How can nissan own z.com but not nissan.com
 

z.com probably cost them just as much as nissan.com would. I wonder if they made the owner of nissan.com a large offer and if they declined it. The battle continues

that uzi nissan has been fighting them forever, lol, and he cant even do anything commercial with the site

Yeh that's popular internet history... I think he will never hand over that domain lol

i am sure nissan offered him a at least a few million. I think they should just send him a certified check for $10 million with a note that if he cashes it, he transfer the domain name and there will be no further lawsuits. That way if they try to trick him into accepting money, they cannot nail him for cybersquating. Unless uzi is worth 100 million dollars or more, any reasable person will accept that offer :)

this is the first time I saw a one letter domain, heh :-/

how much is it worth to nissan and how much are their lawyer fees?

paypal seems to own x.com :) i just went through a few of them and these were the only two active, didn't check them all though

i own zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.com

:sleep :sleep

The guy is a dufus. He's a prick too. Give up the domain to someone that can use it and to someone who it's worth something to.

Principal. Why should Uzi Nissan hand it over? He registered his company back when Nissan was still Datsun. You can't just change your company's name and hijack other company's property, no matter how big you are.

Good on Uzi for keeping it.

Well if he was using the name before Nissan, he should be liable for to sue Nissan for income made using the Nissan name no?

Before it was paypal.com it was x.com. I can't believe how few people around here seem to have known about that.


Newbs. :winkwink:

j/k

My guess is that nissan is being unreasonable here. They probably have lawyers on staff so they could care less about legal costs. They are probably trying to get the domain for free or for well below it's market value.

Looks like he was trying to make money off the traffic:

He should have just kept it like this:

Well I am sure they already lost millions of dollars worth of traffic since the battle began so they should just pay the guy off. The domain name has 27,000 alexa and PR6 lol

check out the stuff he is selling and the prices... :1orglaugh

Lol nissan.org seems to be owned by nissan and they are redirecting it to domain sponsor. Some weird stuff

9.1GB SCSI 10ms 1698.00 I can download a full movie with that drive :)

You're really a gangster though if your name is Uzi and you own nissan.com hahah.

I dont know the details, but I am sure that the owner of the domain has some people working pro bono for him. Its a pretty high profile case, I have read about it several times.

Lets all hope he wins. I am sure no one would like a company to start now, get 1 bill in funding, and come after you for your domain in several years.

that is why i got the domain

I know that battle has been going on for some time. But he uses the domain.

I remember all of this from a few years back....

A guy named something Nissan owned a computer company called Nissan Computers. He registered www.nissan.com and used it for his computer company. Nissan Car Co. sued him and the court ruled that neither company could use the URL.

bump, I've heard of this case also.

If I were him, I'd cash out for 25mil. He's simply got one of the best domains on the net! He's not cybersquatting because his last name is Nissan and he's owned it before the Datsun/Nissan change.

i think Nissan Motor is a fucking cock sucking idiot. Glad to see the owner can put up a fight to protect his domain.

I don't see any way they can get at him except offering him money

he's probably made an offer to them already. they more than likely refused thinking they deserve it for free.

yeah this one has been going on forever.. wonder how it will all end...
