No Way, if you capitulate to their "threat" then you're just falling for bully tactics. In Canada and the U.S up until VERY recently he-who-gets-the-web-site-FIRST-OWNS-IT. This is your case, and you can win. Because you registered the site 2 years ago BEFORE the new laws came into effect, which gave Domain-Name-Servers the right to hold/return trademarks and copyrights to companies that hold then YOU were operating under PREVIOUS law. This means that your lawyer can successfully argue that "Possestion is 9/10s of the Law" and that YOU own the rights to your domain name. If Coke wants it OFF of you, they have to do what EVERY OTHER company (prior to the new legislation) had to do, which was they had to offer to purchase it from you. Stick to your guns, you have a winning case AND the onus is on Coke to offer you a settlement for the name YOU own, if they want to use it in Switzerland. There are cases here in your favour where major companies payed big bucks to purchase already-registered Domain-names, that they -wanted-. We have a case in Montreal, where "MontrealOnline" was registered by a joe-blow und purchased for $100,000 by a local newspaper. Bottom line is this, YOU own the site now, Coke doesn't want bad publicity, and they DEFINITELY don't want to be known as "picking on the little guy" so you stick to your guns, get a lawyer, and Coke will settle with you. Virtually guaranteed. Truth is, if COKE had a case, they wouldn't be trying to convince you to give it up and threatening law suits, they'd just do it. Turth is, they KNOW the area is sticky and publicity could turn ugly for them, so imo, move to negotiate, and don't settle for less than $100 000 dollars U.S for the name. Bottom line is, YOU own it, if they want it, they have to purchase it from you, not try to bully or scare you into giving it to them. If you don't want to give it up PERIOD (are not willing to settle) then you're talking Internet law precedent setting here, in which case you should be able to find a lawyer that will take the case for FREE, because it's gonna be a huge publicity case. -- Michael Xavier Maelstrom Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Earth, Sometimes.
