Update on killassange.com, domainsbyproxy #IFWL

1 minute read

Continuing my efforts to alert registrars and hosting providers on IMHO defamatory domain names, which started here.

The domain killassange.com has no DNS entries at the moment, meaning you cannot reach it. Which is a good thing and thanks to HPCISP.com for reacting so timely and solving this matter.

However, the domain itself still exists and can become active at any time. Hence my request to domainsbyproxy.com, the company the registered the domain on behalf of their customer through godaddy, as revealed by the whois data.

domainsbyproxy.com offers a webform for complaints, which I used to send this request:

As documented in my blog post at

WRT killjulianassange.com, killassange.com and godaddy

It is my honest opinion that the domain kulljulianassage,com is unacceptable. Your Domain Name Proxy Agreement at https://www.domainsbyproxy.com/policy/ShowDoc.aspx?pageid=domain_nameproxy states in 4 – iv – G:

G. If it comes to DBP’s attention that You are using DBP’s services for purposes of engaging in, participating in, sponsoring or hiding Your involvement in, illegal or morally objectionable activities, including but not limited to, activities which are designed, intended to or otherwise:

[…]

  1. Defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass third parties;

[…]

In my humble opinion the domain name killassange.com is without doubt in this definition. Therefore I urge you take the appropriate action and remove this domain name from the registry, inform the owner of this domain of your actions and update me via e-mail in the next 48 hours

This complaint has been documented at my blog at https://jan.wildeboer.net/2011/01/update-on-killassange-com-domainsbyproxy-ifwl/ and I would like to publish your reply at ethe same place. Should you object to this, please state so in your reply.
