>You've made it obvious in many of your posts that your prime motivation in all this
is your IOD preregistration of killer.web.I have not got even one .WEB registration,
get your facts right.
My motivation is to end all the legal actions taken against
honest domain holders, of which I am one.
We are people that do not buy domains
to extort money off a trademark holder. Yet big business takes them off us anyway.
You do not realise the problems that we all face should they let the situation continue.
Are
you saying, that I cannot ask the question, "Are you lot stupid or something?". When
they attempt to trivialise the most important problem facing us all.
See my posting
"THIS has to be sorted first, else what is the point of more TLDs?"
Can I not say,
that I see they are greedy, keeping TM names only for big business, and to stop others
using their own property.
Are you saying, that I cannot put forward my opinion
that big business attempt to dominate the Internet is a bad joke?
Be serious, do
you think it okay for big business to take what it likes? Is it okay for them to
misuse its trademark for anti-competitive purposes? A unlawful act.
Even in European
Competition Law (which WIPO ignores)it states:
2. Abuses of dominant position (Article
82)
Article 82 prohibits the abuse of the dominant position of a company which
negatively affect the trade between Member States.
2.2. What are the prohibited
practices under Article 82?
c) Abuse of intellectual property rights
The mere
existence of a patent, trademark or copyright is not sufficient to establish a dominant
position.

I
know my language is forceful, it needs to be. I wish that I could have used much
stronger. It did not contain any swear words, even asterisks, did it?
You must
be some sort of anti freespeech advocate, or worse. You do not seem at all critical
of the Copyright Coalition on Domain Names - are you one of them? State YOUR motivations.
