Different situation. My bet was about Coke (or pick a company that has lawyers on staff -- anyone except e-gold).
Well, I can certainly create cokeforums.com as a discussion about cocaine.
However, someone using the similar script-style lettering and selling signs that said "Enjoy Cocaine" LOST a case to Coca Cola in the late '70s or early '80s, so I'd suggest NOT-using their script. (Also, my bet wasn't about your cokeforums, it was about COCA-COLAforums. Discussing cocaine there might become interesting, but only in terms of pre-1913 ingredients.)
You completely ignored that my primary argument is based on the fact e-gold is descriptive.
That's because e-gold is descriptive of exactly ONE company, the one that trademarked both e-gold and egold long ago. If this counts as ignoring your argument, so be it, but your argument flunks the laugh-test IMO!!!
Tell me, is egold == e-gold(R). How does one abbreviate "electronic
gold" when one is not referring to a particular implementation of it?
That's not e-gold's problem, but the community seems to have settled upon "DGC." Whether this is a good thing or not doesn't matter here (at least the term DGC doesn't infringe on someone's property!!).
Hell, I will *pay* E-Gold Ltd to pursue UDRP against me once I have some bankroll, just to set a precedent.
Hmm. Why am I wishing this message was PGPsigned? :) Do inform [EMAIL PROTECTED] the moment you'd like to pay some lawyers, I am sure he can set you up with a case if you're still infringing on e-gold's name. You may not like the precedent we all get, but I'll sure as hell like the price-tag! JMR
