    Sounds like you fucked up, tbh, you should’ve bought the domain even if not intending to use it, just for brand safety

      That’s why Research in Motion (the developer of the Blackberry) had to buy the domain “rim.jobs” when the .jobs tld was launched.

      I couldn’t agree more.

      I spent almost a year getting my ducks in a row to sue and reclaim the domain

      The cost in time and resources for all of that, vs just registering the domain in the first place. 🙄

        We burned a lot of midnight oil on that company. It was a early data analytics type venture that was fun, but had a lot of long nights. We had an ethical spin from the ground up which, in hindsight, is not really the direction the Internet wanted to take.

        It was a great bunch of folks though. We keep in touch now and then.
