Re: kidcad.info Domain
Alex,
That being said, if you want to go forward with the legal action, there
are chances that neither the domain name, nor the sum invested in this
legal action will be recoverable. Since you mentioned investing a high
amount of money, I want to make sure you understand there may be risks.
Yes, in retrospect I should have used PGP, but I dont think all of the
three use
PGP and have keys published.
Still, this does not seem to be a case of causal traffic sniffing, as
there is no inherent
value to the domain itself. I can not imagine ad revenue being more than
a hundred bucks
a year. At best! Nobody is linking to the domain and chances of typos
heading there
are close to zero. Even then, whoever did this would most likely have
had displayed ads
already. ICANN rules make it relatively simple to get this domain back
and see
who registered it.
But yes, there is a chance money wont be recovered, but I'd take that
chance.
That being said, I agree with you about tracking this down, but it might
not come out as we'd like it to. As Dick said, it might be easier and
cheaper to just think of a domain name. Also, if it's sensitive
information such as this one, you might consider using PGP tot encrypt
the emails. Anyone can intercept email traffic and read it nowadays.
Yes and no. You have to be at very specific points. I can not just sniff
traffic you generate
without some serious effort and money involved. I can not just walk into
an internet exchange
and hook up my equipment. I have been to many hosting facilities and the
normal
ones require at least a approved gov. id with pre-registration and
custom locks
on every rack. With the higher end ones having a few Racks of one
customer in the middle with around
5 meters space around them in all directions and then another metal cage
which can not be crossed.
With that amount of investment I'd guess there are better ways to
generate revenue than snagging
up a quasi "worthless" domain.
That is why I think this has been in bad faith to hurt kicad and why
this must be tracked down.
cheers

Since I am not familiar with all these customs, remind me to sit down
anytime we are in the same room together
Dick,
I won't impale any of he kicad developers; you are safe. :P
If you wish, I will impale anyone who parks his oversized car in front
of your house. (Ever since you said it, I use this analogy to get out of
helping people with M$ products, very often).
