I own the domain name Canadiantireseris.com It is a name Canadian Tire series and that is all it is but they want to try and threaten me with legal action. I will post a copy of the letter hear when I scan it. This looks bad for a company that is sponsoring  a series and they don't even have a link to there on site.

At lease Nascar wanted to talk not like this guy saying we are going to court I said he will pay a transfer fee and doesn't seem Like he wants to. It is simple contact me and talk don't threaten me.

I find it funny how people know they are going to sponsor something but they don't get a domain name. This is not used for profit and the series is called Nascar Canadian Tire Series and not Canadiantireseries. I'm a canadian and tire is a common word and so series. On a series of canadian tires is against the law. I guess being Canadian is too. SO in a sentance you cant have Canadian Tire in it is that what they are trying to say and this time i'm not mad or anything like it I just find it strange that a company like them as I can use the name tries to do this. I can see if the series was called canadian tire series but its not as the log clearly shows it is Nascar as the big name and the site they have for it is nascarcanadiantireseries.com & CA. Please explain people are going say we can't say good year as Good Year owns the right to it common we can let people take away every day words from us. I could se if I opened a big box store and started selling what they are selling

They didn't even send a registered letter to me to serve it they did it by the domain registar. I thought I need to sign for it???

The letter is posted at http://www.canadiantiresseries.com

The letter was addressed to my registrar not even me they forwarded a pdf file to me too day and I can't say if anything was edit and I called the guy and he told me they are comming after me for using it. I told him to pay a transfer fee and really didn't get an answer from him.

I don't even have to talk to him. This is a US domain name and if you read up on it it is not used for profit and it is commonly used words. I'm going to copy rightRedPurple as a company and then go after anyone that has redpurple in there name.

maybe canadian tire should focus on sueing wal mart instead. i read an ad in the toronto sun about ranger and tagliani with wal mart and proctor and gamble ans once again called the series, "NASCAr Canada Series". Any one can clearly realize that it was done to not give free advertisement to Canadian tire, by its Competitor WalMart. It is not the first time they have called it the Canada Series as well. At least Canadian Tire has been involved with canadian racing. WaMart is just comign in now.

I do have one question though... why did you register canadian tire series as a domain. were you intending to sell it to Canadian Tire or nascar to make money? That seems like a smart thign to do actually

i think Canadian Tire has a right to sue you though as I think it is infringement... Ive taken a bit of copy right law before. I would consult a legal person though to find out whether its worth doing anything
