but nakid news. Get a deal going with the Star and Enquirer.....monthly prize give aways. Although it would be awesome to make it look exactly like Yahoo...they would win on a copywrite arguement.

AOLGuy · 02-09-2003, 03:48 PM

so, any C&D yet?

and why is this older thread being bumped...

I made $140 in Amazon GC off my www.amazonunderground.com site - I tried to get more from Amazon, but alas, I did not.

I also wonder....

Greesh · 02-09-2003, 04:16 PM

Just fucking around with the signature. No C&D yet cuz I haven?t done anything with it. However Lee's post was very insightful....... basically I don?t think they would have a case.

AOLGuy · 02-09-2003, 04:18 PM

I lost AOLGirlsGoneWild.com cause I had fake info on my registration and they took it to arbitration, they got it since there was no contest.

Crazy shit is that if I'd had my contact info, probably coulda gotten something to give it over easily.

AOLGuy · 02-09-2003, 04:18 PM

"they" being AOL.

Greesh · 02-09-2003, 04:23 PM

Probably right. AOL especially hates anything that has to do with adult. And they still have deep pockets even though they did just loose "$100B".....Maybe they should get into Porn...lol

AOLGuy · 02-09-2003, 04:25 PM

the url is the idea that finally got me into this...

it was fitting too - girls met on AOL, going hella wild...

hmm...

girlsgonehellawild.com?

Greesh · 02-09-2003, 05:59 PM

No...I own www.yahoocares.com. I'm going to make a parody site to yahoo with it. The yahoo.vu acts as a good inticator that yahoo cannot scoop it just because the have a TM.

x-vision · 02-09-2003, 07:01 PM

Fuckedcompany made the site yahotties.com. He was down after a week and he doesn't typically cave unless it's serious.
