Craigslist demands shutdown of Craigslistblog.org

  • 0 min read

Craigslist, the fabulously successful Bay area company, has demanded the shutdown and handover of Craigslist fansite Craigslistblog.org.

In a rather hamhanded C&D, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster writes:

We need you to stop using the infringing domain CRAIGSLISTBLOG.ORG immediately, and arrange for tranfer of it to us asap – using/selling/transfering infringing domains is illegal, and penalties up to $100,000 per domain can be applied.

Regardless of your efforts to find a new domain, you must stop using this one.

The original C&D emails led to a post from Buckmaster on the Craigslist blog and a rather candid response from Tim, the blogger at Craigslistblog.org, asking Buckmaster to step down.
