#22Ironically the site takes me back in time to the Attrition era, where sites like these were used as defacement to point out similar clownishness. Well done.

#23> I’m most definitely not trying to put CloudFlare in the middle on this… so I told CloudFlare that I will take the site off of CloudFlare; however, it is staying on the internet…
I mean that’s kind, but the whole point of DMCA safe harbor provisions is that they aren’t in the middle of this. They send along the notice, you file a counter notice, and that’s it for their involvement, yeah? If CrowdStrike wants to press the issue, they go after you, not CloudFlare.

#24Well, if you don't protect your trademark? It was how most people at M$ were referring to them last week. edit: OMG, I thought it would be obvious I'm kidding. I guess garbage HN comments win garbage HN prizes. Maybe there will be a supreme court ruling that George Kurtz has to wear a clown nose due to the Krusty precedent?
There's "protecting your trademark from genuine copyright infringement" [nods], and "trying to silence legal parody via weak trademark arguments" [shakes head].
> There's "protecting your trademark from genuine copyright infringement"
You mean "genuine trademark infringement".

#25CrowdStrike/CSC has owned at least clownstrike.com and clownstrike.net since 2012, but they weren't on the ball with those new TLDs it seems.
I get it, staying on the ball in fast-changing dynamic environments can be tough, good thing they don't run an EDR
Their TLD scraper created a file of nothing but zeroes, so the registration script crashed and went into a bootloop trying to read it.

I mean, there's now what, 2,000 TLDs and growing? I'm not sure it's going to be practical to own every likely parody domain at every TLD.

#27that's really pathetic. they should own up to the mistake
> they should own up to the mistake
They did! They issued $10 Uber Eats Gift Certificates that were revoked minutes later[1]. What, you didn't get to use yours in time?

#28Judging by the amount of upvotes this post has received, I believe CrowdStrike has made a major PR mistake.

#29I 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... Will probably be the first thing I remember when I hear their name.
Oh wow, they sued someone who used his last name as a domain name because they feel like their trademark should allow them to prohibit him from using his family name ... And obviously they registered their trademark after he started using his name.

#30They'll change their company name inside a year. Bet on it.
