domain 1ipod(.)com

[Pandemic]

Is this one worth anything? I can only think of maybe 3 ipod domains that would be better than this one. Probably ipod.com, eipod.com and iipod.com. Other than those, I think 1ipod.com has the others beat.

Anyway, what's this thing worth?

 

[silentg]

Negative legal fees and other fees.

Hi there silent. Not following on this. What are you saying?

iPod is a tm owned by Apple.

Ya I know. I got 1ipod.com, so I'm good. If it was an exact match, like Ipod.mobi, etc.... it would be different. Mine is no different than buying 148ipod.com.

Assuming it's legal.... what's it worth?

It doesn't have to be exact match. I would stay away from this with a 100 ft pole. Even if you used it to avoid their TM, it wouldn't have any value - thats really its ONLY use since IPod isn't a generic word/term - its a product/brand.

Well, I don't believe its a trademark violation and it would be a perfect name for an ipod store end user. possibly the best.

Thanks though.

Visit the legal forum. It's against TM law for an ipod store end user to use the TM in the domain name and Apple does prosecute. You are welcome to think what you think, but that doesn't make it okay. You won't get serious reseller and enduser buyers for this reason.

It's worth $10,000 bare minimum in lawyer fee's
If you think putting a "1" in front of a domain name will shield you from Apples lawyers just do me a favor...Say hi to Jared for me.

It most certainly is a trademark violation unless you intend to make it in to a site about beans in a pod or something that doesn't involve portable music players.

The only way you could profit from this domain will most likely result in legal trouble for you. Let it go imo.

 

[Pandemic]

lol .... thanks. I'll take my chances. Ipodstore.com is for sale, and so is ipod.org. Now ipod.org is a clear violation, but maybe apple doesn't care.

SirDrago.... you love Jared. Hilarious.

I'll educate you guys on losing Tm domains as you obviously don't know the process (no offense), as apparently you think people go to a domain name prison of some sort.

Do you see my join date here? It dates back to the failed .mobi boom. In fact, I might be the one who helped destroyed it. When .mobi came out, i cyber squatted every large company name, over a hundred of them, including large banks such as CapitalOne, Amex, etc.... I prevented all of the large companies from participating in .mobi's. I wasn't sued by any of them, but here is how the process works...

When there is a TM violation, they dispute it with Icann, which costs them around 2k to do it, since they always hire an attorney. I was stripped of around 6 or 7 domains (can't remember exactly how many, but a lot) by icann. I didn't spend a penny on legal fees, nor was i sued in any way. It's a myth as far as legal fees, prosecution, etc.... I know this first hand as again I went through it a half dozen times.

And you do realize that they can sue you for their legal fees, right? (BTW, my wife is a lawyer....)

I love it how noobs love to claim they had such great impact in the tech world as argument for why they should be heard. Oh and join date doesn't mean anything, especially with what you are claiming. And using that for your argument, I joined before you. lol....

It's not just the risk of a lawsuit that's the issue it's that the domain has absolutely no value whatsoever to anyone except apple.

There is no way for you to monetize this domain without violating TM, which completely kills it and makes it worth 0.

Some unsuspecting domainer might buy ipod. org for good money but I don't see that happening with yours and personally I wouldn't be looking to get a few hundred bucks from someone in exchange for basically nothing, which is what you'd be doing.

Oh so you're "The One" that knows everything about ™ Violations.... I thought it was the 20 million that claimed it before you. You should've said something at the door... LMAO

If you think that your Domain name has ANY worth other than imaginary funds your legal know how is the last I would take on this planet. everything you just typed is B.S simple as that.

And your wife also knows, with all due respect, that anyone can sue anyone these day, over anything, and they usually do. Doesn't mean much. I hold the record on law suits myself. I wasn't sued for legal fees with the domains. I wasn't sued whatseover. Was never even asked to reimburse them. They filed a dispute with icann, and that's it.

Like I said, you can stay in the legal dept forum here, or you can listen to me. I know first hand. Unless anyone has been through a TM violation with icann, you really don't know the process. What i've told you is how it works.

 

[iowadawg]

Someone else who thinks they can get a TM and get away with it.
Dream on guy.

 

[iowadawg]

And a side note here:
You will not be able to sell the domain on this forum.
Simply because it is a TM.

 

[Wannabean]

Ok let's say for a minute that apple don't sue you and let you go in to competition with them for their own product.

You are seriously going to try and compete against apple in the selling of ipod's?

I'm sorry but that's delusional.

That is a straw argument. You could rule out all valid lawsuits by using your logic. I'm done with this kindergarten discussion. Based on your statements, I doubt you have EVER done anything related to law and as such I really don't care to hear anything more you have to share. You asked for an appraisal and everyone told you there is a TM issue. If you know so much, why ask us who don't have any experience in these matters?? LOL...

 

[Pandemic]

SirDrago, I don't know everything about TM violations, just more than people here. I've been through it a half dozen times. I believe that qualifies me as having a lot more experience and knowledge than most. Perhaps people have 1 domain name before, as it happens, but I lost a half dozen, one by one, lol. I learned it first hand during my noob days.
