I sent him or her a message...kinda funny one.

Ralph, if our civil courts where not so dicked up, I would litigate.

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Hey Ralph, I have never bought spores off you but I'm a big fan of your attitude and general enthusiasm, please take it as a compliment that I see you as the Steve Irwin of vendors. :thumbup: I don't really know much about this sort of thing but I figured I'd do a bit of background research to see if I could help out.

Turns out you do have recourse.

:discorex:

Please look at this link from ICANN...

Quote:

[ICANN said]
a. Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that

    (i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and

    (ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and

    (iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

In the administrative proceeding, the complainant must prove that each of these three elements are present.

b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:

    (i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or

    (ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or

    (iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or

    (iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.




Therefore your response to ICANN should look something like this...

I believe this domain has been setup in bad faith in order to redirect my legitimate customers to a direct competitor's site, as we are both mushroom spore vendors. In terms of why this meets the requirements of an Applicable Dispute.

A i) This domain (www.ralphsters.com) is confusingly similar to my legitimate trademark/service mark of (www.ralpherstersspores.com).

ii)there is no apparent reason (other than for stealing my business) for them to have this domain name.

iii)I believe that this website has specifically been setup in bad faith for the sole purpose of redirecting my legitimate business to their website, (which is in direct competition with mine).

B.
Evidence that this website has been created in bad faith, this situation perfectly describes article iv)
Quote:

by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.




:bigyesnod:

Ralph I would try to find out if he is registering any other addresses, and I would suggest going directly to ICANN (and not first asking him to take it away) and pairing it with a cease and desist letter. Show him that you aren't here to fuck around.

SporeStore.com has also stolen mushrooms pictures off my web site and posted them on their web site. They took my Thailand Lamai Beach strain photos and called them Hairy Buffalos. Shrooms.com did the exact same thing first, then Spore Store did it later. Both of these companies are bunch of thieves!
