Advise on domain name misspellings!! - GoFuckYourself.com

I have some domain names and have been getting a lot of stick of the "Trademarks" for those names. But how does it work they are misspellings?! And how can I hide my identity from these people so they can stop bothering me!!!

Thanks
Zipper

You can modify the domain information to complete bullshit when they do a whois, but you can not fake your host.
The best idea would be to find a Russian host or a host in a country which isn't bound to international trademark rules.
This will not put you in the clear 100%
but it will make it more difficult for these companies to get you shutdown.
Say your Romanian or something, fake address, phone number, the whole works.
Keep in mind the company angry at you can find out who you are by going to the sponsors on the domain in question - it doesn't seem worth the effort to me.
You know what your doing is wrong, so just quit while your ahead and not being sued.

That's just the webmaster way of spelling. It's for the looser loser

Maybe he's very loose.

All they have to do is call Internic and they will lock the domain. Internic owns the domain so they get contacted by the company for the trademark issue and then lock the domain out.
