>Mr. Couch

domain names are not owned but you have contractual rights to them. you don't even need to go to a court to get a name turned over, but it's a trademark issue. that means because moot is a faggot name and isn't used in trade he will fail like a faggot. faggot failure faggoting faggotry canv.in.the.as

so it's a MOOT point. what a nigger jew.

He hasn't. I'm not making any judgements until I hear something from him, and not his "lawyer".

>>29208434
by both of them
his lawyer has acknowledged it

>>29208434
OP here, I emailed his lawyer for confirmation and his lawyer was kind enough to confirm the authenticity. So unless we want to go with the conspiracy of moot/a lawyer being in on this thing (doubtful), he really did authorize a C&D against moot.it.

Scary shit. I'm just not seeing the motive. From his posts and the few email responses I've gotten back from him, he's always seemed like a really level headed guy.

Either way, I don't run a fuckhuge website nor have I been given a shitload of money to make a website, so I don't think I can make a call either way. I'll just let it play out, and take it all for what it is: a lesson in life.

It's still really no basis for a C&D, unless he actually trademarked his handle.

>>29208687
As far as I can tell he hasn't. Schwimmer alleges under right to publicity law moot is covered, although I'm really not well versed in such law.

Moot's just mad they're using websockets
He doesn't want such a shitty technology associated with his leet internet handle, obviously

>>29208701
Well I also have no idea what I'm talking about, so that makes two of us

>>29208708
WebSockets are the shit, you've probably never even used them

Good for him. Pathetic people constantly trying to spin off 4chan's popularity need to be put in their place. If for anything, for the sake of less spam whey they try to coax people to go to their shit spin off site.

>>29208687
Well there doesn't need to be a trademark in US law at all actually.

If i make a can of soda look just like coke but I call it cancerous sugar water, if it looks enough like the coke can even without the name being close it's grounds for a lawsuit and a forced change of the can design.

That's just an example.
Also, it wasn't a C&D since the company hasn't started yet, it was just a letter "if you go forward we'll pursue legal action" kind of thing.


From what I know from a few classes of IP law, moot has a pretty good chance on this.

>>29208701
he has to prove a relationship to him and the other website. it's like stealing someone's name as a product endorsement. i really think this is a garbage case, but the other guys probably can't afford attorneys to respond to the C&D. moot is just being a jew, not unexpected from someone living under the jewish island of manhattan.

>>29208823
How is this him being a jew? He's not going to see any money from this and likely this is some 3rd rate terrible social site that pops up that won't be successful either.

It's more about consumer product confusion than any type of money making.

>>29208737
do you run imouto.my?

>>29208823
The other guys already had attorneys respond to the C&D.

Well they sure reimagined the fuck out of those forums man.

>>29208812
registered trademarks are much easier to argue in court because their is a presumption in your favor.

the design of the coke bottle is trade dress, it is protected so long as it's unique and recognizable by the public.

>C&D since the company hasn't started yet, it was just a letter "if you go forward we'll pursue legal action" kind of thing.
that is what a C&D is. you ask someone to cease and desist from actions you believe to be infringing on your rights. the company exists even if it sin't registered, it would be a sole proprietorship.

>>29208737
I was referencing the thread where moot shit on web sockets and JSON, only to implement JSON several months later
Although, in his defense (I was just being a trolling faggot originally) it'd probably be pretty big project to rewrite 4chan with sockets (the way the codebase is now)
>>29208869
http://moot.it
it's a service like disqus

>>29208909
No, that's not what a cease and desist. There's nothing to cease because nothing has started yet. Read the letters.

Trade dress or not, product confusion is all that matters and I think moot has a good chance of a case where people would be confused between moot and moot.it and the lawyer does too, obviously, since they're pursuing legal action.

>>29208909
he DID shit on JSON pretty hard before implementing it...

>moot
>not m<3<3tikins

>>29209004

>>29208989

maybe people on 4chan would be confused. in a jury you wouldn't get the same result. they are betting it won't go to jury and they can bury the other guy in legal stuff.

>There's nothing to cease because nothing has started yet
they're using the name moot.it so something has started.

>>29208812
Well no but it would make it easier to take down. I just don't see "moot" being a common enough thing to outweigh it being a dictionary word, that and it's just his handle not an operating business.

>>29208875
Nope I only have one public domain

>>29209130
oracle (software company) is a dictionary word
apple is a dictionary word
mcdonald is a classic last name
etc.

all has to do with context

>>29208942
WebSockets wouldn't be as difficult to implement, its a simple protocol and it would probably save some bandwidth, but its not necessary with the low overhead the JSON API brings.

>>29209084
>>29209126

That's not how businesses or the law works. The site hasn't started yet therefore there's nothing to cease. Honestly, read the letters.

I disagree about the jury thing. 4chan has millions of visitors, and most of them are /b/ idiots who would easily assume moot.it = some other shitty site moot made. That's a walk in the park case for any jury to agree.

>>29209130
Dictionary word doesn't mean anything though. If I say Apple you think of macs, it's the same idea. If there's enough name-to-product kind of attachment that's all that matters. Right now, almost everyone associated moot with 4chan. That's all he needs.

Christopher Poole created the word moot. No one ever used the word before him, and he owns all intellectual rights to this word.

>>29209255

2chan should sue moot for stealing their code

hollywood/riaa/porn industry should sue moot for facilitating a website hosts mostly copy-written work

>>29209207
Yeah but its just his handle, what basis does he even have to stop someone else using a similar one? It's not like I can go and sue someone because they start MyImouto.com

>>29209230
This.

Steve Jobs created the word apple. No one ever used the word before him, and he owns all intellectual rights to this word.

>>29209230
Damn I'm gonna start going by the nickname ".com"

>>29209267
The code was public domain.

>>29209274
Because people associate moot with 4chan and 4chan is huge. That's really the only big thing on moot's side on this and it's a big piece of his argument.

About the handle thing, if you were some really popular internet cute site called myimouto.com and people started another site, primarily about being cute called imoutomy.com, there would be some confusion. I think it's close enough for it.

The big thing though is just convincing the jury there's enough people on 4chan and that there could lead to some confusion.

It's shameful to beg for attention.

>>29209398
Megaupload was different since they paid users for content they know was pirated etc., if it hadn't been for the botched rushed warrant dotcom would be *fucked*.

US' mistake though.

why would moot want to shut down free speech if he's not making money?

After reading the thread I think he has a case
It is confusing, and they're not using 'moot.it' they're using 'moot'
It's whatever, I don't think he's jewing out
the service is probably better than disqus but that's not saying much

remember to thank that faggot for running this shithole

>>29209401
>uh, I guess?
A reasonable person would admit to that but also have a good reason for it.

Regardless, the replies you're making are just canned responses designed to sweep your problems under the rug. Do you ever ask yourself honestly why you have a username on 4chan? Think about it when you're using the bathroom or something. “Why do I do this beyond truly wanting unwarranted attention? If that's all I want, isn't that shameful?”
