Domain Name/Trademark Infringment
recently got an email from a fairly large corporation which provides Personal Webspace and pages to people asking me to cease and desist any usage of one of my domain name, similar to their trademark and give them ownership of it, . I had the domain redirected to a prank page that opens several pop-up windows and repeatedly sings "You are an Idiot... Hahahahahahaha", I have not capitalized off of this investment and never planned to. I simply did it for entertainment purposes. I was wondering if anyone on here had any similar experiences with anything like this. Here is the scenario. I am a 23 year old man barely making over 20,000 a year with a family to support. I received an email from a multi-million dollar corporation because they say that I am infringing on their rights and that they own something I purchased with my hard earned cash. I did not have any bad-intentions to hurt this company, only to provided a few laughs around the office. I would appreciate any feedback on this topic as I know it is currently in the media quite often. I own only four domain names and don't intend to "squat" on any of them. Please help me here. I am stuck on whether to just be a pushover and avoid any repurcussions or fight this because I think it is my right to.
