Foul, I just realized something:

adagary4jj's lost super modules


In his auction desctiptions he used the Acaeum domain name without your expressed written and/or verbal  consent,  maybe you should file a countersuit against him.

The lack of legal ground has already been pointed out, but let's sum up:

1.  'dayecon' is not a work, it's a word.  Copyright law does not apply at all.  'dayecon' might be considered a trade name under trademark law.  

2.  The trademark 'dayecon' is not registered.  This significantly limits its protection globally, but not in the USA.  However, it doesn't qualify as a trademark, as there are no good/services related to the term 'dayecon'.  No trade=no trade mark.

3.  Even if it did qualify, fair use covers the nominative use of the mark anywhere, anytime.  The "TM" or (R) following a valid trademark is optional best practice, incidentally.  It's not required.

You're lucky I don't send you a bill for the lesson; next time try typing "US trademark law" into google instead of "dayecon".

Also, it might actually help your case if you were actually a registered business under the Dayecon Inc., LLC Since his is located in Washington State checking here:

Type in the name Dayecon and see what you get.  Strangely, its the exact same result as the US Trademark office....NOTHING.

Heh.  As you suggested in the second half of your post, it works the other way around.  "Frigidaire" risks losing it's trademarkable status by becoming a generic term for all refrigerators.  Your mom is quite correct in her usage and protected by law.

You can't block a seller, actually, but I wish you could.  There's one guy who keeps flooding ebay with counterfeit Grenadier miniatures, and my life would be so much easier if if I could keep his crap out of search results.

Back to topic: Yeah, everybody's right: You can't use a copyright claim to outlaw people writing about you.  If you could, there would be no newspapers left in America -- simple as that.

If dayecon (okay, I'm congratulating myself for not delving into the obvious bastardization of his name that could be done here) wants to engage in legal posturing, he should expect the same from others.

Like, for example, Stephen, a class-action lawsuit against you by the people you fucked out of ebay auction items.

There's no case here; the so-called lawsuit is a complete work of fiction. I think we all know that. The "company" doesn't exist, which is pretty much the beginning and the end of any legal conversation ... and, even if it did, mentioning it by name is protected by concepts that include both free speech and fair use.

As pointed out already a couple of times, this just really seems like an Internet Tough-Guy who doesn't want to be in the Shady Dealers thread any longer. Perhaps he is gearing up to list a huge number of D&D items or something? Perhaps it just really steams him to be mentioned in the thread? Hell, who knows what people like this think ...

The true irony, of course, is that DAYECON, DAYECON, DAYECON could not have picked a worse strategy for trying to clear his name and reputation. Now he's got every single member of these forums not only blocking his bids and not bidding on his items ever again, but he's also got us all on high alert, ready to warn potential bidders and do other fun stuff like jack up his existing bids and/or bring some vigilante accounts down on his ass.

What a genius.

This was the person who came on here acting like they didn't know who dayecon was, but was defending him.  Conviently, this individual also happened to log on to the site just two days ago.  Also coincidentally, they are listed from Greenbelt, Maryland which happens to be Dayecon's hometown according to his MySpace page.

BC is right...this id needs to be nuked, and the entire town blocked from having anyone ever join.  As it is said, I like my coincidences not to coincide so much.....

Oh, man, I crack myself up. No, really, I slay me.

Did he already pull his auctions?  I can't find any under his seller ID.
