Insists It's Not Negotiating
Body:
Officials from what has become NewBodog.com
insist they are not budging and refuse to negotiate or pay one
dime to the man they say is "using the US legal system to
steal" their Bodog.com
domain name.
A Washington State judge has order the registrar for Bodog.com
to have the site removed due to an obscure "patent infringement"
that could cause problems for other companies, specifically those
in the music industry.
On Aug 1, 2007 a judge for the Superior Court of Kings County
in Seattle, Washington handed down a foreign judgement in the
amount of
$ 48,937,456.00 in the case of 1ST TECHNOLOGY LLC VS BODOG ENT
GROUP S.A.
Bodog representatives insist that Mel Molnick is the man behind
the legal action. Molnick has admitted to going after a number
of other online gambling enterprises including Dr. Stanley Ho's
Internet casino and Sportingbet.
Throughout the day Wednesday, Bodog officials informed ad partners
and other contacts of their new email addresses with the NewBodog.com
domain.
As if the news couldn't get any worse, both the BodogFight.com
and BodogBeat.com websites were also taken down on Wednesday.
BodogFight can be accessed at www.newbodogfight.com. It is not
known why the BodogFight mixed martial arts website would have
been part of the suit which seems to apply only to the casino
technology, though the patent seems to focus heavily on the use
of "multi media entertainment", a reference used on
the Bodog Fight website.
