Evil Lawyers Decend And Spew Venom...

[nielsencl]

I just got a C & D registered letter for the second time. The timing is great since I just finished reading the Nov-Dec 2007 issue of Domainer's Magazine that had a couple of GREAT articles on this very topic.

In my case, the 5 parked domains are not making much and not worth much to sell, and some DO use the company's mark. So I am just giving them up.

But it's funny because they send this nasty letter and demand that I transfer the domains to them, yet they don't say how I should transfer the domains?

I have a few other domains that someone could want and that would be hard to defend, so I'm dropping them as soon as I can.

I just wish they could try being nice to start with. I know that wouldn't work with some domainers here, but I think a lot of us are willing to give in when a company does have a pretty good position, no?

I don't think it is a sign of weakness or something that puts the company at a disadvantage, so why not be nice at first? Ebay was pretty nice last year when they contacted me, and I really appreciated it. It would save a lot of legal fees that are wasted, in my opinion...

Evil C&D letters are often cost-efficient. In many cases the might-makes-right, scare-the-bejesus-out-of-you strategy works so well on the first try that many twitterpated recipients just automatically flush the domain toilet...which eliminates the need for a 2nd or 3rd letter oozing even more vile and vitriol.

From my registrar:

Unavailable Domains Reason
evillawyers.com domain name not available
evilawyers.com domain name not available
evil-lawyers.com domain name not available

Looks pretty obvious what domainers think about lawyers then.

So, what do domainers think about the competent lawyers who zealously defend them, and who often times give them free advice in this forum?

competentlawyers.com available but for how long? :yell: May reg later

Seriously though, I hear what you say and am seriously thinking about a distance learning LLM in IP from London Uni (not a lawyer but you dont have to be to do it). Sometimes lawyers and their legal qualifications are invaluable of course.

Personally, I think they are great! Well, as long as they are not defending squatters and infringers...

Usually, they don't know how. Unlock the names, send them the auth codes, and it's an outside chance they'd know what to do.
