got my first cease email I think

Thanks dudes, all this stuff is good to know, for future reference. You just never know.

Agreed- very well played.

The people behind C&Ds are normally just looking for you to roll over and play dead. If they were into extracting money from you, they'd serve you a suit concurrently.

Don't forget legally they must pursue anyone who infringes otherwise they can lose their trademark.

Damn i'm Jealous all this time in this business and never a C&D.... I must be all whitehat

 

[amanda11]

God ... *wonders if he has a C&D letter*

I never check my fucking emails.

Not that I give a fuck anyways.

NickRac is on the money --- to keep a trademark you have to defend it. If an advertiser sends you a C&D, that doesn't always mean they don't want to business with you, its just that you can't do it with the domain, or those keywords, etc.

Lego got me for two domains, it was pretty smooth going in the end. They paid me what i'd paid for them and i handed them over.

The thing with C&Ds if they are legit and from a law firm is that it is really the lawyer looking to make money. If you notice the wording in them usually the client has no idea about the infringement and the lawyer is just looking out to get paid in the process.
