Person Who Lost Domain To WWE Vows To Destroy The Company
It was reported last week by TheDomains.com that WWE won a legal dispute over control of WWE.org. The registrant of the domain is furious with the ruling and has let it be known.
The domain's registrant had claimed that WWE.org stood for "Western Women Entrepreneurs," which linked to third-party websites. WWE, however, in their court filing, cited trademark restrictions. The registrant had also offered to sell WWE the domain for $50,000. According to TheDomains.com, "such inquiry and correspondence, so shortly after registration, evinces bad faith." A judge subsequently ruled in favor of WWE gaining control of the domain.
This individual, who at the moment still has actual control of WWE.org, published a threatening message directed towards WWE vowing to destroy the organization within a year.
"congratulations on wwe.org and sorry about the $1700 damage. you also caused me a damage which you owe me still and you will pay back one way or another.
"my question is: are you paying back? if your answer is no and i guess it is no, then keep reading....
"last time, you said i was threatening and blackmailing you, no i was not. this time i am. and i am not afraid of your stupid multi billion dollar corporation, i have nothing to lose. i swear god i will destroy your wwe within a year or less. even if i will flight it for the rest of my life.
"well, i have already adopted my precausions and it is time to get you busy, i mean real busy. how many domains can be registered with a reserved amount of $10,000 ? calculate the time, effort and the huge amount of money that you will be spending on the upcoming thousands of UDRP cases. example: 10 cases will cost $13k. 1000 cases will cost you $1.3mil.
"UDRP or even court cases if you wish, i do NOT care. you will be fighting with your tradmark to claim the upcoming thousands of wwe related domains. you will be also fighting for your business welfare which will be destroyed by these domains' websites that will be identical to your wwe.com website.
"identical in many ways as your entire website content has been downloaded and saved. expect a total destruction of your goods and services offered on those sites. oh some won't be really identical because they will be promoting other stuff like porngraphy and some other disturbing stuff.
"oh let me give you a small disappointment. you won't be able to make a case for all domains at once. they won't be registered at once or with same registry, registrar or registrant or related in any way regarding email or contact details, they will be even registered from different countries (by the way i am not a Malaysian).
"not only that, one will only appear after another once and only after you are engaged in a case and that you have already made a $1300 loss. then the ball will keep rolling.
"i see you smiling having this message as evidence to sue me, hahaa no problem you can use it to sue me in any court you like. you know how to fight using a sneaky law, let us see how good you are in a street fight.
"i swear god, you must regret it. no need to reply, but you can forward it to your CEO.
"THE ABOVE IS WHAT I INTENDED TO DO, BUT NOW I AM NOT GOING TO DO IT. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I LOOK AT YOU AS AN IDIOT WHOM DOES NOT DESERVE MY CHALLENGE NOT EVEN MY ATTENTION. THAT IS THE REASON OF WHICH I LET GO.
"IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO SHOW THE WORLD AND SPECIFICALLY TO SHOW YOU HOW SMALL YOU ARE NOW .
"End."
