I use to be a partner in a popular offshore casino/sportsbook until the crooked owners screwed me. Now I'm in the process of suing and I happen to own the .net & .org versions of the trademarked site name (trademarked without the .com). I offered to hand these domains over as part of a settlement offer but their position is that they won't pay a dime for them as they could easily obtain them via legal means, "a slam-dunk" they said.

My question is: Is it so easy for a company to obtain the .net & .org versions of a trademarked site name? My thinking is that this is nothing more than a bargaining tactic but I really don't know.

If anyone has any articles or links to articles with information on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks.

Yes, it'll take them a little time but if the name is copywrited they shouldnt have a problem getting those from you.


You can transfer it around and change the whois info frequently if you feel like being a jerk about it to piss off your former partners.

Just so people know. APTour is Canadian and lives in Canada. This case is Canada.

Also, be careful when you go to Canada. I was duped into going to Montreal and live there for 6 months. When I got there I saw everything was in French. I didn't get the memo about that....lol
