FAIL - Selling Counterfeit Merchandise

[kwerner]

I was doing some SEO research this morning and happened to run across this site:

[URL="http://gbcinternetenforcement.net/12-7678"]gbcinternetenforcement.net/12-7678[/URL]

Basically an e-commerce store was selling fake merchandise (ugg boots). They must have been making a lot of sales because it caught the eye of the real manufacturer, which filed lawsuit, seized the 100+ domain names they were using, and are suing the defendants for millions.

Be sure to check out the Complaint:

[URL="http://gbcinternetenforcement.net/files/caseNo-12-cv-7678/Complaint.PDF"]gbcinternetenforcement.net/files/caseNo-12-cv-7678/Complaint.PDF[/URL]

As well as the Temporary Restraining Order, where it lists the 100+ domain names that were seized:

Moral of the story: Don't sell counterfeit merchandise.
