I fail to see, whatever conclusion one arrives at regarding the decision, how anyone can possibly blame the complainant.

Asset stripping (taking) via the UK DRS is "a OK" with you then?

I don't blame them.

They used a legally available option to get what they wanted.

They didn't make the game, they're just playing it.

Interestingly written, chose to make paramount the bad guys.

The alternative angle obviously being "parmount pictures secures paramount.co.uk from evil domain squatter"

Its not quite as bad as it could have been. When it had "Mr Hugh, of The Willows, who has personally owned the domain name ‘paramount.co.uk’ since December last year" near the top I thought they were going to ignore the fact the change of ownership was rather dubious, so I was surprised when they did go on to mention that.

Probably because it's a "local news" story in the local paper - Great Chesterton being just down the road from Cambridge - so they're siding with the "home team".

I don't have much sympathy - seems 100% correct decision.

There used to be a lot of discussion about drop catching and why people managed to hoover up all the top domains. Denys published this last year about Andy Hugh (and others) - well worth a read at least in terms of the some of the earlier history of drop catching.

Its not question for me but I will chip in.

DRS have problems and Nominet has been made aware of those problems long ago. You probably would find very old posts about DRS not being fair on Acorn as well.

Because its free to make a complain, anyone can do it and see what response comes bac. If domain is parked its even possible to pay for bogus links trough PPC provider, then take the scree shot and you have an evidence of abuse. I don't recommend anyone to do it, all I say that all it is possible.

If response is weak, Nominet can convince Respondent during mediation to hand over the domain (what an outcome from little bit of clever planning!) or you pay £750+ VAT for Expert decision. Sounds like a business plan isn't?

There have been such things trough DRS in the past.

On another hand, if you are Respondent and you put good response, chances are that you will keep the domain. Such decision would give you right to use domain like you have done (that also could be starched out) and the decision can not be challenged in court. Your domain is little bit more valuable.

That doesn't mean that DRS totally abused and that all decisions are not fair. Most of them are fair.

"In this context he proceeded to “suggest a deal” which he believed the Respondent “would go for”, in terms of a £50,000 4 up-front payment with a further £7000 a year for ten years, totalling £120,000 in
all."

Regardless of the outcome, what on earth made the "broker" think that a company the size of Paramount would be interested in paying by instalments over ten years ? Retard !

That link made quite an interesting read! This life .....!

Bear in mind that although there may be facts within it, the article as a whole is an opinion. It was also written by someone who was once a direct competitor of Andy Hugh (TagNames) therefore it cannot possible not be considered biased. When you (and Brassneck) post here, referencing it, and rubber stamping it with "interesting read" (a sorely overused statement on this forum, notwithstanding "cracker"/cracking [domain]") whilst it might well appear to be that, remember who wrote it and where it has been published.

Something that is actually factually provable, yet something Deny's doesn't appear to have gotten around to writing a blog post about, is that Deny's himself lost three DRS over a period of approximately four months back in 2007 and therefore had the "honour" of landing himself a position on the, now seemingly defunct, Nominet DRS "three strikes" page. Fortunately for him he has won two others since. Andy Hugh has lost fewer, if any (putting aside paramount). Andy hasn't chosen to opine about Deny's losses on any blog as far as I am aware, whilst Deny's does like to opine. Deny's also likes to present himself as entirely virtuous yet as far as I am aware none of his domain operations have ever received an independent audit, therefore aside from simply trusting him I legitimately wonder how can anyone possibly know for sure that some of the claims that he might make are accurate? We just trust him without question, right?

I respect Deny's for his technical abilities but I find many of his arguments/opinions/claims/statements easy to knock down. Perhaps he should consider being transparent and opening up his operations to close scrutiny before he writes articles featuring his opinions about those [operations] of his [former] competitors.

Roll on more stupid posts from Murray. ;-)

You begging for my attention is quite awkward.

 

[Murray]

No need to quote my post in its entirety. I don't want your attention. I'm tired of responding to so much of the ill thought out rubbish you post but I feel that someone has to. Please don't respond with another "oh boo-boo, why cannot we all get along post" this time! Please just think more about what you post before you post it. You're no longer 14. Thank you.

All I see in your posts is "look at me, look at me, look at me" you're quite the queen..

I'm not really interested in your opinion, if your sole purpose when starting off a post is to express it to me then rest assured you can stop before you start and spend the time doing something more constructive.

 

[Brassneck]

You must have been chopping at the bit over the past year to finally have a chance to chime in with a response to something like this from me! Anyway don't get too distracted and make yourself late for work. That A32 must be an utter nightmare.

Is there anybody else you would like to insult this morning?

:lol: 'Interesting' things (true, false or exaggerated) are written and said about people all the time!

 

[Murray]

I believe it should be done in a balanced way.

People might be more open to listening to your opinions and what you "believe" if your posts weren't laced with insults.

 

[Murray]

Did I ever suggest that I thought people weren't listening (you mean reading) to my opinions? I don't believe I did. People have replied to my posts so they must be reading them. My posts are about as laced with actual insults as much as Ilfracombe is with prostitution. You've probably heard a lot worse from drag acts at your local haunt! ;-)

No I didn't mean reading because reading wouldn't convey what I meant; hearing and listening are different things fyi.

If you're going to try and correct me at least be smart enough to do it properly :wink:

 

[Murray]

I, myself, wouldn't use "listen" if I wasn't also talking about the conveyance of sound. I'd use something else. You seem to be, therefore I appreciate what you actually meant and my previous answer applies. However I'm not actually sure what else you could respond with! ;-)




(from iPhone)

wiggle wiggle wiggle.. you were still wrong & you know it

Anywho, all I'm saying is if your purpose on the forum is to convey your opinion and have others listen (yes listen, not read) to it, you would do a lot better to keep on topic and not include insults in your posts.

 

[Murray]

You presume I do but right now I actually don't know whether I am or I'm not.

Then maybe you will want to do some research before trying to correct someone again.

Although no one is asking or appreciative of you tying to correct their language so probably for the best not to bother..

Almost everything I have posted has been on topic. It was actually you that went completely off topic in post #59, and then again in #63, not adding anything to the overall thread subject. Poster "seemly" did the same later on and has never contributed anything on topic to this thread.

In respect of "including insults", is "Roll on more stupid posts from Murray ;-)" actually an insult if I do consider some of your posts to be stupid? The rest came from you and others.

Feel free to get this back on topic, perhaps by replying to some of the on topic posts I've most recently added, if you have anything you consider of value. I'm sure those interested in this topic would be delighted!

I tried ignoring you and your snideness then you decided to start petty & needless name calling (and you called me childish, funny.)

You felt the need to comment on my posting style & now I've advised you on how you could vastly improve yours.

I've personally got nothing else to add to the thread or ask, so I'm out

 

[Admin]

Time out guys, please leave it there or I will close this thread.

Many thanks
