So sue me.

Actually courts have shut down many websites for using a protected
name inside their domain name. Remember, the legal standard is that if
it can create confusion for a customer. To the extent that it detracts
from EAA's name they can be held liable.

Yep and while it is a South African company that produces the site it is
a US IP so all that international argument goes right out the window.

Robert, if you are right, then ever domain name registered is in
danger.

If all I have to have is three letters in sequence to be liable.

Out what window? Since when does the US own the Internet?

Here's the bottom line. Is the EAA pressing these folks to punt their
EAA which is www.xxxEAAxx.com? No. You have brought this to their
attention, correct? Then let's see what happens for in what happens
lies the truth as to who is right (me) and wrong (you).

The US doesn't own the internet but in this case the IP in question is
in the US and subject to US trademark law. Whether the EAA chooses in
this case to defend the trademark in this case has little to do with
either of us being right or wrong.

I think you aren't reading my entire post. It has to create confusion
to the consumer to be an infringement. For instance
mcdonaldsburgers.com would be an infringement but mcdonaldsundies.com
would not.

Robert, I don't think Gezellig reads anyone's posts other than to create
an argument about them.

OK, I'll buy into that. When you hit the opening page of their website,
it clearly says their real name by their logo, that is a CAA ground
school (and other offerings). I never thought it had anything to do with
eaa.org.

I'm more confused about EAA.org than the OP, giving away a Cirrus. lol
