Ever grabbed a cool .Net or .org domain and then had that "wait a minute..." moment when you realize it's kinda like a big brand's name? Feels like you've just hit the jackpot, doesn't it? But here's where things get tricky.
Say you got that domain way before the company even popped up on the scene. Before all the legal trademark stuff. You're good to go, right? But hold on a sec.
Shoot them an email offering the domain, and boom! You're suddenly the bad guy, trying to shake them down for cash. They might be all like, "Nice try, buddy!" But if they come knocking first? Whole different story. Now you're just two folks having a chat, maybe talking numbers.
So, here's the dilemma: Do you patiently wait for them to initiate, or do you boldly make the first move? How would you play it? Especially when the company doesn't own the .COM, .NET, or .ORG, and resorts to their LLLL name + an additional word.
