Morning Folks!!
We are now in countdown mode for TRAFFIC and you will hear less and less from me as we are now in show production mode. The agenda will be complete next Friday after I announce the addition of 12 more speakers to our roster and put the finishing touches to our seminar programs. As always, we wait as long as we can to see what exactly will be the most beneficial topics to you.
With yet another Reverse Domain Hijacking decision announced against Wall-Street.com it gives us another candidate for our new award. There may no criminal penalty YET, but they have ME as a penalty until the laws catch up. I will remind the public EARLY and OFTEN about these PREDATORS!
It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY to continue to write about these SCUM long after they TRIED to HIJACK a Domain Name. The penalty needs to be SEVERE. VERY SEVERE! It has to cost them in good will and customers for it to be effective.
So Wall-Street.com is now on the radar screen for ALL the world to see just like SaveMe.com.br and all the others!
We are working on the award right now. We are thinking of a Gold Plated Pile of Shit that we display prominently. We will bring SHAME to these companies until the LAW institutes penalties for trying to STEAL things legally but unethically.

Wall-Street.com Domain Sucks !!!
Way to go, Rick!!! I love your wall of shame.
It’s about time we defend ourselves since the rules of the game are not very good at protecting us.
Burn in Hell Wall-Street.com , you seemingly are nothing more then a low-level domain hijackers !!!
I hope you lose a lot of business and traffic over this stunt you tried.
Again, burn in Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW……your domain sucks, Wall-Street !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best agenda that it could exist. Its stupid to know that this could be stoped if an attachment regarding generic and geo domains were made by wipo or someone else in this area.
And that doesnt mean that the stupidity would stop. But at least, the process would be more clear and defensable. Right now its a case were the domain owner is almost forced to open a lawsuit against the complainant, even before he answers the udrp, for attempt of stealing property.
This is one of the reasons i would like to see Traffic becoming mainstream with Domain Sherpa cams covering the public talk. Private biz should remain just that.
Even so, i think you are forgeting about chillibeans.com which is the perfect example of the system we all have.
Great agenda!
Show us the money...
Its almost like you need to have reverse hijacking reporting center and then allow all domainers to put their heads together to help he defendant (assuming they think its a legit hijack attempt).
