try to prove it! i think he wants to do a rtcw2 community and if eventually someone is willing to buy that community for an acceptable prize he MIGHT sell it ;)
there is a law! if the name of the brand is well known and everybody connects the product with the company, the company has the right to set up a homepage with the name of the product/company....
e.g. if somebody would own www.sony.com he has to give the adress to the sony company.....
ok, that explains it. But still it's a bit weird. Like, who defines which brand is well known enough and don't they need to pay anything for the hp? Probably at least the expenses how much the site cost to the owner?
well the only possible customer for this doman has the rights to own it
anyways, so it might not be THAT smart to sell it, considering possible lawyer costs :d!
Something like that happened with enemy-territory.com (not quite sure), where they were asked to give their domain name to Quake Wars. Not quite sure what happened in the end, but I believe they were allowed to keep their domain. Only difference is, they registered the domain long before Quake Wars was even announced.
e.g. if somebody would own www.sony.com he has to give the adress to the sony company.....
hope its understandable :)
which means it is illegal to try to make profit out a domain including this name
anyways, so it might not be THAT smart to sell it, considering possible lawyer costs :d!
