That said, I appreciate this is an important issue and that you want to understand our stance so I’ll do my best to give you a guide.

; C4 W& R8 p* s- h; M" H' Y( f" h4 fIn most circumstances we will not act on court orders regarding domain ownership for gTLDs as that is what the UDRP process was developed for and we prefer this as a mechanism for resolving disputes. We also, generally speaking, do not act on court orders from courts which do not have jurisdiction over our legal entity, which is based in the US, unless of course there was obvious and damaging criminal use of a domain using our services (e.g. Child Pornography, financial fraud, etc.) . Again, it is hard to say in all circumstances, but it is very unlikely that we would place any restrictions on a domain based on a court order from an outside jurisdiction. Registrants are actually protected from restriction of movement of a domain by ICANN rules and we are in compliance with all of the requirements of the ICANN accreditation agreement.

I hope this helps and I apologize that I can’t be more direct.

7 O  R8 V3 W$ f# T: z% yAt NameSilo, we review these types of situations on a case by case basis. It’s difficult to comment confidently without knowing all the surrounding details, but as a US based registrar, we would request the Indian Court to work with their US counterpart and bring this civil court case there. In these types of situations, we typically work with the relevant stakeholders to understand the situation and act accordingly.

We aim to protect our customers where and when possible. However, we do also enforce legitimate court orders. Also, we would allow the registrant time to appeal their case and honor their rights to due process, as we do with UDRP cases.

This one would be a pretty easy call. The registrar’s job is to protect the registrant within the bounds of the law. There was no court order. A similar principle was applied here:

There are times when the pressure and pain from a determined complainant can be so vigorous that it would be easier to relent. However, that is not what registrars are hired to do. We are hired to stand.

The only way to evaluate these issues is on a case-by-case basis, with all the facts and information presented for a thorough review by our legal department. With that said, Fabulous.com requires official court orders from a US court to take action when it comes to locking domains.

One such scenario would arise if our customer’s domains were to be hijacked; thereby, necessitating us to act swiftly by imposing a lock to secure the names. We are proud to offer this level of security and involvement for our customers.

There is a reason why Fabulous has a very loyal and dedicated customer base, consisting of a lot of original/old school domain investors. We put our customers first and will continue to do so as any emergency circumstance may arise.

We follow the UDRP process and generally if someone makes a claim against a domain on a gTLD we will refer them to that process. We do not act on court orders from courts outside of our jurisdiction, which is the Bahamas. If we get allegations of a domain theft, it is usually accompanied by a recent transfer, and we will lock the domain/s so that we can launch our own investigations. But this has nothing to do with the courts and is more to do with just making sure that we are protecting domain owner’s assets and livelihoods.

; L3 w5 t& J1 wIt is a really tricky deal for Registrars to be honest and we don’t like being in this situation as it is lose-lose. Depending on the legitimacy of the complainant, we occasionally do need to seek legal representation and defend ourselves in court because we are caught up in a claim and want to protect our customers. This is very expensive for us and we don’t get any extra money for the domain, but we spend 10s of thousands on this a year, so as to not allow a precedent. It can also block us from getting further investment in our company as financial investors will do due diligence and discover open court proceedings through this process, then raise as a risk. It sucks for us.

In the Brent Oxley situation I would guess that we would have locked the domain for a couple of weeks whilst we investigated the issue, when we found that the claimant had no legitimacy and that there was little risk to us from a legal point of view, we would have removed the locks and told the complainant to take a hike. That said, they probably wouldn’t have tried it on a company based in the Bahamas because they assume they won’t have much luck.

Porkbun:

' A1 [6 W) z1 B0 ~! bEach case is unique but based on what I’ve read regarding this particular instance, unless I’m completely missing something, we would require an actual court order from a US court with competent jurisdiction. We would never get involved in what appears to be a business or contractual dispute between two people.
