Another Phandroid? WTF!!!

[Roze]

So, while googling, I came across a surprising discovery. There's another 'Phandroid' site on the web!!!

phandroid(dot)US

I feel jibbed that someone would use our Phandroid name :/ I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this website but just wanted to say...I'm not impress. I mean if you're an android enthusiast, you'd heard of Phandroid, the name/site is quite established so I say they ripped our name off!

Anyways, not sure if there's anything that can be done but just wanted to rant about it.

I wonder if that is Rob's "step child" site.

 

[Roze]

WOW got to say...this site is LOW! Not only is it copying OUR name...it is just a
regurgitating site. From the articles that I've read, they were taken word for word from reputable Android blogs. I am NOT impress even if they 'source' where it's from. Example and Source.

Hmm, I'm surprised that Rob hadn't already registered the .us domain tbh. I'm equally surprised that ARIN didn't raise an eyebrow when a similar SLD was registered (presumably) by a completely different registrant. However I'm pretty sure that Rob could argue "prior claim" due to owning/running a long-established and widely-known site of that name.

Yeah, Rob needs to initiate some proceedings aginst the lowly Mr. Phong Nguyen Thanh at InterNIC | The Internet's Network Information Center
