Internet For The People
Dear Internet User,
In effort to prevent deep pocket corporations from taking control of the Internet
by hijacking domain names from their rightful owners, particularly small businesses.
I hope you agree, "Reverse Domain Name Hijacking" is on the increase and you
can help stop it. We are taking it upon ourselves to bring a classic case
of “Reverse Domain Name Hijacking” to the public and ask you to take a stand.
Uzi Nissan, an Israeli-American, is the founder and president of Nissan Computer
Corp., incorporated in Raleigh, NC in 1991. Nissan registered the domain names
NISSAN.COM in 1994 to help expand his computer business and NISSAN.NET in1996
to provide Internet Services (ISP).
Recently, Nissan Motor Co Ltd. and Nissan North America, Inc. (the automaker),
filed a lawsuit against Nissan Computer Corp. for owning NISSAN.COM and NISSAN.NET.
They alleged trademark infringement and dilution in an attempt to bankrupt
the Nissan Computer Company, and are now dragging them through federal court
in their own back yard (Los Angeles).
Nissan’s last name has been in his family for more then seven generations and
can be traced back to biblical days (identifying the seventh month in the Jewish
calendar), long before Nissan Motors was in existence.
Nissan Computer Corp. has created a website dedicated to this matter at www.ncchelp.org.
Public awareness is the most effective way to fight back against these giant
corporations. Our goal is to reach out and inform you, the public, of this
ridiculous and bogus lawsuit.TAKE A STAND
Visit www.ncchelp.org, read the complete story, the people's opinions and take
a stand by:
1. Join the BOYCOTT movement already in progress against these hijackers.
See what other concerned Internet users think.
2. Let your voice be heard in protest of this ridiculous and bogus
lawsuit.
by sending an email to these hijackers from:
www.ncchelp.org/email
3. Email this important message to your friends,
family and colleagues, and ask them to do the same.
4. Let your Congressmen and Senators know about this problem and your
opinion.
YOU CAN HELP
Remember, it can happen to you or to someone you know. No domain name will
be safe if these hijackers get their way. Every deep pocket entity will be
able to use the court system to bankrupt legitimate small businesses and hijack
their domain names.
Thanking you in advance for helping and taking a stand.
