If Remedy had remained a stand alone company, those prices MAY be justified. As it is... he has been paying to maintain the domain names for however long he has had them for no real reason. I understand that Bing is a well known and respected member of the Remedy community, but what he is

The FTC forbids using registered trademarks in domain names for commercial websites unless you are the owner of the trademark. Period. If you use one of these it is quite possible (no idea how likely...) you would get a registered, hand delivered piece of mail telling you to cease and desist,

William, I agree with you about the FTC restrictions, but how is Remedyinsertword.com different than Arslist.com? Don't they both refer to trademarked product names? I don't think anyone anticipates BMC sending Dan a CD letter about the ARSList, but from a legal perspective, it seems that they

Well in this climate of trying to 'socialize' everything (which I am not in favor of), I think it's alright to keep the capitalistic approach. That's what the United States of America is founded on, and has proved successful. Yes, there will always be rip-offs but that's the challenge of 'buyer

Agreed on all counts - and I've been to your site numerous times myself of course. I'm pretty sure BMC would count you among the good guys. I would just hate to see someone buy that domain, do a 301/302 re-direct it to their own website (or some other commercial use) and get in trouble for not

This is not always the case. For example, if someone registered remedysucks.com and used it to sell T-shirts with smart alec quips about things they don't like about Remedy, I think it would be legal under the first amendment. In that case, they are mocking the product, which is a form of
