Abject Stupidity

[jberryhill]

So, some idiot paid $800 for this domain name, made a custom banner to advertise it in specific association with the movie franchise, and thinks someone is going to pay $100k for it?

If this is something that strikes you as a good idea then, please, get out of domaining immediately.

He clearly likes his UDRPs shaken, not stirred.

 

[jberryhill]

There is no reference to any existing TM's. None. Zero.

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.

 

[jberryhill]

How do you assume its used for the Trademarks.
Are you suggesting that a person named "James" can't use that domain in good faith?..Lets see the intent, before we prosecute.

It's pretty simple what the seller's intent is based upon. Is "James" middle name "007"?

Look at the ad banner:

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.

 

[Internet.Domains]

James.Bond is a great name for only $800. By far the best in that extension, imo.

We have really lost our creativity and adventure when industry respected representatives call out domain purchases as "abject stupidity" and "idiot"....The industry reps are turning this place into a cesspool of negativity.

 

[johnn]

Because James Bond is famous.

Big problem with newbies: trying to get TM names so they can get rich quick.

Common question in the newbie section:
There is a company call Dick (may be Dick Sporing Goods)
Can I register BiggerDick and sell to them?

 

[CraigD]

I naively assumed it had something to do with the Bond franchise because it was so blatant even down to the graphics.

I suggested on another thread that they use a subdomain Bond.James.Bond

 

[The Durfer]

bail.bond is the best one. imo.

 

[branding]

On whois the registrant organisation appears to be ShortDot, the registry.

 

[tonyk2000]

As a side note, I really like South America. They have some potential endusers for the domain in question:

One James Bond lives in Peru:

Another resides in Dominican Republic

And, the last but not the least. Beautiful country of Ecuador. No detected James Bonds, but still...

 

[Nikul Sanghvi]

Slightly surprised that this banner passed the litmus test for being ad-worthy on here.

Expected better from @NamePros

 

[jberryhill]

I just don't get it. Who does this person think is going to pay $100k for that name?

 

[johnn]

People needs to learn from the expert like Adam Dicker. Only buy and sell names that you have expertise.
He bought and sold AssHoles.com
This is how you should do it. Dicker is an expert in AssHoles

 

[adaaja98]

at least they pay the advertisement fee to support this forum

 

[MadAboutDomains]

If the registrant of james.bond and 007.bond is Shortdot and they are the owners of the .bond domain name registry and it's their advert then they're potentially putting the entire project on the line. You can't create an advertisement and say it's nothing to do with "James Bond" the franchise when you include 007 in the advert at the same time.

Surely the registry wouldn't be so stupid?

 

[jberryhill]

Is the ad banner the registrant?

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.

 

[Samer]

Worst part?

.bond has $800 renewals —

 

[MadAboutDomains]

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought the same thing when I saw it. 007 is a trademark and clearly James Bond is.

 

[Samer]

bail.bond is the best one. imo.

Close. Junk.bond is the best imo

Samer

 

[Chris Hydrick]

I said this once before many years ago but I feel the need to repeat it again:

"Anyone who likes lawyers never met J Berryhill"

That's funny, because I had quite the opposite experience. I hadn't had much faith in domain lawyers until I started reading @jberryhill.

Without the steady/educational hand of intelligent members such as @jberryhill, I fear The Great Dumbing Down could have been/could be much worse.

Could that idiot be the .bond registry? They don't strike me as the smartest lot... You know... Launching a .bond TLD.

 

[jberryhill]

James.Bond is a great name for only $800.

What on earth makes you believe that spending $800 on an immediately-recognizable well-known trademark is a good idea? It's just plain stupid. A cesspool of cyberquatting is more like it.

How do you assume its used for the Trademarks.
Are you suggesting that a person named "James" can't use that domain in good faith?..Lets see the intent, before we prosecute.

[JB Lions]

Can you ever debate without condescending and unprofessional attacks?

You continually antagonize and disrespect those that disagree with you.

I see posts in this forum removed daily for much less. Its too bad the mods let you rant instead of debate.

You don't really debate. You post truly ridiculous stuff, people point it out and you respond like what you posted isn't truly crazy. This is yet another example, clear TM issues. It's amazing to see some of the posts in this thread. You even posted a James Bond movie video clip in an earlier thread, so you know it as well.

The ad isn't James.Bond and Sarah.Bond and Richard.Bond. It's James Bond, 007 and in a suit he normally wears - https://www.google.com/search?q=jam...WLc98KHVWFDvoQ_AUoAnoECCUQBA&biw=1536&bih=694
