If they want it - YES. Or you can spend the $6000-$7000 to TRY to keep the name in a UDRP case.
Although MOST of the time it can be won (at a cost), there has been a recent number of cases that a three letter generic acronym has been awarded to the complainant. You really should read and understand the UDRP policy and process; http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm
There is a live Word Mark TM for "FLV Player" ;
But not for the letters FLV that I have found.
Well, I hadn't even heard about the premium release until reading this thread today. Checked out the list and splurged bigtime with a single registration!
I picked up SX.TV -- for less than someone bought my BestMusic.TV that I let drop (see my "Weep with me" thread)! I figure if someone thinks BestMusic.TV was worth $1300, SX.TV is already worth a lot more than I spent!
It's the first LL.anything I've ever owned, and the closest I'll ever come to owning SEX.anything!
To be honest I think any of the big media companies can afford a couple of million a year if it gives them premium tv space on the internet. They have the budgets and more importantly the content and reach to make it work. Any domain is online real estate. Just like in the real world the better the location the better your business. So to, the better your .TV the better chances of resell or branding. JMO
It's absurd. It's not because you have millions you spend millions.
Company spend money to get a return on investment and not lose money!
It can make sense they purchase a colection of dot TV of intertest, most is absurd.
I think it is safe to assume that when it was written "most", it meant most of the premiums that fit their niche. I don't think it means they will be going after Bulgaria.tv
NBC - Snap.com
ABC - Go.com
CBS - Storerunner.com, Marketwatch.com, and Sportsline.com
2 out of 3 were failures.
One of the big 3 buying TV might not be the best thing for the extension. I remember all the buzz post-launch of snap.com. It didn't rule the world like many thought.
Alas, I can only hope for the reds in Russia to overthrow democracy, reconquer all the baltic states and form the 2nd Soviet Union. Then watch the offers flow in
Or maybe the krgyzstans can make an economic comback
