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!

congratz...you must be buzzing:)

Nice going.

congrats on the victory

congrats :)

Congratulations. Fuck them up the ass with a broken bottleneck :thumbsup

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.

Congrats on the win

congrats on your victory :) i bet that took forever!! must b a nice feeling 2 know u can put it behind u :)

I've always liked the guys at KickAss.

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.

They were dreaming.I dont understand why they would even give a shit about those domains in the first place.

didnt aj own kickassgalleries?

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 :thumbsup :pimp

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 :1orglaugh

congrats and I really mean that. It is nice to see the little guy win from time to time.

congratz!:thumbsup

There are some people out there with way too much money and free time, thats why

Congrats, Kenny!

good work

I'm going to look into it and see if I can be compensated for my time and costs.

Congrats I guess.

Next they will be going after MaximumPC and their KickAss Award.

Congrats!!! When I won my court cases against affiliates(shavers) I bought myself a Denali!!!

I'll have to settle with keeping my domain names, praise from my peers and hopefully a bj from the wife later :winkwink:

I know the feeling of winning a court case.

You are going to be on a "high" for awhile!

Congrats on the job well done!:)

Haha, good for you.

Reminded me of this.

Thats great! I didn't see that thread, I hope bdjuf didn't just hand over the domain

Congrats.

congratz !

congrats thats great news!

I don't need it, thanks for thinking of me though. If by some slim chance the guys from KAP go after him for the domain you can let him know he can cantact me:-)

congrats now go have a drink :)

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.
