Um, apparently Glenn registered zeldaclassic.net for zcn or something... isn't that like infringement? I know agn is non-profit, but I mean.. is nothing sacred?

I hadn't heard about this, but let me be the first to lodge my disappointment and disapproval.

If this thread ever makes it to General Bitching, let me know and I'll return with more... colored... commentary.

and the problem with that is what exactly?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AG already owns ZC.com, and that hasn't been infringed upon by anyone :shrugs:

If AG wanted it they would have already taken it.

Well, all anyone has to do is do a whois on the domain. They are required to have an address and phone number and email there, so it's all public information anyway.

Exactly, it is not like you have to work hard at all to find it out. But oh well, if someone wants to harass him then I don't wanna be the one to supply the number. I'll take it down.

Internet is first come first serve...

It has been that way since the registering began...hopefuly it never changes...

So if you got microsoft.com before microsoft did, to bad for microsoft...

Its not even close to being "infringment".

If Glenn wanted to he could register theplustwoisafag.net and he couldnt get into shit for that either.....Its the way of the net....

I like it like this.

Umm... I seem to remember reading about verizon suing over domain infringement in a 2600. They were able to get sites like verizonsucks.com shut down.

http://www.2600.com/news/view/article/322

I want to know more about this "anti-cybersquatting act".

http://www.2600.com/news/view/article/298

Verizon backed down, but did send letters to 200 other domain holders with the word "verizon" in them.

http://eon.law.harvard.edu/property00/domain/legislation.html

The law on domain names.


Intent to divert to a site that could harm the trademark owner's goodwill - either for commercial gain or with intent to tarnish by creating likelihood of confusion as to source, sponsorship or affiliation, or endorsement of the site.

Sounds like ZCN to me. ;)

Lol, I'd love to see AG try suing over Zelda Classic...

I have to ask though... Why is this such a big deal?

Besides before you go throwing stones Glenn registered that for himself when he was talking over a plan with War Lord, and if you haven't noticed the address for ZCN is www.zcnetwork.com, and not www.zeldaclassic.net, but hey if ya think it'll help us out then maybe we should go ahead and put it to good use ;)

It's not all that big of a deal, and I don't expect, or want, AGN to try and sue glenn or anything, I'm just saying, in registering such a similar domain name, he is probably just going to confuse people who want the real ZC site. I myself wouldn't have made such a domain purely out of respect for AG. :shrug:

What is the problem? Who cares if Glenn registered it? DC pretty much said it. Whine all you want, it doesn't matter a pair of dingled fishsticks.

Another thing to consider is Glenn purchased the site while in talks with War Lord about a project completly aside from ZCN.

But I appreciate the common sense NerdWarrior... It's refreshing to say the least in a sea of zealots.

Why do I care? I own ZCN man... And this isn't what we want, and it isn't what AGN wants. I just want it to be clear why it was purchased, and why it won't be used.

Edit... Whoops I didn't seeyour comma between "DC" and "why do you care"
