Is this a joke? C&D because of using the work revshare... - GoFuckYourself.com

J B · 01-12-2007, 04:39 PM

Just received a C&D because we use the word revshare on statsremote.com. The funny thing is that the only pages where it's used are pages where affiliate programs are listed that have the word 'revshare' in their name.

Good luck

HOLY SHIT, just noticed that

wow, they just keep coming back and fucking webmasters don't they?

georgeyw · 01-12-2007, 05:04 PM

so iBill is going to c&d every affiliate program?

NinjaSteve · 01-12-2007, 05:05 PM

Whoa! Somebody should trade mark 'ibill' if it's not already trademarked.

If it is from Revshare.com, tell them to fuck off & pound sand as use of the term revshare began in this industry well before this company even incorporated itself.

Ibill on the other hand looks like they took a well used term within the industry & TM it in spite.

How can they claim first use when use of the term within this industry started well before Ibill's inception? Ibill certainly did not coin the term.

Doesn't matter, if iBill was the first to copyright it then its theirs now.

Good, now you can tell them to fuck off. You're not in the business of disseminating advertising to television, therefore you're not in same type of business, & whereas they're using the term as name of their company, you & any other affiliate program, etc, are using the term as abbreviation as the word was coined to be for revenue sharing. Tell them to fuck off. Actually, don't do that.. have an attorney look at it.

personally, now I think we should all contact uspto & advise them & petition that the term revshare is a generic term & not a unique one, therefore is not eligible for tm protections.

Cory W · 01-12-2007, 05:26 PM

So they own revshare.com.....I don't see how they can C / D you with only a domain....

If we actually used the term revshare I might but we only list programs that use it as part of their name and the C&D was only sent by email, so I definitely won't...

seeric · 01-12-2007, 05:38 PM

its their business model now. they need to make money to pay back everyone.

DaddyHalbucks · 01-12-2007, 06:35 PM

Regarding iBill, I have but one question:

...where did all the money go?

?

DaddyHalbucks · 01-12-2007, 06:40 PM

Alot of intellectual property law centers on "first use."

When did they begin using the name? When did you begin using the name?

Another thing to look at is how many other domain names contain that term.

They could sue everyone for infringing on their trademark and make a comeback! They are saying they used it in 1995.

This is funny, the owner of that company is actually a friend of mine.

I am going to have to call him, this is pretty funny.

JB, ICQ me. The owner of that company is a friend of mine. Our kids are days apart and went to gymboree together.

I could send you a C & D because you said "bug", doesn't mean you have to comply.

You can ask him why they actually sent it to us as we don't even use the term... pretty funny if you ask me

I know and I'm not worrying about the C&D at all. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted anything about it here

CaptainHowdy · 01-14-2007, 10:25 AM

Crazy stuff ! Ibill at it again from the dead...

LiveDose · 01-14-2007, 10:52 AM

Ibill, LOL.

I'm glad they stick around for a good laugh now and then...

RawAlex · 01-14-2007, 11:01 AM

Has anyone else figured out the joke yet?

This means that Ibill, the company that hasn't paid so many, still has assets.

Why doesn't someone just get a laywer and push to find the assets?

Trixie · 01-15-2007, 06:20 PM

I got the same C&D, and it's not from ibill -- if only half the people posting in this thread bothered to read all of the posts, they'd realize that.
