As some of you have may have found out recently, I had to let my
official website URL domain ownership lapse, as I had to spend my money
on other things.  Doteasy, my old domain host, sought it fit to resell
it to someone who decided to use it to host a porn site.  NICE!!!

I'm
not fighting back.  I instead purchased http://www.helensventitsky.net
.  I've had it for two months and am now getting around to doing
something with it.  Which means going around to my plethora of social
networking and music sites I'm signed up on and changing my
information.  *sigh*

There's not much there now.  I followed the
lead of fellow Friendfeeder Susan Beebe and took advantage of Google's
partnership with Godaddy for 10 bucks a year for the domain name.   I'd
rather have more control in terms of HTML editing, but I like the quick
and easy aspect of this setup.  Here goes nuttin'...

Hmm... very early for me, and only my first mocha, but here is what I see: Doteasy Technology Inc. Suite 210 - 3602 Gilmore Way, Burnaby, B.C., V5G 4W9 Canada Your old domain registar is located in BC CA, which means, as a dot com registar, they must comply with both CA law and ICANN policy. Domain squatting is a big deal in both and usually requires some trademark infringement. However, names, especially professional names (especially professional names that have published work, eg, a bloody CD) can be an issue. Also a big issue is defamation. BC separates libel and (I've lost the page and the bookmark in my brain... apologies) ... Anywho, see http://www. cippic. ca/domain-name-disputes/ for a good starting point. Ontario site, but very helpful, nonetheless. In CA, domain registars can be held responsible for this shit just as easily as the squatter. So, you might see action if you just send your old friends a cease and desist.
