Hi,
I recently received a similar letter from a large corporation
demanding that I hand over a domain that was supposedly in violation
of they're copyright. They said they'd sue me if I didn't. Long
story short, I ended up selling them the domain for $4000.

Subject: advice on domain dispute
Hey Folks,
A friend of mine who registered a domain name for his own use has
received
a threatening letter from a rather large corporation demanding that he
transfer the domain to them. He's wondering what he should do. Any
and
all advice will be very much appreciated. Here's the story. My
friend
Derek made up a name for himself (i'm not sure what his inspiration
was): Johnny Hazard. At some point he registered the corresponding
domain
name. Well, he just got a letter from Hearst corporation who
apparently
think they should own it for some reason. He is not using it for any
sort
of commercial enterprise whatsoever. He doesn't want to sell it, he
doesn't want to do anything with it except personal use. Any advice?
thanks
noah
