    NAUGHTY AMERICA going after affiliates!!

    NAUGHTY AMERICA OFFERS AMNESTY TO CYBERSQUATTERS

    Naughty America announced today a unique and one time amnesty program
    for cybersquatters and typosquatters. Naughty America?s amnesty offer
    is simple. Legal action will not be taken against cybersquatters and
    typosquatters who transfer their infringing domain names to Naughty
    America on or before April 2, 2010.

    Naughty America owns the registered trademarks for ?Naughty America?
    and numerous domain names incorporating the mark. Naughty America?s
    long-standing ownership of the mark has not prevented infringers from
    illegally profiting from Naughty America?s strong brand recognition
    and goodwill by registering domain names that incorporate ?Naughty
    America? or variations of the mark.

    To participate in the amnesty program, anyone who has registered a
    domain name that incorporates the trademark ?Naughty America? or
    variations and misspellings of the mark needs to do the following:

    1. Immediately stop any and all use of domain names that include the
    trademark ?Naughty America? or variations and misspellings of ?Naughty
    America;?

    2. Transfer to Naughty America any and all rights in and to the
    infringing domain names; and

    3. Provide Naughty America with satisfactory proof that the domain
    name has been transferred to LTI no later than April 2, 2010.


    Good job Naughty!

        I thought the most interesting part of that email was the list of trademarks they say they own. NA for example (I guess not applicable can ever be used).

        I've bolded some of the more interesting ones claimed as trademarks.

        Other registered trademarks owned by Naughty America for which the amnesty program is available are: American Daydreams, Asian 1 on 1, Ass Masterpiece, Diary of a MILF, Diary of a Nanny, Find Your Fanny, Housewife 1 on 1, Latin Adultery, My First Sex Teacher, My Friend’s Hot Mom, My Naughty Latin Maid, My Sister’s Hot Friend, NA, NA Naughty America Est. 1776, Naughty Bookworms, Naughty Cribs, Naughty Flipside, Naughty Office, Neighbor Affair, Nobody Does It Better, Seduced By a Cougar, SoCal Coeds, Suite 703, The Difference Is Here, The Naughty American, and What’s New.
        If these three in particular are actual trademarks, then I suspect they'd be easily challenged.

            That's just crazy. What next? I can't use the word naughty in an ad I run for models......

              So Naughty America wants to sue my friends hot mom for her american daydreams found in the diary of a milf. All I gotta say is "What's new?" Anyone have Ste 703 for the Phoenix conference?

                      Sorry but when someone says "NA" I don't think of Naughty America.

                        I agree on that one.

                        BTW I do think of Naughty America but that may be my perverted mind.

                          is this the same for affiliates that are using the site to promote just them? if thats the case i see this being nothing more than biting the hand that feeds you. they allowed it back when the affiliate registered the domain and spent their time and money to develop it, and they accepted traffic from the domain for who knows how long.

                            Most definitely. Reading between the lines, it seems like they're saying "Well, all mistypes is traffic we should be getting anyway because the user was trying to directly access our sites so you need to transfer those domains over pronto."

                              Next they will be dmca'ing sites and removing them from google for using the words Naughty, and later on the page America, or like stated 'NA' LOL.

                              Take your shit down now and save yourself and them the headaches. Or let some cheeky lawyer decide if your site is worth taking.

                              Looks like they'd prefer to do this marketing/branding thing on their own from here on in.

                                They are just trying to save money. It costs $1500 plus attorney fee's to register a domain name dispute with the National Arbitration Forum. The cost to the respondent is nothing unless they hire a lawyer, which shouldn't be needed if they know how to put a coherent few paragraphs together and aren't using the domains in bad faith.

                                Terms Naughty and America are generic terms, so this is a domain grab by NA nothing more. With that said I believe when you have a trademark you have to defend it if someone might be infringing or you risk losing the trademark. I don't know if that is 100% true but it was told to my when I was sued, and I won:-)

                                        I don't blame you. We have given ourselves some self-inflicted wounds, but we are working on making Naughty America one of top programs again.

                                            Feel free to contact me directly at eddie@naughtyamerica to discuss.
                                            so you are trying to make your program best by snatching domains from your affiliates? The domains on which they have worked to make them top in SERPs?

                                            If a affiliate is promoting your sites with the said domain name, what's wrong with that? You're ultimately getting the revenue and the affiliate is paid their part. Protecting your trade mark is a great idea, I agree, but you should fight with those who are promoting others with your trademarks.

                                            In the current scenario, affiliates will be pissed off and looks like all you want is some more free traffic and this will ultimately result in more self-inflicted wounds!

                                            I'm sorry If I sound harsh and I have nothing to do with Naughty America but It is not the right way to treat the affiliates. I've never heard of staff members being sued because they are working to make money for their company and themselves!

                                                Naughty America announced today a unique and one time amnesty program
                                                for cybersquatters and typosquatters. Naughty America?s amnesty offer
                                                is simple. Legal action will not be taken against cybersquatters and
                                                typosquatters who transfer their infringing domain names to Naughty
                                                America on or before April 2, 2010.

                                                Naughty America owns the registered trademarks for ?Naughty America?
                                                and numerous domain names incorporating the mark. Naughty America?s
                                                long-standing ownership of the mark has not prevented infringers from
                                                illegally profiting from Naughty America?s strong brand recognition
                                                and goodwill by registering domain names that incorporate ?Naughty
                                                America? or variations of the mark.

                                                To participate in the amnesty program, anyone who has registered a

Its a handful of affiliates at best who are applicable and the tone of the email is rather aggressive in seeking any and all webmasters who might be infringing. Wouldn't it have been more professional to look at referral logs and send this email to those who are actually infringing? Either way, I'm not affected by this so it doesn't bother me all that much.

You think you will go in and take the domain and get all of the cash with no affiliate payout and it will stay at #1 in MSN or #2 in Yahoo... But it won't... They will drop all links. The domain will be worthless.

                                                                      To show their appreciation back to you they will devote time to getting a generic domain back to #2 in Yahoo and send the traffic to a sponsor like Nasty Dollars or TCG or anywhere else but you.

                                                                      Now if the affiliate was already doing that now, I can see how your'd be protecting yourself. It would make perfect sense. You are listening to your lawyers and not listening to common sense enough...

                                                                                Lets just say for example , i start a blog called naughtyamericablog.com this is a pretty clear case of trademark infringment, but if i am promoting naughtyamerica the only thing accomplished by taking the domain is loss of business. as others have pointed out , the one month influx of free traffic doesn't = the future loss of traffic. The webmaster won't promote the site because they don't own it anymore , links will get pulled and the affiliate will move onto programs who aren't so picky. So you get a bunch of worthless domains and a handfull of pissed off affiliates for a couple months of free traffic.

                                                                                      Nothing wrong with protecting yourself, but there is something wrong trying to steal from people by strong arming them and scaring them into giving up their domains that you know would never hold up in court but you try anyway just to see who hands it over to you.

Its a handful of affiliates at best who are applicable and the tone of the email is rather aggressive in seeking any and all webmasters who might be infringing. Wouldn't it have been more professional to look at referral logs and send this email to those who are actually infringing? Either way, I'm not affected by this so it doesn't bother me all that much.

That approach, however has worked by low life's here.

                                                                                                Using a brand name that is in use by a known party is pretty foolish - first of all because most people simply abuse it by promoting competitors ..... This has to be punished and most jurisdictions respect this without the need of legal formalities.

                                                                                                Protect your brands and drive fraudulent affs out of the market.

My revshare account was suspended without notice for what I later find out was due to having too good a ratios which they claimed were "completely and utterly impossible" to achieve and thus they assumed I must be doing something suspicious.

                                                                                                    After finding this out, I tried to explain it was because I was linking directly to the join page for much of my traffic and as soon as I started doing this apparently NATS did not count those hits or severely undercounted them causing the high ratios. Not saying it was NATS fault as I may have linked to the page improperly even though sales were being recorded.

                                                                                                    After telling them this my emails were no longer replied to. I mean if they did not want me to link directly to the join page fine, I would have just changed my links, but the way this was handled was horrible. Anyway, just wanted to vent as although this happened awhile ago I am always reminded of my experience whenever I see Naughty America mentioned.
