We haven't been to the movies in 7 years! How's that for a boycott?

Thanks a bunch. I will have to check that out.
It's great that we conservatives now have our own grassroots computer networks and blogsites that can propel these sorts of stories into the news. In the past, this kind of stuff would go totally ignored by almost everyone.

That doesn't mean that BH is not in violation of their contract. In order to accept that, you'd have to believe that "1234 Blah St., NoWhere WI" is a valid address.
As noted earlier, the website could have been registered with another firm in an "owner by proxy" arrangement that would have concealed their identities (unless a judge ordered the proxy to turn over the information).
Instead, the boycott-hollywood.us owners chose to violate the registration agreement by entering a bogus address. Their assertion that they were being threatened is not a legally valid excuse to breach the contract. William Morris complained to dotster.com, and dotster had no choice but to find that boycott-hollywood.us was in violation of the contract. Dotster probably sent the 15-day notice to the owners by USPS mail, but it was undeliverable due to the phony registration info.
The point is - complaining to dotster.com will do no good. boycott-hollywood.us simply needs to find a legitimate way to register their domain name.

The last movie that I went to see was "True Lies". And, I walked out in the middle of it. Think I got you beat . . .

You missed a negative. I did not say "That doesn't mean that BH is in violation of their contract," I said "That *doesn't* mean that BH is *not* in violation of their contract."
In other words, BH might be in violation of their contract.
And, so what? William Morris Agency got them on a technicality. Who the hell appointed WMA as the WHOIS Polizei?
Why would WMA complain about someone's WHOIS? Because they're interested in keeping Internet records straight?
Or, did they complain because they thought that it would be a cheap and easy way to muscle this site off the web?
If BH has broken libel or harrassment laws, let WMA sue or get a court order. They will definitely be able to get accurate WHOIS information that way.
Did they do that? So, how is this different from a SLAPP suit then?
To: lonewacko_dot_com
P.S. For various reasons, I think BH sucks. However, if WMA's actions don't get condemned now, they and others will probably try tricks like this in the future. I don't look so askance at (c) claims concerning domain names, but WMA's complaint seems so baseless on its face.
To: lonewacko_dot_com
And, what I wrote above doesn't mean BH shouldn't be smarter. I don't think they're that smart, and that's one of the reasons why I don't like them. The next time around, they should use a proxy or a Mailboxes Etc. address with a voice mail number.
To: lonewacko_dot_com
You missed a negative. You are correct. That doesn't mean I'm not sorry about that.
Who the hell appointed WMA as the WHOIS Polizei?
Anyone can report that a registration contains false info. My dog could have filed a complaint, and the registrar would be required to act as dotster did in this care.
So, how is this different from a SLAPP suit then?
In the context that WMA filed the complain, it was sort of like a SLAPP. Except it wasn't a lawsuit, it was just a slam dunk complaint.

If registrars are going to remove web sites with outdated or missing contact information, there will be quite a few missing. Here's just one leftist site for example:
http://www.facesforpeace.org/ and their whois info:

You've got the right idea, but a bad example because you did not use the specified whois server to get the full information for facesforpeace.org. In this case, you must use
whois at register.com -
That domain appears to have accurate information:
whois facesforpeace.org - Organization:

Domain servers in listed order:
DNS5.REGISTER.COM 216.21.234.73
DNS6.REGISTER.COM 216.21.226.73
The process of looking up whois information is more complicated since the registration process was decentralized. For .COM, .NET and .ORG top level domains, use the Verisign Global Registry Services for the preliminary lookup. For .US, start at www.whois.us. For .ORG, start at Public Interest Registry whois. In all of those cases, you must then go to the registrars whois server to get the full information.
Keep searching - and use the correct whois servers - and you will certainly find some leftist sites with bogus registration info.

Thanks very much for the tip - I guess I haven't been keeping up on the domain registration hijinks. It used to be so simple (if not necessarily better).

A chill wind is blowing out of Hollywood, to the rest of the US.
