Nothing wrong with IOD or Name-Space---Get Your Facts Straight Andrew! |
Message: |
|
Andrew makes a very passionately
agruement that appears to have a disgruntled tone to it against IOD and Namespace...IF
anyone is legitimate out there it is these two companies...Andrew brings up the fact
that IOD has trademarked names already registered under .web..Here is how IOD will
handle this (click on this link ---http://www.webtld.com/Information/#dispute ) Those
people who violate the law will be dealt accordingly with those companies when and
if .web goes live.... Sorry Andrew...I could go on Network Solultions right now and
register AOLLL.com or eBayyy.com, etc, etc...See my point....Should we not invent
new things, not create new businesses because of potential lawsuits....If we do then
the Lawyers really have won....We have laws on the books so that business can flourish
and protect themselves at the same time...Will it cost companies to protect there
assets...YES...No different then spending money on insurance in case someone slips
and falls in your store...Maybe that is what the next craze will be -- trademark
insurance protection (right now WIPO handles disputes in the .com cases---good job
ICANN)...Nonetheless we must progress and create new gTLDs in light of the risk...NOTE:
We have laws that deal with that and IOD and Name-Space have been following the same
rules as the .com partners...Go on NameSpace http://www.name-space.com and under
SmartWHois input read.web ...they reference where the name was purchased (NO different
if you went on Register.com and looked up Read.com (you would find that is was purchased
from NetSol---Thus IOD and Name-Space have eliminated any redundancy....Yes you have
the right to your opinion andrew, but when they are misguided I will always set the
record straight...Again..Thanks to ICann for this forum as it will help set the record
straight...And if you can prove me wrong...By all means..You definitely have the
right to set ME straight...Thank you!
