We won the Kick Ass domain name dispute!

After months of going back and forth with the guys at Kick Ass Pictures who tried to strong arm us out of our domain names KickAssGalleries.com and KickAssPornstars.com they finally opened up an official case at the domain name arbitration forum. Well it?s been settled, an official judgement has been made and we won!

Always feels nice to represent myself against a high priced lawyer and win. Personally I think they should fire their lawyer for actually leading them to believe they had a case in the first place, but her that?s just my opinion!

It's a good day, and it makes me feel even better that they spent $2000 just to file the case and probably another $5k on their over priced lawyer.

The lawyer probably didnt understand how domains work, or have any experience with domain arbitration. Shouldve consulted someone who specializes in that field.

Very nice to know I can put it behind me now and continue to develop the domain names.

I think their lawyer didn't care one way or another of the outcome, he gets paid regardless.

Yes AJ did own them. We made a deal with him a while ago and I took them over well before this whole domain name dispute started.

If you dig a little deeper I'm almost certain there are some damages you can file against them now for filing a case that was without warrant. I believe it was put in place to discourage 'reverse squatting' suits that started popping up a few years ago. I'd check into it

Because the site have been online since 2003 and have a lot of bookmarkers. They may also have been thinking it's easier to take someone else's hard work then do the work themselves.

Oh well live and learn

Some laws are written in such a way that if you don't actively defend your mark/copyright, you lose it. So even if they thought what you were doing was okay, the law pressures them to take action.

This isn't the case, they wanted a developed domain name to help enter the online market.

Kenny Congrats ;)

But seriously, when you get a trade mark you have to protect it - or at least try to. I doubt you would have done any different if roles were reveresed. Anyway. At least the domain get's to stick with it's biological parent and stuff. So cheers.

Seriously dude, it would be one thing if you trade marked a unique term or something that was yours specifically.. But when you try and steal peoples sites because they use very common words that are close to your trade mark.. Well then IMO you suck.

You can play nice on the boards but It's not like you had a brand name like Twistys, Girls Gone Wild, Ford or Chevy.. Terms like those are uniquely branded and everyone knows who they are because they made that term popular or famous.

Trying to steal a name that is so common as "Kick Ass" makes you look like a dumb ass. Companies like yours piss me off royally and I'm glad for once the little guy won.

Usually the hardest item to prove in a UDRP is this: "Domain was registered AND is being used in bad faith." [emphasis added by Your Daddy]

If they acquired their "trademark" after your domain was registered, it is nearly impossible to prove that necessary element.

Real pros sue in federal court.

N00bs file UDRPs.

I would have done differently if the roles were reversed because I would have known that the domains weren?t infringing on the trademark. But that?s just me. For future refrence Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred:

(1) the domain name registered by the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights;
(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

Honestly your company should re-think your legal counsel. You spent a lot of money to file this claim and your lawyer should have advised you differently from the start. He had his best interests at heart, not yours.

I thank Kenny for bringing me out of my shell and getting me to finally register on GFY and JBM. It pains me to read all these negative comments, because anyone who knows me or my company knows that I?m a good guy who goes out of my way to do the right thing. Here?s a brief history of what happened from my side.

I already knew AJ, who originally owned the two kickass domain names in question and continued to run them. Apparently at some point he turned ownership of them over to Kenny in Canada because of 2257 considerations. I didn?t want to own sites, but my attorney said that if I knowingly allowed a ?Kick Ass? site to operate, it could harm my federal trademark. (As anyone who owns a trademark knows, you have to defend that trademark against infringement or it becomes worthless.)

So I entered into negotiations with AJ, trying to cut a deal in which he still ran the sites and made as much money as always, but they at least promoted some Kick Ass products. The deal never materialized, due to 2257 legal considerations that I won?t bore anyone with. At the end of those months, AJ and I shook hands as friends. I told him that it was nothing personal, but my attorney had advised me that I had to defend my trademark, so I was obligated to bring the matter to ICANN.

In my eyes, this has been a win-win situation, because I have a record of defending my trademark, and Kenny got to keep the sites. Yes I could have purchased the domains, but the asking price was about 10 times what it cost me to file with ICANN, and as I said before, I never had a desire to own those domains.

For the record, I have only resorted to ICANN once before, to get the domain name barefootconfidential.com. In that case, I believe the name was registered in bad faith because my trademarked Barefoot Confidential video series had been around for years and had won numerous AVN Awards, and someone else was profiting from that. (And let?s face it, Barefoot Confidential is not a ?generic? term like kick ass, which is why I won that case and lost this one.)

Anyway, I felt I had to explain my side of the story. I?m going to be at the Phoenix Forum next month, and I invite anyone who still thinks I?m a big, bad, litigious ogre to say hi and decide for yourself. And Kenny, if I see you there, I?ll buy you a drink to show there are no hard feelings.
