For when Your Name
means Squat!
A free service sponsored by
Domain Embarking
Has someone squatted
your domain name?
Domain name buying is the new land-rush made of electronic
real-estate. Cyber squatting can be both fair and unfair in our opinion.
(see more info below) In most cases, we believe, buying and selling
domain names is simply free enterprise at its best. Buying and selling
is open to everybody and no license is required. So, for the most part,
it's First-Come First-Serve.
However, we feel there is one obvious exception to this rule that
most morally evolved beings would recognize....
Your name was made famous by no pre-meditated act of your own!
If so, (in most cases) we strongly believe you, or your
immediate family, should have the right to own your name. For this
reason, the Domain Rescue Service was launched.

Additional
info: Cybersquatting, according to
the United States federal law known as the Anti-Cybersquatting
Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a
domain name with bad-faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a
trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers
to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark
contained within the name at an inflated price.
The term is derived from "squatting", which is the act of
occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building that the
squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use.
Cybersquatting however, is a bit different in that the domain names
that are being "squatted" are (sometimes but not always) being paid
for through the registration process by the Cybersquatters.
Cybersquatters usually ask for prices far greater than that at which
they purchased it. Some cybersquatters put up derogatory remarks
about the person or company the domain is meant to represent in an
effort to encourage the subject to buy the domain from them. Others
post paid links via Google and other paid advertising networks to
the very (legitimate) site that the user likely wanted, thus
monetizing their squatting. As with many controversial issues, some
argue that the dividing line of cybersquatting is difficult to draw,
or that the practice is consistent with a capitalistic and free
market ethos.
Domain name disputes involving alleged
bad-faith registration are typically resolved using the
Uniform Domain Name Resolution Policy
(UDRP) process developed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN). Critics claim that the UDRP process
favors large corporations and that their decisions often go beyond
the rules and intent of the dispute resolution policy.

N/A
RESCUED
DOMAINS WAITING TO BE CLAIMED:
Many types of names can be rescued. Most notable are People and
Trademarks. Another type of domain name rescue might come in the
form of a major event. (Organic in nature like a flood or
pre-meditated like 9/11.) The rightful owner of such a domain name
would likely be a non-profit or governmental organization that it
could be awarded to. That means: *AT NO CHARGE. (Some conditions may
apply.)

our "Rescued" list below? or Did you rescue a name and want to add
