Opieanthony.org appears to be an offspring of Jon's http://opantpartypics.com considering the banner.

Perhaps he hijacked the site and is using the add rev from the framed banner.

Edit- As for the forum.com one....tough beans. They got to it first and its not like we own the opieanthony.........com name(s).

ok... i could be wrong... but i think that that domain used to belong to Rottyiam (from SU)... to the best of my delusional memory, Rotty had it set up so that there was links to his SU feed (along with his daily replay feeds) as well as access to the messageboard... but, once again... i could be wrong...

I have found that using multiple domains for the same site isn't very productive, but it is nice to be able to sit on the names that could be popular or valuable.

ok... i just checked with one of my (reliable) SU sources...and YES, OA.org used to (and probably still does) belong to RottyIam from SU. He had it set up so you could get access to his live feed, anyone of his 5 daily replay feed (which ran a replay of each day's show in a 24hour loop)and his FTP. The FTP & feeds have been shut down for a while, but i imagine he still owns the domain.

Yeah I understand that buying up every name is a luxury not a neccesity. Just that the site links to the board, I just wanted to give a heads up if this was known by matt or not and is it allright for our site to be forwarded to oa.org? That is why I put it up and before you get your panties in a bunch I only mentioned stingray owning oaforum.com as a joke who gives a shit it was just amusing.

That's called cyber-squatting. It is a frowned upon practice in the industry. Ypou wouldn't wanto to ruin your wonderful reputation, would you?

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Yes it's cyber squatting unless you snatch it up knowing that you can sell it back to a company that has an interest in it, then it becomes Domain Piracy.

We have a bunch of domains that we've bought and used in the past, but have nothing built on now.

Wouldn't piracy be taking ownership of something that you didn't pay for, as in intellectual property? If you pay for the name, that would make you a 'legal' owner of it, no? I don't know, that's why I am asking.

I never really agreed with the piracy term myself, but it usually occurs when someone registers a domain that is a trademark or company name with the intent to sell it back to them at a high price. You are attempting to profit off of their name or brand, that is why it's stealing.

Would intellectual property be considered a person's name, such as in the example of the name slash?

No, Faceman. See SLASH is a real person.

However, Faceman is a character name that someone created when they wrote the Pilot movie for The A-Team. So thus then inbyfacto, that would be considered pirating, 'cause you used a name that was created from the intellect of the individual who wrote the story without paying for it. Or maybe it is just Plaguerism, what do I know?

Well there are 2 questions that come to mind though, one, if the person took the name faceman, without prior memory of there being a character named faceman in the A-team, and wasn't really made aware of it until a former mod(read:IP) brought it up to him as an idea for a sig picm would it be considered a crime, in the eyes of the law? and 2, is slash's real name, slash? and not say...roy or brad, or something equally as inane as such.




I guess one person can make a difference but most of the time they probably shouldn't.

Ok, that made me laugh.

And Faceman, it's a very gray area. In the end it usually comes down to whether or not the owner is profiting of the domain, but it can be a person's name or that of a character. A perfect example is Springsteen just sued the person who registered brucespringsteen.com, he lost the case however because the person was making no money on the site.

Saul Hudson had his name changed to SLASH, because SLASH was a nickname of his, not intellectual property.

In legal defenses, Ignorance is not an excuse for a crime. Now if the nickname was Donald Duck, there could be a legal issue... since it is a gray area.

You're all living proof of why Abortions should be mandatory in some cases. We should Enslave the retards and use them to build our Utopia. After that, we'll just put a bullet in their mis-shapen skulls. Or throw them in ovens, whichever is cheaper.
