What if the domain name is owned by someone who hold a license with rights to produce, sell james bond staffs ? he have right to own it, what if the seller is situated in a country where james bond TM not registered ?
And since it probable that in the future there will be a female BOND, we can expect a new name to be reserved for this extension, will it be also a TM, especially that the names are public and already owned and used by folks since decades.
How big registrars like Godaddy, NameSilo, Namecheap, Name.com and others accepted to serve this extension for public use ? It is clear that it will be used for this purpose ! who will reserve keywords like this now a time: bitcoin.bond, car.bond, etc. it is clearely not matching and looks to be for a different purpose that they appear ... who will accept to pay 800$ for an extension like this one while there a tons of them and in better quality ?! Other than the guys of the movies themself ?
If I was named james (or not), I have right to reserve my name with this extension, why others could and not me ? In the case the content will be related to James Bond movie there we can talk legal actions, but for now I see nothing illegal.
The one to blame here is the registrar it self and not the seller IMO ... instead of shooting delibirately insults against others it is preferable to build arguments that passes and convice others and not taking them by idiots without any sense.
I am new and noob here and in domaining, but qualified in a different domains on the web, I touched for many of them ... used many old known services that are already died right now ... developped many applications with old and new programming languages, online shopping, webmaster of many projects, early adopter of cryptocurrencies, moderator of many forums etc ... but I never taken my self as an expert and taking down others, I have questions about the topic and need informations before judging or taking part of any side ... but allowing this type of reactions seriousely ?!!!
It's pretty simple what the seller's intent is based upon. Is "James" middle name "007"?
Look at the ad banner:
Show attachment 163566
The ad text is "James.Bond & 007.Bond" in a leaning font which copies the presentation on movie posters, DVD sleeves, etc.. Additionally, the advertisement includes the partial image of a man wearing a formal suit, as is typical of the James Bond character.
One has to be a complete fool not to be able to determine that the sale is premised on the James Bond "007" character and rights in that character.
Don't play dumb.
That's simply a lie. Look at the banner which the moron is using to sell the domain names. It is an obvious reference to the movie character (and all of which that entails).
Your "James the ball bondsman" specializes in $0.07 bonds? Get real and stop pretending.
Over the last two decades, I have successfully defended more domain names than you will probably ever sell.
It is this sort of horseshit which gives domainers a bad name.
Duh.
If the registry wanted to sell them as premium names, there would be no reason to register the names and list them on Sedo.
The registry runs its own premium name program:
https://shortdot.bond/premium-domains/
So, duh, they could price these names as premiums and leave them unregistered (and thus not subject to a cybersquatting claim) if they wanted to avoid liability that comes with registering them and advertising them this way.
The registry has its own premium name pricing and sales channel. They don't register names and list them on Sedo. THEY. RUN. THE. REGISTRY.
Stop playing stupid. There are people who don't know any better, and being misled by folks like you is not helpful.
Over the last two decades, I have successfully defended more domain names than you will probably ever sell. You are pro, amazing, you know everything etc. wathever you want, but your words and the way you are threating others that don't pass and no normal humain can't accept this type of returns, it's limit insults to participants... normally you are an example to follow and it shouldn't me who will take this kind of speech, I understand well why
@Internet.Domains requested to close his account ... hope he will come back here and focuse on his business (there is many other members here and we are not all with same mentality) and trying only to avoid, black list this type of member ... it don't worth to go beyond this stage and moderators should set a limit and give their point of view even if they are a reputable members ... you are the only police here and we should respect only your chart and not the one of every pro member.
