A post from yesterday regarding the listing of almost 500 “facebook” domains on TDNAM caused some serious stir.
It seems that not everyone agrees about a listing venue’s responsibility regarding the trading of trademark-infringing domains.
Such venues include GoDaddy’s TDNAM, eBay, Flippa.com and others.
Sedo and Afternic are known to pro-actively enforce the removal of trademark infringing domains, while Flippa expects trademark holders to ask for the domains to be removed; a daunting task if the violations are in the hundreds!
There is no information on TDNAM’s policies at this time. DNForum forbids the sale of obvious trademark violations.
We decided to take a domainers’ poll and we’ll make it easy on the options.
Please vote now! 😀

Awesome poll. May be worth trying to define “obvious” and “famous” in the context that you’re using it because this is where it gets grey …
Andrew – Is Flippa a mark you’d consider famous? Because you’ve already threatened to sue someone on that context.
