I still only have a few secs..
But it is the law that matters.
Unless you fought it and wound up in court he could never get
any legal order to compel the paymaster to hold funds in
your acct. and give them to someone else.
And unless you violated a TOS along the way you could stir some
shit yourself if that happened.
As far as influence goes you're making money for that party
paying you, the TM beefer isn't..
If you obeyed the C&D his only recourse would be to take you
to Civil Court which takes years in the US and spend big bucks to
collect pennies in return on a hard case to win
In other words it's not worth it..
Also they don't like the publicity because it gives others ideas.

I think we're in the same book but on different pages...
You refer to Expensive Domains and ClickCash delivered
from the Mint!
I'd be the last person to spend good money on any Domain I
could lose in the future.
But I don't call Reg'n a $6.95 domain a big expendature, besides
when I pick them up they're $2.75 nets or 60 cent infos.
Plus they're not flagrent eyepoppers like Adobe1 or Xeroxpaper.

The intent of both threads hasn't been to have a legal boxing match
but to dispell the ideas that violating a TM is a hanging offence.

Anyone who doesn't check a few things, TDs being one of them when
paying good money for a domain to use or put on the shelf for later
as an investment shouldn't even be wasting their time here.

But from my view as someone who doesn't only buy a few
domains as an investment for the future but has a good nut to
pay every month I need to generate cash flow, if I had to go in
my pocket every month I'd spend more time fishing.
Therefore turning 60 cent infos and $2.75 nets with a few hundred
in ClickCash monthly I pay the nut and pick up 20 or 30 good Domains
to tuck-away for that rainy day.
It also gives me time to read up on what's going on in the world.
And when I see one of the largest media groups in the world branding
a new word I pay attention.
Zap2--------------- could be a household word in the future so why
wouldn't I pick up some Legal Domains to ride the wave.
The 100 bucks I have in it I can get back anytime or not lose much
BUT the Proffit that could turn up is endless.
By the way I did talk to a mouthpiece 2 weeks ago about TMs and
that's where half of my comments in this thread came from.
Check out The Site http://www.Zap2it.com
This is going to be a big time heavy traffic site soon.........

The owners and backers of the site are one of the largest newspapers
in the US, The Chicago Tribune.
And they're not just a Newspaper, Besides owning The Chicago Cubs
they own TV and Radio stations around the country including WGN
am and fm.
WGN TV is a major Independent network and is carried by Sat. and
all Cable Cos.
You can watch WGN in The Virgin Islands and almost everywhere
CNN or Turner affis are.
So if they keep promoting that domain which they will it'll
be interesting to say the least.

Back to the TMs, I agree with most of what you're saying, but as
I said the mention of TDs was more to emphizize the fact that it's
no big storm in the sky for most of us and not something to get
an ulcer over..
