Even with no legal basis, you can still sue people into poverty if you have enough cash yourself to keep the case running for long enough. Just look at for example Karl Jobst, an Australian youtuber, who got sued by Billy Mitchell and how much that cost him, even when the lawsuit was complete bogus. On a related note look up SLAPP suits, they work the same way, scare victims into doing what you want with huge bogus lawsuits that costs then a TON of money just to defend themself (which many can't afford).

I think MineCraft Consulting should have been able to keep their domain. They owned it way before Minecraft was a game, and they were using it for a little while before Microsoft was even involved in Minecraft. MineCraft Consulting should have gotten original ownership priority or something because they owned it for such a long period of time before the game was even made Edit: grammar mistakes, screw you comments >:(

@kendallcagna7448 Жыл бұрын

It's understandable that you may feel that MineCraft Consulting should have been able to keep their domain if they had owned it before the game Minecraft was created. In domain name disputes, there are often different opinions on what is fair and just. One of the principles of domain name registration is the "first-come, first-served" rule, which means that the person or organization that registers a domain name first generally has the right to use it, as long as it doesn't infringe on any trademarks or copyrights. However, situations like this can be complex, and the best course of action depends on the specific circumstances. For instance, if MineCraft Consulting was using the domain in good faith and not causing any confusion with the game Minecraft, they could have a strong case to keep their domain. In practice, many domain disputes are resolved through negotiation, as it can be more efficient and cost-effective than pursuing legal action. If Microsoft and MineCraft Consulting reached an agreement for the domain transfer, it is possible that both parties felt the outcome was fair. In any case, it's important to remember that the interests of businesses and individuals should be balanced, and domain name disputes should be resolved in a way that respects the rights of all parties involved.

@Xarenth Жыл бұрын

My opinion is that the consulting firm should have been allowed to keep the domain. Yes, it was neglected and deliberately used poorly for many years, they did end up using it 'properly' well before the Microsoft buyout. That's not even considering it was acquired before Minecraft was a thing at all. 0% chance it was intentionally domain-squatted, but maybe opportunistically at worst - which I don't really think is the case anyways. I like to imagine if they weren't based out of AU, it would be potentially damaging for the business. I don't think there's a '.country' for America, and having to sacrifice the domain would suck. Really, though, for the average person them losing the domain is probably for the best. Minecraft is so well known even outside of gaming communities, that if they just had a website called minecraftconsulting or something it wouldn't seem out of place, and it would prevent the most incorrect website visits. I'd bet 99% of people who accidentally visited the consulting website had no use for it, so there was no business opportunity by having extra traffic. (compared to something like, let's say, a hobby store that stocks things for arts, crafts, and yardwork?) Nice video, Sal.

@tankinator451 Жыл бұрын

I can definitely see a scenario where MineCraft consulting realized the value held in their domain name and simply held out selling that domain until Microsoft was willing to pay them some big money for it. A figure like, say $10m, is next to nothing to a massive corporation like Microsoft, but $10m could mean bonuses and raises for all employees, a brand new office building and a state of the art website for a smaller consulting company like MineCraft. They likely weren't forced to give the domain up, they just were waiting for Microsoft to offer them something worth their while.

im pretty sure you cant sue a company for having the same name as long as its in different industries. Its why Mitsubishi the car company and Mitsubishi Pencil co can both exist

microsoft better have paid fairly for the domain name. minecraft consulting had both the company name and the website first, doesnt matter if microsoft and the game are bigger and better known wouldnt be surprised if they bullied them out of it tho

@iminumst7827 Жыл бұрын

Sorta, but I think something to consider is that most of the time that minecraft consulting owned the domain they didn't even use it for their company's site, and at one point even just used it to host game reviews unrelated to the company. In this sense, it is a little selfish to hold onto the domain.

@Peterscraps Жыл бұрын

7:31 they were fully aware of the domains value after 2011, but never wanted to sell because they didn't know how to monetize it. Cue a back-channel drama where lawyers try to bully a company,, until they give up and offer absurd money in return for the domain and an non-disclosure agreement, [allegedly]. I wonder why they never replied to your e-mail 🤔

My guess is that MarkMonitor just used a bot to claim the domain when it expired before the Aussies had a chance to. That would kinda suck for MineCraft Consulting, as they wouldn't get any payout, but it is almost certainly the route they took as there is little to no legal precedent for domain squatting.

@vlOd_yt Жыл бұрын

And it wasn't even domain squatting, they owned the domain before Minecraft was even a thing and before Microsoft even owned the game!

I dont think its that confusing or complicated. The info you provided already says it all. It probably seems like the company just got the site early on, but used their AU site for trust and reliability for its domestic customer base. They probalby forgot or didn't care to much about the main siste, but held on to it for future plans. I bet those game reviews started happening because of an uptick of traffic due to minecrafts popularity. Somebody there probably found out the site was getting an influx of traffic due to minecrafts popularity blow up. People likely contacted them to complain or rant about their site not being minecraft game related. They probably thought it was a great business venture to try out, and write game reviews if the traffic is mainly peopl ewho are coming for the minecraft game. Obviously they didn't konw anything aobut the gaming industry and didn't put to much effort. Them reverting to using the site is pretty easy to see that they saw what was happening. That they were going to get sued for the domain name if they didn't actually use it. So they started making it more official for their company. I think it was just fortunate for them that they did this a bit before minecraft being bought out by microsoft. I doubt microsoft had to battle hard and likely just paid off the company for the domain name. It is interseting to see that you coverd this. Would have been a piece of minecraft history that would have been forgotton. Now that info is immortallized here.
