    This does devalue the brand, so askaboutmoney is just another (cleverly disguised) corporate site then ?

    Why is that redirecting to cents.ie? Is it owned by Brendan Burgess of askaboutmoney.com?

    There is no relationship whatsoever between www.askaboutmoney.com (a not-for-profit site owned by Brendan Burgess) and www.askaboutmoney.ie, which redirects to www.cents.ie.

    Surely there is a case of passing off here.

    He has done something wrong, just not illegal.

    Oh right so the owner's morals are supposed to override his business ambition?

    For some strange reason I don't think that'll happen!!! Has it ever happened with anyone?

    IMO, what he's done is very smart and if he's not breaking any laws then even better.

    I was merely pointing out the difference between illegal and wrong. "Wrong" is a word taken from morals...

    As to whether an owner's morals should override his business ambition, yes they should.

    That may be true; I was expressing an opinion (my own) as to what people should do.

    Ok great well I think people shouldn't drink so much as I think it's wrong, I doubt my opinion will do much though but thanks for your opinion anyway.

    Arguing against the expression of opinion after making nearly 2000 posts?

    Listen I understand where you're coming from and I'm sure the owner of www.askaboutmoney.com would like the law to be on his side but unfortunately it's not, he doesn't have a foot to stand on.

    The only way to resolve the matter would be for the .ie to be sold to the .com but I'm not sure that selling it would be a good idea from Pbarry's point of view as he is going to receive alot of publicity/hits whether they be for positive/negative purposes we can only wait and see.

    I wonder on what basis pbarry could register askaboutmoney.ie as you need to have a company and/or a business name to register such a domain.

    Well seeing as how it's in his name I'm sure he has got that covered, otherwise he couldn't have gotten the domain in the first place.

    Or it might be a case of the IEDR applying their own rules to suit themselves.

    The views of discerning consumers as to whether they would have anything to do with the kind of business that would attempt to benefit from the reputation of a non-profit making, community based site may well have an impact on his bottom line.
