I almost fainted when I received this email because I spent almost all of my savings to buy it for my website plan.
Honestly the domain name pets.tv is a standard reg fee one, that's why I bought it from the former owner, I think most of you know that there are still lots of good domains that were not premium priced and were registered by people at standard reg fees, pets.tv is just one of them but it is maybe the TOP one...........

can anyone tell me what I should do right now??
I am still shaking with anger but I don't know what I can do right now......

I need your Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am about to suicide due to lossing of this domain name.............

This domain is trying to being taken away because it was an EX-Premium REgistration Fee domain (something like lcd.tv). I was monitoring the domain and somehow the guy beat me by .5 seconds....

Maybe their policy is to take away the domain that slip through the cracks of the "premium registration" system.

I think even so, how can they made mistakes and we, who are their clients and buy their products legally, suffer ?
I think "deal is deal".

Fleaking and I have spoken to verisign he will get an email from a manager and then we will take it from there to find out why. Verisign does not take domains back for the reason they were premium and slipped through I would tell Scott Higgason all the time of domains that were mispriced and he said you should reg it that cheap never did they adjust the pricing I showed him LLL.tv for $100 and $200 all the time never were they adjusted. This is a unique situation Which ultimately will mean that the original registrant has adispute with Verisign and FLEAKING dealing with the original registrant

FLEAKING go to chat I created a .tv room anyone else feel free

It is not fraud I called Verisign go to chat

Sorry if I am missing the obvious but where is the .tv room located at? I was hoping a .tv room existed.

When was this name transfered into your account? Where does this name registred? The who is shows, registration services provided by xzone.com which is a parked page presently, how come?

SO the top question, what kind of procedure is used to register this name? Private API or what. Very confusing.

Also, did the name ever resolve after you changed the nameservers or you never checked?

Thanks,

GH

the registration date is Dec 12
xzone.com is my domain name
pets.tv is registered at enom,
I don't know what kind of procedure is used to register this name and I think it doesn't matter whether the procedure is because it was definitely available for standard reg.

I sure did change the nameservers,
I set the nameservers to my webspace and it used to resolve.

 

[dndriver]

the whois shows verisign just sold this name to petstv.com! shit!

 

[fleaking]

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My domain name has been sold by VeriSign to PetsTV.com and they changed the ownership right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the fXXk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a christmas gift for me!!!!!!!!!!!

who can help me to get my domain name back

 

[gr8trfoo]

who can help me to get my domain name back

Ari Goldberg, John Berryhill or possibly Stephen Sturgeon are your best bets. Get proactive and enlist one of these guys PDQ. Expect to pay or if you have no more funds you might be able to negotiate a % of the name. But if you want to get your name back you'll act fast.

 

[*AllThings.tv*]

Wow, this is a major setback for enom. Not a good sign of things to come if all the facts are here and they truly removed the name from your account and transferred it to petstv.com

I did some research and it seems like these guys have the following trademarks:

PetsTV;
Pets TV; and
PetsTV.com

These are all trademarked. The fact that they do not have Pets.tv may indirectly support a legal argument that Pets.tv is distinguishable from PetsTV.com.

In fact, if you look further down that list, .TV Corporation International owns the rights to Pets.TV.

However, the abandonment date was July 3, 2000

Holy sh*t.... this is unreal! I'm sure I'm not the only one who will support you on this one Fleaking! I can't believe these guys would even attempt such a thing. WTF!

 

[yesonline]

So should we start to worry about our .tv names all the time if someday they would disappear from my account just because some big guy wants it?

Fleaking did not reg this domain, edited at original registrants request (story gets stranger and stranger) did so verisign not ENOM has to tell ******* how the reg was not valid. Now if they have a tm which can expire they can still use common law tm they may have gone after this domain UDRP style too just like Speed Channel did for Speed.tv. Fleaking did they send you the email?

 

[fleaking]

Neither he nor I received the email,
they cancelled my domain name before sending me email.

 

[dndriver]

thank you for your info. but from the email verisign sent, it is not the reason why this name is canceled. If it has tm problem, petstv.com should files a dispute for the name firstly. The registry has not the right the cancel domains for potential tm issue.

Fleaking you have to get the original registrant involved here because this is like for analogy purposes ( NOT SAYING ANYONE STOLE ANYTHING) Person A stole a tv you purchased the tv from person A the store or police come to you and say you are the recipient of stolen tv your only recourse is with person A not the store because you did not transact business with the Store

SO here you transacted no Business with Verisign the original anonymous NP registrant did so whatever renumeration you paid them you will have to get back from them not Verisign

 

[mkylut]

..Person A stole a tv you purchased the tv from person A the store or police come to you and say you are the recipient of stolen tv your only recourse is with person A not the store because you did not transact business with the Store...

Sorry, my english is poor. I need someone to explain this hard analogyin much simpler way... Thanks
