Hi Paul:
If Links SQL is trademarked, you may have inadvertently committed a federal crime under a new US law:
On November 29, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). This Act seeks to prevent unscrupulous individuals and business entities from registering domain name(s) that are identical, or substantially similar to a Trademark, and then selling, or offering to sell the domain name(s) to the lawful Trademark owner.
The act provides injunctive relief; a court order requiring the registration facility to be forfeited, cancelled, or transferred to the Trademark owner; attorneys’ fees and court costs; actual damages, or statutory damages, in the amount of $1000 to $100,000 per domain name; and disgorgement of any profits the cyber squatter made from use of the name.
