I was testing something (vizzedboard.com) when I typed "VizzedBORED.com" instead, and let me tell you, it is a real website.

You better check it out http://vizzedbored.com/ Notice how it also "has" retro games (Don't worry, just going to the web has no viruses) .


JigSaw :

Davideo7 : You better look up closing this website, I think you can actually claim copyrights for Typosuatting.

Yeah I may have to take some action some time in the future to have domains with 'vizzed' in the title removed. I'm really surprised someone would do that though, just another reason why it's important to buy as many similar domain names as possible to avoid stuff like that.

Oh wow that is really strange and rather weird. Why would someone make a copy of Vizzed.com!? I know this site is awesome but come on lets keep it original and let this be the only one! It's just like the Vizzed rules, if a thread is the same or a duplicate of another it gets closed, same situation here, Vizzedbored is a copy of Vizzed.com and needs to be closed. Davideo7 needs to take action against this.

Due to the nature of this sites content I'm not sure complaining about copyrights would be a good thing to do. It's like Nintendo coming here and wanting all their games removed. Don't go doing stuff to others as you would not want them to do to you.

JigSaw : There's a pretty big difference though, they're claiming to BE Vizzed. I'm not claiming to be Nintendo or Sega or Atari or any of the companies which I have games from.

Davideo7 : I know but the general concept here is copyright infringement so they can relate.

smd.com is claiming to be me that does not mean I should go and get their name removed I think its pretty selfish if anything.

JigSaw : smd.com is a bad example because their full name is 'schoolmusicdealer' and that's not your full name so they're not pretending to be you. Plus that domain name was created 1994 and I doubt your bussiness/domain has been around that long.

JigSaw : Unless they have a HUGE notice like "WE ARE NOT VIZZED BOARD" then they are invading copyrights.

You can get sued for this copy right and stuff.

If I create a search engine called G0ogle, then I am invading copyrights of Google since the name is unique.

We should kindly ask the person to change the name to something not to similar, maybe he had the idea and came up with the name Vizzed too (LOW CHANCE, like 0.000001) but didn't know about this Vizzed ?

Didowe : It might depend on what they do with the domain name, looks like it doesn't have any content yet but if their content revolves around impersonating vizzed than I think it's definitely something I can have taken down.

Well if you want to take legal action then you would probably need to have vizzed legalized first. Cause right now neither of you own the name vizzed, you might own the domain but you definitely do not own the rights to the name until you register it with the gov.

Also you can't really ask the person to change the name, the name is registered already. Once its registered that is it, only way to change it is purchase a new domain. The person who owns this vizzedbored obviously did it for attention and vizzeds fame I doubt it was just coincidence. Many people do this to steal traffic and what not from the original.

Davideo7 : They ARE trying to impersonating Vizzed, but in a noobish way.

They have links to retro games, however, they don't have Retro games on the site.

I dunno if I am wrong but I think they earn a profit if someone clicks the link, I might be wrong, but it looks like it (or they earn a profit by people putting links up).
