Cybersquatting (Domain Squatting)

Tom Cruise vs. Jeff Burgar: In a 2006 case, Tom Cruise took legal action against a cybersquatter who was using the domain "tomcruise. com" to make money from advertisements. Cruise argued he had "common law trademark and service mark rights" in his name, and a World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) panel agreed, forcing the domain's transfer.

Nicole Kidman: An individual registered a domain name to impersonate Nicole Kidman, but the case was brought to WIPO, which determined the domain was used in bad faith and ordered it transferred to her ownership.

Dell: The computer company sued three website registrars in 2007 for registering and profiting from 1,100 domain names that were confusingly similar to Dell's trademarks. The company's successful lawsuit sent a message about its commitment to protecting its brand online.

ClintonKaine. com: When Tim Kaine was named Hillary Clinton's running mate, a lawyer who had registered clintonkaine. com for $8 tried to sell the domain for a high price. The website had previously featured political fan fiction, and the situation became a high-profile example of domain squatting for profit.

by the way you can also say which phone you are using

I was filling out an online form to get a product replaced. The company asked me to attach pictures showing the defect. I got an email back saying that one of the pictures contained "graphic nudity". Yikes! I had no idea I included something I shouldn't have. Now I'm wondering what they saw.

No I'm not a vlogger.

I realise for the purposes of this question, the irony of this GAG account and as an introvert (lol, yes, irony, again?). I was watching snippets or skippings of the Bieber vlogs on YouTube lately "as he's a streamer* and then I watched a bit of Kai Trump (I didn't know that relative existed or had a vlog via a YouTube channel, until tonight (yes that's a nod to the nostalgia of Recess Schools Out if you remember Principal Prickly says as much "until today" when he looks at this old peace sign pendant ✌🏻🕊️ towards the films conclusion). Classic Disney.

Anyways - what do you make of vloggers? Are you a vlogger? Doesn't it kind of become... too many eyeballs?

Hell i think it becomes too many eyeballs. While I'm running my mouth here, merrily and humbly as always, as an amateur observational comedian "how's about being a nobody - of course it's ruined now since that's been taken for two theatrical movies - yet I think there's a lot to be said for the joy of being a "actual nobody" - few socials, few presence online, and not vlogging or filming even point of view, every waking moment of our lives"

How' did i do there? Anyways. Peace 🙏🏻 ✌🏻👀😋🫣😈

Personally, unlike those films about "a Nobody" I for one just like being a standard stock character in real life, a nobody. I'm just another face in the crowd, or keeping to my own self. Yes, minus the irony of this GAG. Which I'll probably delete or leave anyways lol y'all know me, GAG, becomes tedious and publicity I'm not one for. Blah 😛🥳😶
