I'm sure that will be a nice, convenient source of income for your some day, assuming that the Crunchpad doesn't completely fold, which I doubt it will.


OTH, if the Crunchpad TM is still owned by TC or FG(or both), that domain will revert to them pretty soon.. (Think Dropbox and countless other cases).

Not saying which way is right, but that is the reality.


a) they registered CRUNCHPAD, not CrunchPad

b) they registered it on the 17th, when I already had the domain for more than a year.

c) the product is already dead

But yeah I know they can probably still nab it, if they try, but I figure if they do, I can still win from riding their bad publicity wave. It'll have everything: a clumsy company forgetting to register a domain for their product + company name(lollerskates) and that same company using big mean lawyers to steal the domain away from their fans(boo lawyers, boo big business).

And who knows, maybe the reason I registered the domain was to sell my own line of CrunchPad Yoga Mats.


a) That probably won't make any difference. b) Now that's better. c) Let's hope not.

Either way you'll benefit. Publicity is sure to be yours especially if you play it up like TechCrunch is playing it up right now.
