.XXX Cyber Squatters already selling domains on Ebay
 

I was on Ebay this evening as saw .XXX domains selling for up to $5,000,000.

I thought they said there would be no cybersquatting.......

doesn't look like it to me.:2 cents:

Fiascos are such great investments!

rapidshare.xxx $5K
XXXPW.COM PREMIUM DOMAIN NAME FOR AN XXX PASSWORDS WEBSITE $100
Burbank.xxx $5K
cnbc.xxx $5K
THEPIRATEBAY.XX​X | Marketing empire. Super rare and hard to come by .xxx domain $24.5
verizonwireless​.xxx ***Premium Domain Name*** $5K
hotfile.xxx ***Premium Domain Name***
washingtonpost.​xxx ***Premium Domain Name***

Seems like business as normal...no safeguards

Just checked ebay , Cock.xxx $6,965 etc...didnt take long for the speculators to jump on the bandwagon like every other new domain issue.

domain speculators lost millions of dollars last week with these kinds of registrations.
I can't figure out which one of these sucks the worst.

here come the lawsuits, if some of those are real:2 cents:

I hope they have good lawyers

Why did you post that domain?

This is the best time to sell; on the wave of hype. People don't have time to think, they have to act before the window of opportunity is gone. At least, that is how they feel.

Prices are only going down from here :2 cents:

fuck .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To show how wrong the domain is. Promoted as a stolen password site on .xxx
Just some examples I found strange when I spend 5 minutes on Ebay looking at the domains.

The lawyers are licking their chops. Unleash the hounds!

.

But it's a .com

lol verizonwireless.xxx :1orglaugh

Now I understand your question better missed that it were a .com

i only had enough for one .xxx

so i went with cokegoogle.xxx

Something the eBay idiots might actually register. :1orglaugh

Here come the lawsuits.

I already have people contacting me. It won't work.

WOW... never saw THIS coming!

Big difference between "selling" and "listed for sale at".

Ebay will list at whatever cloud cuckoo land valuation you want to put on it (up to their limit of course)

Ebay does not care what you sell, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Real-Human-S...ht_1088wt_1165

DotXXX I registered an xxx domain, i got a phone call from ICM, i enter the pin on website, but the domain is not in my ICM account. What happened?

Funny how ICM Registry is happy to infringe on the rights of others yet now is heralding it's face saving actions cancelling registrations of offending domains registered by others.

ICM Registry has reserved for money grabbing premium sales names which infringe on the intellectual property rights of others with impunity.

Wanted to include the text and some additional names of note, specific to adult - which were:

boykakke.xxx
gaypass.xxx
gayroom.xxx


Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. December 13, 2011. ICM Registry, the official registry of the new .xxx top-level domain TLD, announced that as part of its investigation of reported cybersquatting by a handful of individuals, it has suspended registrations that appear to involve unmistakable, blatant cybersquatting in violation of the Registry?s policies and the Registry-Registrant Agreement. The suspended registrations include patterns of abusive registrations for names like businessweek.xxx, cnbc.xxx, geocities.xxx, nextag.xxx, snapfish.xxx, verizonwireless.xxx, washingtonpost.xxx, and gayroom.xxx, amongst others.

In announcing this action, ICM?s CEO, Stuart Lawley, reiterated the Registry?s commitment to enforce its policies. ?ICM Registry has raised the bar on responsible registry operations and we intend to maintain the highest standards. We will not tolerate nefarious conduct and will exercise our right to take appropriate action when we detect widespread repeat patterns of cyber-squatting activity. Would-be cyber-squatters are on notice - neither ICM Registry nor the .xxx community will be complicit in the theft or abuse of intellectual property. ICM takes a stand to facilitate user choice and parental control, protect the privacy, security, and consumer rights of consenting adults, fight child abuse images, and protect intellectual property,? said Lawley.

While cyber-squatters try to take advantage of legitimate rights owners in every TLD (from .com to .edu), ICM?s CEO, Stuart Lawley noted that the rights protections built into its agreement with registrants gives the Registry a number of innovative tools to combat malicious conduct and protect the .xxx TLD space. In addition to its authentication policy, which makes it harder for cyber-squatters to hide, the Registry also makes a variety of innovative tools available to prevent and address abusive registrations, including a Rapid Evaluation Service (?RES?) to take immediate action on clear abuse of well-known, distinctive registered trademarks or service marks of significant commercial value, or of personal or professional names of individuals, and its Charter Eligibility Dispute Resolution Process (?CEDRP?) to resolve challenges to registered names in the .XXX TLD based on alleged use inconsistent with the qualifications for registration. ICM Registry recently conducted a ground-breaking Sunrise process that enabled rights-holders to permanently remove their brands from availability for a cost-based one time fee.

Working with its sponsoring organization, the International Foundation for Online Responsibility (?IFFOR?), ICM has implemented a comprehensive and rigorous set of policies designed to protect third party rights and combat malicious conduct. The IFFOR Policy Council, which includes representatives from the adult industry as well as experts in the areas of free expression, privacy, and child advocacy ratified the Registry?s baseline policies, including its policy prohibiting the registration of ?strings that infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party, including common law trademark rights; strings that are obvious variants of well-known trademarks not belonging to the registrant; first and last names of an individual other than the individual or his/her agent or names that suggest the presence of child abuse images.? All registrants in the .xxx domain must agree to abide by those policies when they register .xxx names.

It should show up shortly. There is some delay just from the sheer volume of domains we are processing.

Interesting to see Stephen Conroy's (Australian Communications Minister) off the record comments at the National Press Club yesterday, if those comments see their way into policy then .xxx is dead in the water in Australia.

Some of the .xxx domains are getting some nice bids

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=.xxx+doma in

Highest bid I see on the first page is around $100 ( less than reg fee? ) dont count the $5k offers from the same guy who has a feedback of 0 and has just registered lol and other bullshit fake bidders.

Looking at some of those domain names gives me the impression that .xxx seems to be very popular with people missing the common sense gene :)

I see the sponsored community is gobbling up domains to develop adult sites.

Not.

Lawley says he expected to make $200 million a year which means you should be prepared for an onslaught of registrations.

Just admit that you fucked up this whole rollout. You cant bullshit a bullshitter. Admit your incompetence.

It seems to be the target audience. Have you seen the commercials? :upsidedow

burbank.xxx is showing a 5k bid.
that has to be a shill bid.

I laughed when seeing that as well!

.xxx reminds me for some reason of the Laserdisc or the Betamax players

So what happens to the disabled domains? They resell them at the same price? :)

because in arabic, they read in other way.

Even namecheap is marketing .xxx's as "protect your brand". thats the best reason for buying one?

i dont think protecting your brand should cost you money via paying for a domain you may not want or ever use, just so you dont have to arbitrate to get it back. Either way, if you play with ICM or not, it will cost you to protect your brand.

SCUMBAGS.

Selling actually requires a buyer on the other side of the transaction.
