This is very interesting. I have owned rackdaddy.com and rackdaddy.net since 2001. both are registered with a different registrar, not GoDaddy.Com. I did sign up early this year for a GoDaddy.Com affiliate program and both domains re-direct to their servers. Essentially making GoDaddy.Com my business partner on this venture.

Today I got a form email from GoDaddy.Com with the following in the body:

We hereby demand that you immediately: cease and desist your unauthorized use of these domains, cancel the forwarding of these domain names; and transfer the domain names to GoDaddy.com by November 16, 2007.

I am wondering what Trademark they would be referring to, as I doubt they could hardly have a Trademark on the word “Daddy”. If so every child should save up their allowance to pay for the right to say “Daddy”…
