Right... go right ahead Hotshot, and use away. You've given new meaning to the term "THICK".
Mr. Russell,
What is your problem? If I choose to disagree with your point of view, so be it! I was simply pointing out that Porsche would need to spend some serious cash to control every variation of the name that they so justly own. You want to see "THICK"? Go look in the mirror. Did you even consider looking up any of the names that I posted? Are you pissed because you misinterpreted my original post and you don't have the guts to say "sorry, I thought you were a spammer and I was wrong"? Huh?
BTW, I cringed (literally) at being called a spammer. That was a first.
Have a fantastic day Sir!
Not to defend, but I think he confused one of your replies with the Thick One himself, Herc-u-Thick.
Merely an observation, though I could be wrong. Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not perfect. ;~P
We've established that Porsche does persue those using it's name without consent. Right or wrong, they do. Yes, anyone can create domains that violate trademarks. Those that wish to sell said domains are in the business to make money. These are people like Herc. They care not about any subsequent ramifications. That's your problem. Perhaps they should be a bit more responsible or accountable??? I would think so.
Okay, now I'm really done.
where? here?
We would like to assure our customers that Porsche AG is not trying to interfere with, or restrict, their freedom of speech. The opposite is true. We greatly appreciate..

*I'm sorry.* In the heat of the discussion, I didn't even bother to check the headers. I (evidently wrongly) assumed that cha_cha_cha was a sock puppet for ]-[erc. It's hard to imagine anyone that is involved with any of the Porsche communities that isn't aware of Porsche AG's position where it involves any misuse of their name. There is no maybe about it. They can, and do pursue any violation that they're aware of regardless of the costs involved. No, I didn't bother to look up any of the names that you posted. There's no need to. If anyone tries to misuse them, Porsche will stop them. Simple as that. You can disagree with that till the cows come home, but it won't change anything. I plan to "Have a fantastic day ". You do the same.TDS> Not to defend, but I think he confused one of your replies with TDS> the Thick One himself, Herc-u-Thick.

Draw the contracts up saying that *You* will pay all legal fees and penalties arising from my fair use of any of the names that you're selling, sign them and forward them to my attorneys, and I will buy several of them. Or...just leave. Fair nuff?
What the idiot fails to understand is the word "sanctioned." PCA and many of the Porsche clubs listed are officially sanctioned by Porsche AG. They have permission to use the name in their sites. NO ONE else does. Anyone using the name without the permission of Porsche AG WILL receive letters from attys. for Porsche "requesting" that they cease and desist. Very serious, enthusiast oriented sites have fought and lost the right to use the name. Why would Porsche AG allow the buyer of "porscheturbo.com" to use the name??
THEY WON'T !!!

|-|erc babbled on further:
interfere with, or restrict,
Listen moron, those are all *sanctioned* sites! Porsche *allows* them to exist. You're pretty forking stupid, aren't you? Drum up some
*non*sanctioned sites to prove your point.Whatever. No wonder no one likes you. I think I'll now make a concerted effort to point the Porsche lawyers in your direction, asshole.
SALES CONTRACT
I, the seller, Andrew Cooper declare that I will pay all penalties incurred from Porsche AG from use of the domain porscheturbo.com, to the buyer.
In the event Porsche AG requests transfer of the name I will refund the purchase price of $1,000. In accepting this agreement the buyer agrees not to use the name commercially or in a way that exploits Porsche AG, either of which will nullify any further liability of the seller.

If you click on the link it shows E-Loans.com. Since the person is not taking in to account the advice, we should just notify Porsche about the site and let them and the site owner sort it out.

I understand, it happens sometimes;-)
It's hard to imagine anyone that is involved
True and the individuals who try to exploit from the name (in my experience) have never even sat in one.
I guess it boils down to who uses the name for exploitation and who is simply trying to abuse it. I'm sure that Porsche would take a look at what the site is doing/offering and make a common sense decision about weather to pursue legal action.
I plan to "Have a fantastic day ". You do the
