LH.com Lost !

[Pred]

Reverse hijacking is on the increase guys.
LH.com has just been lost by elequa.

Feel bad for him as this is a terrible decision by wipo imho and it raises questions about their integrity and conduct imo

I disagree that they should have been given a huge payment for the domain, as that implies there was some aspect of the wipo that remained valid.

The only legitimate result of this should have been a rejection of the hijacking attempt, plain and simple. I would certainly hope this gets reversed, and that the culprits get a humiliating, financially brutalizing WWE-styled smackdown - anything less leaves the door open for large scale sniping.

He was offered $1Million for the domain people did offer to buy the domain and 1million bucks is a fair deal.
Domains do not belong to the registrants and yes it can be taken away if abused.
If you are hoarding many lll.coms and ll.coms that is just hijacking the market IMHO.
Its called GREED

First come first serve.
So you're saying somebody who spends a lot of effort working towards earning a lot of money should have that money taken from them, because they own too much?

 

[equity78]

The thing that's interesting is they made an offer to buy it and Elequa only wanted to lease the domain out. That should be proof to the WIPO if they felt they were the rightful owner why did they offer to buy it ?

he doesn't sell. he's come on record and said before. his privilege.
i respect that. that will also help his defence. lufthansa are gonna get a rocket up their german arse lol

i have no great respect for him for his empire or anything as he's not self made, he has an incredibly rich family by all accounts, however what he invests in is his business, he's hurting no-one and he develops too, he is slowly building up sites.

btw, his buyouts of lll.biz, lll.info have raised prices for us all don't forget
although his biz investment is not looking too sexy
:sold:

 

[-REECE-]

I don't know why he offered to lease it? Regardless, the decision has wrong written all over it. Lufthansa is entitled to Lufthansa.com, that I can understand and agree to... But LH.com?

The Internet was not created for some specific people to milk it. It was created for legit uses.

yup, we've seen this before, normally the panel get it right when they see people have bmade approaches to buy then had a hissy fit which is what 'those dicks lufthansa the incompetent airline' (just want that indexed lol).
another sign the 'panel' are at best incompetent

this will get overturned im sure, shame all the lawyers and wipo dont get fined after, bitches

 

[equity78]

Who are you to say what is legit, there is nothing illegitimate about registering domains so you are way off.

Thats right! All these prices are just fabricated due to one person owning all these domains. They are false values and can crash at any time if policy changes on how many domains a person can own.

I love when people pontificate about what the internet "was created for" there is no one it is only your opinion. And if you look at stats depending on who puts the stats out but either 20 % or 1 in 5 or 25% 1 in 4 searches is for porn. So I guess the internet was created as a masturbatory tool.

Okay, same logic, your house was not built for you to keep it, if a business wants to build a hog farm there, that's their right. Plus, if you won't sell, they can take it for free.

Again, same logic, I create a business, you decide you should own that business because it was a great idea. You take my shares from me just because you think you should own it instead of me. Hmmm, how is that fair again?


Suggesting that a business enterprise is not legitimate use would cut internet usage by 99.9999999999999 percent, and virtually NO ONE could own a domain name.

Why am I way off? I did not say you can’t register domains. I said it is wrong to hoard the market for your own greed. Domains do not belong to you it is not a fixture but a leased commodity

 

[gazzip]

Thats sick, I really hope he sues the shit out of them - scamming wan***s

Elequa has his own registrar and could have moved it there, but he kept it at Moniker. Wil be interesting to follow the story

He previously lost a very good generic "because" he moved the name

A guy from Hawaii also lost a GEO name for basically not using it for years, ie: not developing or parking it :o

It seems the only way to protect your names is to develope them and make sure it does'nt have anything to do with any TM holders.


Sucks big time that something so generic can be TMarked

A business is legit. A service is legit. But hoarding names is not. Most of the better domains are in the hands of owners who park them. What use is that to the net?

DOMI you ought to worry about making good on bids you make and not reneging on the bid.

If you own any vacant land please fill up a quick claim deed to have it transferred to me so that I can build a home on it. If you paid monies for the land I am very sorry because I want it for free so I can provide highest and best use of it. Domi, your statement is utter nonsense.

That is the sad part

That has nothing to do with this conversation.
As a mod you should be more professional

In your opinion, understand you are one of 6.6 billion your opinion means nothing more, nothing less

No it makes perfect sense you are criticizing a legitimate domainer in a domain forum and you reneg on a bid.

The bid has nothing to do with this debate. Anyways that was Handled between me and the seller. How is he a legitimate domainer? what is he doing other than hoarding domains for his own personal game?
