You can't run a website with my name any more than you can have one called Ford.com

."

Well, actually I could, provided the domain name was available, and there was no intent to mislead the viewing public that the site

stevensamblis.com

and .net, I think I am on stable legal

ground under 15 USC 1129(a&b), in that there was, and is, no intent to profit from the action. I have not, and did not, contact you

in a effort to threaten, persuade, or otherwise extort money from you for the domain name and/or rights thereto. And likewise, you

never contacted me to inquire about a possible purchase of such. In fact, I believe you once owned the .com instance of your name

and let it lapse. Additionally, the site is being used in affiliation with the group of sites I own and maintain related to a work of

authorship protected under title 17, United States Code.

Now... having said that... I would like to work this out amicably, as I am in support of you and your company and its efforts to

succeed. Surely there must be common ground we can agree on relative to the content on the site. If you don't want me using those

pictures, send me some, or authorize ones I can use. As I just recently acquired those domain names, the site has not been fully

developed yet. In fact I haven't spent much time at all on it.

The decision on how this dispute is resolved is up to you. You can go the adversarial route, or the amicable route. Hopefully you

can see the benefit to the amicable route.
