I guess it's bad to have google in your domain name.
 

i can think of another company that is touchy about using a name

Googledatingsite - initally promoted as "powered by Google" - claims more thanone million members who paid €100 each for the service

damn

Yep, anyone doing that is begging to lock horns with a monster.

:eyecrazy

I find that hard to believe and I also find it odd that they don't have a backup of their database either as the article says. 100 Million pounds of transactions and not a backup, no chance.
WG

Not backing up such a lucrative DB is grounds for being shot because you are just so stupid.

Yeah, I think they are full of shit.

Google does not like it when people use there name...

threatening to sue,why haven't they done it by now?

Isn't google a dictionary word?

Googol is the actual word that's in the dictionary, Google was a play on that word which could be easily trademarked.

WG

yah, search webster dictionary on google, second result is the definition of google.

i wonder if you used it as a verb in a domain, would it be fair game now?

I have playboygoogle.com wonder if i'll get in trouble:)

O'rly...

Was Google in the dictionary 5 years ago?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

true... must be a retard

ogle is a word im pretty sure, so it should be ok to have a porn site "go ogle sluts" :)

I was recently contacted by the head of Google Trademark Issues to transfer my domain www.googledefinitions.com to Google immediately

well, yeah

Maybe, but on the other hand, google will have a different opinion. It's pretty much like explaining the 600 pound gorilla that it's YOUR banana...

lol that would be a double whammy haha

even if google hit him with a $50m lawsuit, he still has $50m left

worth it

plus he can employ someone to back up the database or just spend $20 on one of those hd back up things

Dear rose,

Regarding your recent inquiry into our logo. Im afraid you are too late to claim any sort of similarity in the color scheme of our logo as "mother earth" has recently contacted us and claimed she first came up with the color scheme when she invented rainbows. Because "mother earth" came to use first , i'm afraid we are going to have to deal with her first , thus you must now direct any problems to "mother earth". In the future any inquiries regarding the logo will result in swift and severe penalties and charges including harrasment as it has been pointed out to you who the rightfull owner of the color scheme is.

Regarding your claim of "confusion" we feel is without merit. We randomly polled 100 people and asked them if they thought our site was google. amazingly all 100 agreed our site was not google and were not confused in any way. as with the above claims , we feel any further discussion on this part by you will consitute harrasment as it has clearly been pointed out that the domain is neither confusing and you dont own the color scheme.

Lastly in regards to your request to blackmail us into giving away our domain name to you. hahahahhaa you have got to be joking , If you are interested in purchasing the domain , its not for sale so don't bother. go eat a fat dick.

Any reply to this email ,lawsuit, carbon copy or further contact from you or any google employee signifies you wish to sell the domain www.google.com to us for $1

Have a nice day

LMAO, that's funny.

:thumbsup not shot, but sent to war in the dessert.. for the amry :Oh crap
strongly agree..

that was a lucky guy, I think he can close all his sites, he made enough money to live from it

When will people learn. Good post.

Googledatingsite.nl, Googleonlineshop.com, Googlecommunity.nl and Googlestore.nl.

well, that is really bad...i mean if im one of google's associates i would definitely file a complaint against the owners of those domains...that's just like company names...you should not be so obviously the same with the others...

How about: http://googlemodules.com/ ?

gonna get owned

Yeah, it just says "claims" kinda like adult friend finder "claims" to have all these profiles in your area. no offence ;p

old news anyone remember googlegear.com ? they lost their domain and renamed themselves as zipzoomfly.com and the site was run buy a major computer wholesaler that could afford attorney's to fight it out.


They at least got google to forword the domain to them type in googlegear.com and see what happens :)
