Fwd: Internet domain name & keyword

[Gilles Caulier-4]

Hi all,

I receive this mail today (look below for the contents)

I just registered digikam.org as domain name through Tom Albers compagny. But "digiKam.org" is not a legal name registered (copyrighted as KDE.org or OpenOffice.org for ex).

Do you think that we need to do it for the future ?

Dear Manager:

This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China and Asia.
On January 5th 2011, We received HAITONG  company's application that they are registering the name " digikam " as their Internet Keyword and " digikam .cn "、" digikam .com.cn " 、" digikam .asia "domain names etc.., It is China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so I am sending you this Email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!

IMO we should register digikam as digikam.org this would
prevent companies from using the trademark to drive internet traffic
to their website.

additionally hosting companies like godaddy.com etc provide bulk
domain registrations. IMHO we should also register domains like
digikam.{org,net,....} they are quite cheap and also help drive
digikam traffic to digikam's website.

To me this looks a bit like an attempt to make money. But even if there
was really someone registering digikam.cn etc I wouldn't care about it.

I don't know about this, but "kunal" could be right.

This could done, but I think digikam.org is enough. Just today I once
again saw someone accessing wikipedia by entering the word into a
Google search field... the ranking in search engines is much more
important than having many domains. The way "putty" is doing it,
having no proper domain at all, is just a little too extreme on the
other end, I'd say. Anyway it's too late for digikam.com, which already
is a link farm. :(

Vlado
