Re: [ga] Kamusi.com Domain

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric and all,

  I love speculation, as long as others are not speculating with MY
money or time.

  Agreed Kamusi.com or Kamusi.org has little standing, as it were.
But the original registrant wants exclusive rights to something they
never established such for in the first place.  None of this however
explains fully why a GoDaddy privacy service was used on the
re-registration of Kamusi.com and lack of responding to inquiries
regarding same what so ever.  Perhaps as a matter of commerce,
the registrants of Kamusi.org need to sweeten the pot with something
more than a "Tote Bag" to get a response from the new registrants
of Kamusi.com.  It may be that the new registrants of Kamusi.com
already have enough "Tote Bags" but may be interested in some other
gratuity?  >:)  Perhaps sending a Welsh to Swahili translation gal
dressed
in traditional african dancers garb with a singing/chanting message for
the new Kamusi.com registrant?  What a great idea for Welsh to Africa
cultural exchange and promotion of future trade relations, eh?!  >:)

  I just love inovation don't you Eric?!  >:)

  is not trademarkable or copywrited as it stands. Clearly someone has
  purchased the rights to use the name based on a speculation of later
  profit or perhaps plans for use in the future, or even to prevent use
  by another. My point is that Karl seems to say this is an immoral
  thing or a bad thing. I do not think most on this list would
  agree. **(although it would appear that the cultural connotations here
  really are not of a noun basis but of a happening type concept. Kamusi
  is more a concept of a gathering of meanings as though words were
  living creatures not truly susceptable to capture. But this much more
  meaningful useage does not meet our international standards and should
  be ignored here in order to be understood. One could argue that
  certain words are in fact owned by a culture. But if you go there you
  must finish the argument of whether in fact some words are so
  interelated to action that they need be patented)

       Hi Karl
       I have read the DBP online policies and, as Tim has
       confirmed, unsolicited emails to the Whois listed address
       (which incorporates the domain name) are forwarded to the
       "registrant" but they do not have to reply.
       Best
       Debbie

            Not to rain on anyone's parade, but has anyone
            read their policies to see if they are allowed to
            bring cash offers to their Privacy clients as a
            part of the deal. Many, like someone who would
            bother to register kamusi.com may very well want
            to hide behind such a veil and wait for high
            profit opportunities brought them through these
            arrangements. Don't get me wrong, I believe this
            to be sad and a form of bottom fishing like the
            rest of you, but read the policy these people
            signed on to before making too many blind
            judgements about company ethics. One of the few
            things worse than doing wrong is to wrongly accuse
            someone of doing wrong and paint them unfairly.
            Personally, I don't even like the concept of
            private domains for the reasons above, and others,
            but it is not illegal, yet...
