trademarks. trademarks are for idiots. look at the mess icann made with trademarks. i'm sure based on your tone we agree that nonsense won't fly. just read our domain agreement. at .GOD we don't have domain holders. we make domain owners. we are the licensor and they the licensee. > And the only thing Goolnik was fined for is that he didn't made it pretty > clear that his domain names do not work > (at the moment), like VeriSigns IDNs didn't worked when they offered it. > He wasn't fined for offering .GOD domain names. well - i believe that was an intentional marketing ploy. in fact goolnik made it very clear they would work - within a specific time reference he did not meet as far as i can tell. i've been in touch with alot of his domain holders and they keep in touch with me. so i get tidbits here and there. and sleeze - as soon as 9/11 came down goolnik was selling .usa domains to tearful americans all in the name of pride. he should of been in government - i think he missed his calling. > Some other companies (DomainIsland,..) wanted to sue New.net because the > "duplicated" some of their TLDs (.shop,...). > Haven't heard that they were successful. i don't know either. but they are not recognized in inclusive namespace as having title http://www.dot-god.com/cgi-bin/whoisd/whois.cgi?name=shop so they will be recognized on judgement day. the unfortunate problem with new root is that they choose to go it alone and they violated a very imporant inclusive namespace rule - thou shalt not collide. this rule is flexible. the inclusive namespace tld .biz was dropped from the inclusive namespace. one operator dropped and the others quickly followed. and the demand for change came from inclusive namespace isp's poor little .biz could not compete with the icann collission. but i cann confirm there is legal action in the wind directed at icann for that nauty indescretion. remember - you heard it here first. regards joe baptista Joe Baptista - only at www.baptista.god Can you see this domain http://www.baptista.god/ if ANSWER = NO THEN U.S. government controls your surfing habits if ANSWER = YES THEN your a pioneer and you already know whats going on find out more http://www.pacificroot.com/ (Americas) or http://www.newroot.com/ (Europa)
