Simvaition.de

Whist surfing I came across the following site. www.simviation.de Whist it is very basic site (more a search site), it still uses the SimV name. Is that legal, just bad form/manners or is it OK. I have no idea about internet law and and just wondered because if you opened a burger stand and called it "Mac Donalds", you would be coverding law suits up to your eyeballs.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

My understanding is these are place holders till someone buys the domain. I might be wrong though.

Just people using the name for Google ads I suspect .... there are organisations out there who register any site name & all they contain is a google ad - so when people go there they see 'content' - a google ad - must make money when you have say 1000 site names ....



It's not something that would bother me - what DID bother me is when our name 'simaviation.com' was stolen because I registered it with a cheap outfit who I think sold it on before it had expired. Turned out they were registered in the carribean islands & there was zilch I could do about it. Never again ...

Some people have trouble with our name (like you Matt ..  :D ) & 'simaviation' was an easier method in the early days ..

simviation.fr/de/ -- doesn't bother me in fact it's sweet of them to bother ...  :P

-- thanks :)

I was just idly curious about the whole thing. Thanks for the answers.
