General remarks for these types of posts:

- People often mention 0 countries. Where do you operate? Where was your company founded? How about the other company? Etc. How do you know if that helpful comment doens't assume something totally different?

- Are you really going to feel confident about your legal situation after reading comments on a platform like Hacker News?




When someone didn't feel the need to mention which country they are talking about, that's usually because they're American.


Your jump to conclusions mat is too bouncy. Americans do not call lawyers solicitors.


This is a website hosted in America by an American investment company with a primarily American user base. Not hard to understand why. Either way the OP appears to be Australian, so please hold off judgement next time.


It's mentioned in their comment history that they're Australian.


I agree about the country point.However i am curious whether having the [Company Name] registered properly [Ltd, Co., s.r.o, s.r.l, etc] is an actual argument for having the "right" to a domain name.Common sense tells me it's not,in the same country or between countries, unless obviously the person who has the company name impersonates that company.

Why would one need to legally own that domain name as a company name to keep the domain? Makes no sense to me
