Domain Names: A Sneaky Attempt To Take My Name

Written by Charles L. Harmon


Continued from page 1

I quickly composed a letter and emailed it to that registrar expressing my thoughts. I also raisedrepparttar price ofrepparttar 105210 domain name once I had sentrepparttar 105211 email. Because I was upset aboutrepparttar 105212 matter I decided to raiserepparttar 105213 selling price by a factor of ten. I never received a response from my email and assumedrepparttar 105214 matter was closed.

Well, to make a long story short I received three more emails withinrepparttar 105215 next three weeks, each with attempts to get me to transfer my domain name to them. The emails included dubious documentation and said “You must agree to enter into a new Registration Agreement with us”. I ignored all attempts to sign away my domain name torepparttar 105216 other registrar.

The last four attempts to get me to surrender my domain name all occurred just after ICANN changedrepparttar 105217 rules pertaining to domain names. That new ruling took affect November 12, 2004 making it easier (in my opinion) for someone to sneakily transfer a domain name. Withrepparttar 105218 current new rules it seems all you have to do is not respond to your registrar within five days of them sending you notice indicating your domain name is being transferred. If you happen to be on vacation, not respond to your email quickly, or overlook such email, you may find yourself short a domain name. If however, your domain name(s) is locked, then you shouldn’t have to worry about that problem. My impression is that many registrars are now locking domain names by default so they cannot be transferred automatically, but you should check yours to be sure.

All this fuss over a domain name I made up got me thinking about my rights to my domain name. I checkedrepparttar 105219 Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, signed by President Clinton, November 29, 1999. I’m no lawyer, but it does not look favorable for me, even though I made up a name I did not think anyone else had. I’ll let yourepparttar 105220 reader checkrepparttar 105221 law and come to your own conclusion.

There has been no further action on that domain name and it has been two and a half months sincerepparttar 105222 last attempt to transfer it away from me. Is thisrepparttar 105223 end of that saga?
