Zune TM's

[StoneRoses]

With the recent news of Microsoft Zune and bearing in mind Microsofts Zero Tolerance on tm's.

What if you registered Zune.cctld ext,would you expect a C&D letter?


As they haven't actually confirmed it will be called this yet,i would be interested to know your views.

Many Thanks

also wondering this as I see their are a nice little handfull of zune.cctld's..

It all depends on 2 dates:
1) dom reg date.
2) MS TM reg date.
The earlier one rules

i think the guy who registered MicrosoftZune.com on July 11th has some worries for sure

And I think the people who own Zune.com are either going to get a lot of money from MS or they will make a ton of money from people looking for Zune stuff provided they throw some sort of page up...

They've owned the domain since 98 so I dont think MS stands a chance of taking it from them.

 

[actelvision]

Lol...maybe a "Sado-Maso"...

 

[Monsterman]

What about the name MicroZune.com What do you think?

 

[End User King]

Im gonna sell off mines. Anyone want a good for for $500000 pm me...lol!

 

[Ronald Regging]

I missed the Zune thread until it was far too late. NamePros should have some kind of email notification for hot new threads... But I think by the time I got that, it'd be too late anyway

I'm shocked Microsoft hadn't purchased zune.com before going ahead and making the announcment.

 

[actelvision]

What about the name MicroZune.com What do you think?

Micro is generic (nano,pico... ) not a big souci ...i think ..but not guaranty..lol

I've still yet to actually see this announcement by Mircosoft.

 

[Ronald Regging]

they own the domain zunelive.com so it's a credible assumption.

I think you guys have nothing to worry about , It's just another code name IMO.. Unlce Bill has been going to great lenghts recently to Cover All his bases , Even Buying alot of IDN's in New Products he plans on releasing

I think what he is getting at is that if they seriously planned to call it Zune, they would have bought the domain from the owner long before the announcement... There hasn't been an official announcement, so Zune is entirely speculation at this point...

 

[GreenGambler]

they own the domain zunelive.com so it's a credible assumption.

That means nothing... ... Perhaps they are coming out with a new game called Zune, along the lines of Dune?

 

[Ronald Regging]

And I could be the next CEO of Microsoft... Anything's possible, but I'd rather speculate on on a credible assumption rather than take a shot in the dark or wait for an official announcement and be completely left out... If it turns out it's not called Zune, well something will be, and depending on the domain you registered, it may be applicable for that something... I didn't register any Zune domains, but this industry is extremely speculative, so it's better to make your moves based on credible assumptions then to be left behind.

MS has deep pockets ... look at live.com. They had Windows Live, Office Live, etc. in development before they acquired that domain.

 

[cwnt]

Maybe the owner of zune.com didn't wish to sell the domain. Unlikely, but might be the reason.
