Re:Some similarities to other cases (Score 1)

I just had my own case. Two weeks ago a trademark infringement letter was sent to me by IDG, Inc, parent company of the Dummies books, The Industry Standard, PCWorld, MacWorld, LinuxWorld, Infoworld, Sunworld, etc, etc. They demanded I turn over my domain name to them immediately or go to court. I sent a rebuttal letter and put up a website proving I was neither infringing or diluting their trademark. Two days later they accepted my suggestion I link to them and agreed to drop the case. No litigation, no lawyers involved, no courts. I have all the information on my site and hope the word gets passed around how IDG corporate legal dept agreed to not pursue this reverse domain name hijacking. I'm hoping it could serve as precedent for others. I don't wish this experience on anyone. This took over my life and infuriated me, but the ending is good and I'm hoping it can help others. http://www.eInfoworld.com
