I believe Ford sued the owner of volvoguy.com and won.

#13I love how crappy this website is. :D . No, not minimalistic, or old school. Just crappy, with terrible usability. :D
It was from the days where people self hosted and used to put up a websites for fun

#14Sadly the owner of the domain passed away from Covid-19.

#15Nissan is also a river in southern Sweden running through the city of Halmstad.
I assume that name is older than the car company.

#16Uzi Nissan just died of COVID19. It will be interesting to see if his relatives stick to his principals, and hold onto the web site in memory of him, or make millions and sell to Nissan.
I hope they hold on.
I predict someone will eventually sell, though. Principled people are few and far between.

Trying to profit on the mark is what caused Ford to win a lawsuit over a domain auction site that was selling volvoguy.com, jaguarenthusiastsclub.com, vintagevolvos.com, and others. “bad faith intent to profit” cited in the ruling.

#18Their only purpose seems to be to occupy this domain to counter Nissan the car company. Their own actual business doesn't look that remarkable or even successful. It has eclipsed the purpose of existence almost.
Maybe time to declare this isn't worth the trouble in life, and there are better things to spend effort on? What are you winning? Sell, and make a buck while you can. There isn't much principled fight to be gained here, is there?

#19I’m amazed that Nissan Motors didn’t eventually get the domain. Normally with sufficient $$$, you can bleed a smaller opponent dry in court. My company had something similar happen to us. We were taken to the Federal Court of Australia by a Florida based educational hardware company in part over a domain. The Australian domain we had, was purchased prior to their registration of Australian trademarks and incorporatio…
What was the outcome? Is it possible to mention the educational hardware company?

Well, selling a website because you don't personally care very much about owning it doesn't necessarily mean someone is unprincipled. Most people don't have a principle of being more attached to their name than millions of dollars. I certainly don't!
