Who Dares to Steal Websites?

I am pissed off.
Who has the right to take websites from it's owner?
WITHOUT EVEN NOTIFYING THE OWNER!?

check this out:
I've had a website for 2+ years. It had a good design with my songs on it.
Not 5 minutes ago I went to update it. But to my disgust... it became just another hole. Have a look for yourself!
www.sullivan.brad.com...
Please tell me who has right to do that?

Big Bummer. :bnghd:

Unfortunatly it looks like you let your domain registration expire.

There are many business that watch the expiration date on domains, and buy them the minute they expire. Now you will have to purchase it back from them, buy a new one, use the one that your ISP provides, or use a Free DNS service.

The moral is.....dont let your domain registration expire.

They could have at least notified me!

Yeah.. i'll find somewhere else now... not much choice.

Thanks Makeitso

well if you know who took it or where it is now (DNS it), you could sue them for copyright. But obviously you would need to have copyrighted the material first.

No match for domain "SULLIVAN.BRAD.COM". (according to whois)

Did it get let go?

I don't get it - you let a domain name expire. It's not currently owned by anyone, so just renew it. According to the IA, it was just a re-direct to a Geocities site ( www.geocities.com... ), anyway, so there was no content stolen whatsoever from you.
