I followed the links but didn't open any of the docs.
I take it these people got these names or .coms shut down?
If so just goes to show the one with all the dough wins.
Wonder why they couldn't shut down paypalsux.com?
Maybe because it's now a ecommerce site?

Owners of domain names that are used for protest, parody, and criticism sites enjoy some protection if the site is being used for noncommercial purposes.
If the domain name owner's site is being used to criticize, protest or parody the trademarked entity or its owner's products and/or services, the panel will probably find that the domain name owner has a legitimate interest in the domain name. This will probably be true, even if the domain name is, for all practical purposes, the same exact thing as the trademarked word.

PayPal's legal department tried to force paypalsucks.com to change their domain name by saying the site was being used for commercial purposes but they weren't successful.

TTBay sounds like a porno site.
Soon, when you click on "me" page links, they'll go to MyWorld, too.
Quote:My World page is an updated profile page that enables you to showcase your personality and interests.
I care about sales. I don't care about dating site profiling.

The developers aren't sellers and do care about dating site profiling...and matchups...and blogs...and wikis. Hope this helps.
Well they said somewhere the ME page will remain,
but I'll take bets that this is the actual goal.
To SNUFF out the ME page so we can't advertise our off feeBay sites anymore.
That will probably be it for me I think.
I have had only eBay sale (that actually paid)
since July second... so I think they already flipped my switch anyway. :
Umm, hellfriggin-O, I didn't realize until just now that MyWorld is a complete ripoff (i.e. it looks they copied and pasted) of Amazon's profile pages for reviewers .
