First this is terrible 2+2 didn't spend $8 a domain to protect every possible scenario. When I owned Rakerebatereview.com I bought about 50 domains people could use to screw me with.

Also if he makes any money off of the sites 2+2 can sue him for several times his actual profit and win as this is at the very least cybersquatting and at the worst blatant copyright infringement.

The bottom site states "I'd sell this domain for $5,000,000 imo". This makes this an obvious cybersquat whether he is kidding or not. 2+2 needs to go to ICANN immediately and file a complaint and spend a few hundred dollars on domains to protect themselves from headaches like this.

I went through this hassle with some retards that completely stole my idea and site scraped RRR word for word. It's a headache but ultimately you will win. I just filed the complaint and they backed down and transfered me the domain after realizing it would cost them money and they could not win.

[Pokeraddict]

Does he still own Rakeaid?

[nation]

im not sure we didnt talk after that last part i quoted.

[jman220]

Wait, is any of that true? Did Degen really try to buy 2+2 publishing? Also, Mat, you should be talking to your lawyers regarding the sites he's setting up. Everything Poker Addict said is 100 percent correct.


Edit: Also, his IM conversation reads like someone who's high on cocaine.

Yes, I've seen him post in the Cardrunners forum, they've got a membership-rakeback deal with Rakeaid/Degen.

Also, in addition to copyright issues, this you also have a very strong trademark dilution/infringement case.
