Hmmm. The plot gets thicker. The fact the guy is an ex-Falcon employee, and the fact that he also registered "jasonadonis.com" goes miles further to
show an indication of bad faith, which is one of the primary reasons that domain disputes are successful.

Actually, sending a letter to the domain registrar won't really accomplish anything; it would seem that your attorney is unfamiliar with the specific procedure, the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, established by ICANN to resolves issues like this. Here are the links to the policy itself, and to providers of dispute resolution services that ICANN has partnered with to streamline the process.

http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/approved-providers.htm

WIPO is, I think, the most well known dispute resolution provider, and their website is here:

http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/

I'd read (or get an attorney that's familiar with the specifics of domain disputes based on bad faith and unlawful appropriation of a trade name to do so) the UDRP in the link at the top, and f you feel like your situation fits (which I think it probably does), file a dispute with WIPO.

Most likely, the guy who owns the name won't want to spend the time/money to fight, and will just give up the domain.

yet another reason to only go to web-specific attorneys when doing things on the internet. most attorneys don't know a thing about the web and they don't know a thing about adult.

hmmmm.

well, it's a somewhat sticky issue because the owner of the domain is in the US and you're in Canada. But then again, the domain dispute process is a worldwide procedure.

The ICANN policy itself is somewhat informal, not like a full-on legal process, so you *might* be able to get through it yourself, but it certainly could be helpful to have some advice from a specialist.

You could start by contacting the provincial bar association (barrister's association up there?) and asking for a referral. What you want is someone that is specifically familiar with Internet law, intellectual property and domain name disputes. Usually (in the US, at least), the attorney will give you an inexpensive initial consultation to determine if s/he can help you.

One other thing to be aware of: Many attorneys have a habit of claiming ability to handle cases they have no expertise in, and then they bill you, and you get to pay for the time it takes for them to read up on whatever it is they don't know. So ask a lot of questions with whomever you're talking to about how many actual domain disputes that particular attorney has handled and what the outcomes were.

I echo Basschick's point... I think the majority of people treat attorneys as "one-size-fits-all", but there are really a *lot* of specialties and subspecialties, and going to someone who specializes in the issue you're dealing with, while they may be more $ per hour than a generalist, will usually save you in the long run, 'cause they'll already know the issues and what to do, and they will also most likely handle the case much more competently than would a generalist. You wouldn't go to a psychiatrist for brain surgery, you'd call on a neurosurgeon, even though both specialists are MDs; the same holds true of law.

From the looks of things he is webmastering the Jason Adonis site, and it wouldn't be a good idea for an active member in adult to hijack domains within the industry.

Pierre, I'd contact your processor and see about withholding his payment. You shouldn't have to pay him a cent for hijacking your name and capitalizing off free SE traffic.

Well I don’t know about that, he did just give up the domain with out much of a fight at all, I might just let the 5 sales he made go as a show of good faith, but I am a bit of a softy.

I'd focus on two things...

PierreFitchOnline.com was registered on 8/23/04. PierreFitch.com was registered just 7 days earlier.

Him being an employee of Falcon sure makes it look like he used insider knowledge to hijack the name just before the legit registration was attempted.

Then he waits a year and a half for you to open to affiliates and redirects the domain to your site. That domain is not in the SE's, so we're talking pure type-in traffic.

Nothing but bad intentions here.
