Prompted by my upcoming relocation to a town not serviced by my
current cable provider, who also hosts my letterboxing website, I
decided to register a domain and move my site to a neutral host. But
what domain? Letterboxing.com, .org, and .info are all taken, and
too generic in my opinion for what my site is (basically an
electronic version of my journal). CPAScott.com, believe it or not,
is also taken, by some Accounting Professor also named Scott.
InVinoVeritas as well as just VinoVertias, my sig stamp's slogan,
were also taken.
I pondered and pondered -- what could I call my website's new domain
that fit in with the hobby and me and wasn't yet taken? I could come
up with nothing that seemed to work until I stumbled upon, yes,
Hunting Tupperware -- there it was, free and clear for my taking.
And so I took it.
Introducing HuntingTupperware.com -- the new letterboxing-related
site hosted by yours truly. Coming soon to a web browser near you!
Of course, the site won't offer much more than my current site hosted
at comcast as it's primary purpose is to simply be an electronic
journal of my letterboxing adventures and host to boxes I've placed.
But the name is kind of neat anyway, don't you think?
And who knows, if I can ever score a copy of Dreamweaver for less
than the price of a car payment, maybe I could once-and-for-all
abandon FrontPage and spruce up the site a bit. (Hint, nudge, for
anyone with ideas on that).
For the time being though, I'll simply move the old, ugly and
cumbersome FrontPage site from home.comcast.net to
HuntingTupperware.com. If you've bookmarked my old site (not sure
why you would, but just in case), be sure to update the links!

Yep, it is neat,but you might want to stay pretty low on the radar
screens. Big corporations sometimes get their knickers in a twist when
their trade names are used.

We'll just tell them that the more letterboxes that get placed, the
more Tupperware they'll sell ... and leave off the fact that
Rubbermaid is actually more likely to benefit. But, that's just
details, isn't it? After all, the hobby's tagline isn't "Hunting
Rubbermaid" is it.
Consider it brand awareness.

Oh, lots of places. Both Charter and Cox Cable have operations in
Massachusetts as well as Comcast, although I think Comast is the
largest. Even Time Warner has a presence.
I think a good chunk of central Massachusetts is controlled by
Charter. Unfortunately, Grafton, where I'm moving, is Charter-
territory. Let me tell you, Charter's offerings are awful compared to
Comcast. And they're bankrupt. Hopefully they'll go under and go away.

Hi Doug
Yep, that is exactly what I meant. When I was still doing PI work I
had two friends that made a very good living chasing down replica
stuff (Rolex knock offs, etc) and also working on trademark
infringements. Disney used to be the most ardent in hunting folks
down and prosecuting lawsuits. I'm still hesitant to use anything
Disney in a stamp image even though I know that is such a small
unadvertised item.
Are you guys back from Scotland? Where is your report?

You know, this is an interesting consideration that I did not make.
I suppose if I get a cease and desist letter I'll have to have a back-

The US Olympic Committee is pretty fierce, too. I heard that at one
point they tried to sue Olympic National Park in Washington and the
surrounding area businesses for using 'Olympics' in their names (the
mountains in the area are known as the Olympic Mountains and most
locals refer to them as the Olympics or the Olympic Peninsula). They
also sued the US Army for using Worldwide Language Olympics in their
annual language ability competition for linguists. The Army
eventually changed the competition to something like Worldwide
Language Competition instead. Yep, lots of folks are pretty strict
when it comes to protecting trademarks out there.

I'm waiting for Disney to make a movie about Letterboxing and then
trademark the name and go after everyone. They did that with the
historically established reggae slogan, "Cool Runnings" after their
movie.

On talk radio, the topic of frivolous lawsuits came up with lawyer Jerry Spence. Turns out most of these are lawsuits about copyright infringement such as mentioned before.

BUT if companies don't fight furiously and seriously about protecting
their copyright, there is some chance of losing it.. I don't fully
understand it, but it has been explained to me by an attorney and
made sense at the time.
Which makes sense then that companies protect copyright so closely -
especially big ones with lots to lose.
