Answer by Nate D
.name and .me are generic top level domains. Their purpose is mainly for personal websites and email addresses.
Many people register their own name for various reasons (resumes, hobbies, etc).

Companies that might be interested include social networking players like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Zynga, or LinkedIn; community/deal sites such as LivingSocial; dating sites; social media sites; or even a new, disruptive startup!” More than 360 potential buyers have already submitted pre-bids.
Social.org is being sold at a no-reserve auction, meaning that it is guaranteed to sell. The public auction will be run by the well known domain name auction house Namejet.com. The auction starts on Tuesday, March 20 and ends around Noon Pacific Time on Friday the 23rd. Potential buyers may submit pre-bids of $ 69 or more at the following URL:

Check out the sites that you transfer to / from a form or a FAQ on this subject. Some sites make it difficult to transfer out, but they have to make this possible. If you can not find it on your site, by phone or email support. You can also click on the ICANN registrars that have agreed to transport needs.

Never heard of it, it’s usually a catch. Nothing is free in that department. I would be careful. If you’re following him, and you get a lot of junk, you can always put the address on your list of blocked addresses. There are many here who have a domain created by site, and now I can not find it. So watch out.

December 29th’s Move Your Domain Day Results In Over 27,000 Transfers to Namecheap and Over $50,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation
December 29th’s Move Your Domain Day Results In Over 27,000 Transfers to Namecheap and Over $ 50,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 30, 2011
Domain name registrar Namecheap is proud to announce that it has processed a total of 27,209 transfers on Move Your Domain Day, its December 29th initiative to raise awareness against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
Additionally, Namecheap announced that once 25,000 transfers had been processed that they would double the donation to $ 2 per transfer. This resulted in a tremendous final push among Internet users and Namecheap customers, and the 25,000 goal was easily reached by the end of the evening, resulting in a minimum $ 50,000 donation to EFF.
Namecheap’s CEO, Richard Kirkendall, said, “We are ecstatic at the response we have received from the Internet community. The Internet is speaking and we’re proud to facilitate that and at the same time help a wonderful organization such as EFF continue their fight against SOPA, PIPA, and other overbroad, ill-considered legislation.”
In Namecheap’s December 22nd official statement denouncing the proposed SOPA legislation, Kirkendall likened the passing of the bill to “detonating a nuclear bomb on the Internet when only a surgical strike is necessary.”
As a result, Namecheap released a coupon code (SOPASucks) to encourage those patronizing SOPA-supporting domain name registrars to transfer their domains to Namecheap. Since the release of the coupon code on December 22nd, over 70,000 domains have been transferred to Namecheap.
Notably, the largest gains for Namecheap occurred on Move Your Domain Day, a campaign Namecheap announced earlier this week after Internet users rallied around December 29th as the date for users to move to a new domain name registrar.
Namecheap will continue to honor the SOPAsucks coupon code for $ 6.99 .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, and .BIZ domain transfers through December 31st, though the coupon may be extended for an even longer period of time. Donations to the Electronic Frontier Foundation will continue through 12 PM EST on December 30th and Namecheap will continue to donate $ 2 per inbound transfer throughout this time.
“From the first day Namecheap opened for business, our customers have always come first.” said Kirkendall. “I would like to thank each and every one of our customers during this campaign for making their voices heard, voting with their dollars, and supporting EFF in their fight for our digital freedoms.”
Shari Steele, Executive Director of EFF, stated, “EFF is pleased to support Namecheap’s efforts to bring attention to the proposed SOPA legislation and its consequences for Internet users worldwide. With the funds donated from the MoveYourDomainDay effort, EFF will continue to defend your right to free expression in the digital world.”

Where do you draw the line as far as a “confusingly similar, trade mark infringing domain name”?
Question by T: Where do you draw the line as far as a “confusingly similar, trade mark infringing domain name”?
Ok I will use made up names for examples
Person #1 owns a federal trade mark called (“GamingKingdom”), and owns GamingKingdom.com which sells ebook strategy guides.
Person #2 goes and buys HaloKingdom.com and starts to sell Halo ebook strategy guides.
Is there anything confusingly similar about those two enough to be trademark infringement?

Answer by rickinnocal
My opinion would be no.
That said, when it comes to rulings on purely subjective matters like these, the opinion of anyone but the hearing officer himself is worthless.
