Viacom wants my domain name

    Recently, on Sedo, I saw a ton of traffic hit one of my domain names (from 0 people a day, to 50). I was thrilled, but had no idea what was going on.

    I typed the domain name in to Google, and saw the domain name on this page with a link to a recent filling: http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/w_agents.html

    Does anybody know what they are trying to do? Are they going to threaten me to get the domain name? It's a very generic domain name, I wish they would just offer me money for it.

    Thanks in advanced...

    Ditto. I can direct you to a person who can tell you more (Domain Lawyer)
    If it's generic sounds like a reverse highjacking attempt.

    I'm glad I designed all these comps and logos a while back showing how I envisioned how the website will look like eventually...
