And now, some more fun in cyberspace

[dancinghorse]

I have been laboring under the delusion that I had access to the domain, judithtarr.com. Communications did not happen and it appears that the domain has been taken by a cybersquatter posing as a fan. As far as I can determine, I am legally entitled to that domain because it's a "brand" i.e. I make my living off the byline. There are laws in the US against cybersquatting, which this appears to be.

I've sent a polite note through the contact form on the site, and we can all hope he responds that oh yes, I can have my domain, so sorry. It expires, btw, on June 5th.

Just in case this is not a cooperative fan but a squatter, what does one do to get possession of one's domain?

You may have to have a lawyer versed in cyber crimes and the laws therein, take a look at it and see wehat you can do.

Otherwise, not sure. You may be able to contact the ISP the site is hosted on and get it taken down that way.
