I just got this e-mail from Sedo...

Dear Mr. ***,

We are writing to inform you that Sedo has received a complaint of potential trademark infringement regarding the use of the following domain names in conjunction with Sedo services:

nyseboard.com

Due to the famous nature of the trademark contained in the domain at issue, Sedo is forced to remove your domain from the domain marketplace and parking program at this time. This action in no way affects your registration or control of the domain, your Sedo user account or the other domains you have listed for sale or parked with Sedo. However, due to the potential of infringement of a famous mark Sedo must do the following:

- Suspend the domain name from our domain marketplace

$ifBlockPark:- Suspend the domain name from our parking program

Sedo takes great pains to strike a balance between the legitimate rights of domain owners and third party intellectual property owners and require verification of legal complaints before taking any action against a domain listed for sale or parked with Sedo.

If you have any questions regarding this message, or if you believe this action was taken in error, please contact the Sedo legal department at .

Sincerely,

Sedo Legal Department

If I ever decide to establish this domain, don't you think I can pull off saying it's "Nice" board instead of NYSE (new york stock exchange). Like a forum about happiness? In all honesty, I originally registered the domain with both ideas in mind.

What do you think?
