how about? http://googleadsensegenerator.com/ http://googleurdu.com?? http://googledaili.com http://www.googleoffice.com/ http://googleweb.com http://googlenow.com and there are still alot more i can tell you bro if google have to sue then they must be ready to face hundrads not only me .....right?
Lot's of people rob banks, so using your idiot logic, it must be ok! Lot's of people lose their adsense accounts for not following the tos (one of which is not using "google" in your domain name - soon you'll be one!
Talk to a lawyer before giving up. Don't let them push you around. For facebook to proceed with legal filings is very expensive for them, just keep that in mind.
Well, it's because what you posted can mislead people into some false sense of security. Sure some folks can correct others without being too serious, but it doesn't help anyone to be told things that's both misleading and inaccurate to begin with, right?
I think putting a "Disclaimer" should be nice! DP members having knowledge of writing such docs, may help. Also, at the end of the page, put a note that your site is not associated with or have anything to do with facebook and let the FB guys know that! That should help
I have visited your website and couldn't figure whats the problem with facebook you are not violating any of infringement conditions :-S
yeah nice idea..i have put this disclaimer as a precaution ..hehe But its mistake by most of people..One should add Disclaimer at first step ..which he didnt before..Now the only thing you try to convince them. that you arent tryig to affect facebook, Intead Customiazedfacebook.com is teaching people about facebook.com, So they should be happy
wtf... Why not just say your site is, Customise Face Book. The words face and book are not trademarked, and are dictionary words. Then all you've done is not put spaces in your domain.. Just my idea, may be wrong, but I'm not the sort of person that listens to legal threats.
Each company enforces their own brand copyright differently. Obviously FaceBook doesn't like you trying to use their brand name as a domain for your site. Whether it's spaced/hyphenated/etc... No matter how you put it, facebook doesn't like their name in a domain name not owned by them. I think even fasebook.com might still yield problems. Plus no matter how much you make on the site will ever make up for the money in legal issue you will spend. FaceBook is bigger than most of us and probably has a whole legal team in-house ready to pounce on this. In the end, you'll be paying their legal fees when you lose. Google might not enforce this as much. MySpace might not care. Who knows... I would 301 redirect for 30 days, post as many links to the new domain as possible, and move on with life.
Googledaily is an idiot, and so is anyone who believes anything he posts. A disclaimer won't protect you. It doesn't matter how many other words or hyphens you put in a domain name, doesn't matter what you say it stands for or how you pronounce it, if it includes "facebook" it is infringement. Read the case of "Perfume Bay" vs. Ebay to see what can happen to you - and how to lose over $600,000 arguing (and losing) a trademark case.
If this doesn't convince you and others about having disclaimers on domains bearing trademarks: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/overview/index.html#35 Then I don't know what will. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, but I guess one can always hide from others who listen to what's potentially wrong. Ignore above at your own peril.
you are bigger idiot than me. You people only can threat because you dont have any advice. Because to give an advice it is necessary to have brain. Which you dont have
Maybe that's what you meant to say. Unfortunately that's not what you said: Suppose a newbie saw what you said above, did as you posted, but was later held liable successfully. Good for you if you're right, but what are you prepared to do for that newbie if it's later proven wrong? Or...are we just going to think, "Oops, I told someone something wrong so I'm just going to hide since he can't get or hurt me", anyway? Just something to probably consider, if ever. To the rest of you not necessarily familiar with these things: be cautious who you listen to. At the end of the day, only you will be held accountable for all or any of your actions despite what others told you.
You are wrong. The second comment is too absurd to respond to. There are employed lawyers who have answered these questions. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to red rep you again in the legal section for your horrible advice.
Doesn't it feel good to be so bold and anonymous? Until someone serves you a filed suit in your jurisdiction, maybe, and some are smart enough to figure out despite the supposed anonymity. (Got nothing else to do. Heh.)
I suggest you drop it...It seemed genuine to me.....a very professional letter. Just make sure its genuine.
