About John Zuccarini and cybersquatting.

Hey all,

A search for the name John Zuccarini gives me a few reults here on GFY, but i was wondering, has anyone of you ever decided to file a complaint against him?

I checked the list of his +/- 8000 domains, and there's a lot of domains on it that a few of you would like to have.

"A complaint" would be an understatement. Congress made new laws just for him. He's serving something like a five year sentence in federal prison.

I think she means complaint in terms of WIPO to get one of the domains back.

Not a bad idea if you have some claim to the domain, since he can hardly mount a defence from prison.

Some of his names already expired and were registered by others.

Yes that's what I mean

I checked some of the cases against him and saw that he lost about 85% of them. So it should be easy the get those domains tranfered.

I was hoping that the domains I want would expire pretty soon, but one of them has been renewed on 2004-07-20. The news about him being in prison are from before that, like April. So the domains don't just expire while Johnny's in prison.

From what I know he's in prison now and that's one of the reasons his domains are expriring.

Just googled, he got a 2.5 year sentence, back in February 2004, so I reckon he's still incarcerated. His FTC "conviction" was in mid-2002, but that was just a civil penalty, $1.8 million...I gather he didn't pay it and went into hiding until his eventual arrest. His domains are still expiring regularly, some have fetched five figures on pool.com.

Well if you have a legitimate claim to the domain why not. If it's a really good name and you have a very good case, why not wait for someone to pay thousands on the secondary market and then take it away via UDRP

hrm are you suggesting taking it to UDRP even if you don't have a good claim on the name, and thinking you'll win because there's little chance he'll answer the complaint..

hrmm cunning

Correct, and some are even owned by people posting in this thread.

List is more than a year old, so may not be very up to date anymore.
