Bodog keeps losing it’s domain names.
It’s a sad day for Bodog. Although I’ve been turned down for there affiliates program several times now, I’m actually starting to feel sorry for them. They lost Bodog.com in court and are now losing newbodog.com domain. They created Bodoglife.com now and will probably lose that. I don’t think anyone should have that kind of control over us and unless we use our domains for hate or child porn, I don’t think they should be able to take it over. So I have to show alliance with Bodog on this matter even though they snubbed me on numerous occasions.
This is happening all over the internet unfortunately not just with Bodog. So many companies are trying to get a monopoly of certain words or phrases which will hurt a lot of domain owners, buyers and sellers.
A bill was introduced in the US Senate by Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) that aims to drastically expand the scope of rights associated with a trademark outside the realm of traditional trademark law.
If this bill is passed it would immediately give large businesses and government agencies the ability to claim countless valuable and legitimate domains from their current owners.
