How does CrowdStrike even have a business left to defend? Are companies still using their service?
Yes, of course there are. They may yet lose their customer base, but it takes more than a week or two for customers to jump ship en masse.

#105FWIW: CSC is a company that other companies hire to act on its behalf. It's very likely that the company you work for uses CSC as it's registered agent in the State of Delaware for administrative purposes (CSC doesn't really do anything other than exist on paper and file annual forms to satisfy legal and compliance requirements necessary for companies to exist in the US). I wasn't aware they file DMCA requests on beh…
Reminds me of that time when Mike Bloomberg's lawyers preemptively registered 400 .nyc domains for him, apparently without his knowledge, many of which are hilariously negative (MikeIsTooShort.nyc, MikeBloombergIsADweeb.nyc, GetALifeMike.nyc etc.): https://www.huffpost.com/entry/michael-bloomberg-nyc-domain-...
So, Mike, tell us, your lawyers, what slur cuts the deepest so that we may register it in public to protect you . . .

#106Cloudflare's lawyers should have told Crowd strike to kick rocks.
The DMCA's copyright provisions apply only to copyrighted content not trademarks.
Cloudflare could have told these clowns to go kick rocks without incurring any liability and could have threatened them with filing fake DMCA claims.

#107I wonder to what extent companies consider the reputational damage these kinds of enforcement actions cause. I recently came across this when googling for information on a small Biotech startup: https://udrp.adr.eu/decisions/detail?id=65fab3e46fc02956a010...

In my experience, businesses which are the most vigorous about pursuing frivolous IP claims and lawsuits are usually dishonest entities which themselves trample and steal the IP of others.
I have twice found myself defending my IP rights when a business in one case, a government ministry in another, attempted to dispute my right to use the work that they had themselves stolen, wholesale.

It brings more eyeballs and attention to them when they do this and makes uninformed or unopinionated people view them negatively.

Kinda wish the company got more than a slap on the wrist for such nonsense.
> While the Complainant may have 'sailed very close to the wind' in this case [...] the Complainant's conduct in this case does not appear to fall squarely into the realm of any of the above mentioned [Reverse Domain Name Highjacking] circumstances. Therefore, the Panel has decided not to make a finding of RDNH on this occasion. The Panel however cautions the Complainant to only invoke the [Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy] Policy in the future in circumstances under which the Complainant is able to identify the bases and adduce evidence in respect of all three UDRP Policy grounds.
So yeah, name-n-shame on their leadership such as *checks* CEO Pierre Chaumat and friends. [0]

I'm surprised their stock didn't fall further. Would think user trust is everything for this kind of company. Maybe it goes to show how numb a lot of traditional companies are to computer downtime.
