Files cybersquatting complaint against GoDaddy’s NameFind — Amy Schumer

Comedian demands Amy-Schumer.com domain name.

Comedian Amy Schumer has filed a cybersquatting complaint with National Arbitration Forum against GoDaddy division NameFind.

Schumer’s official website is AmySchumer.com. NameFind is the registered owner of Amy-Schumer.com.

As stated by historical Whois records, the domain name was registered to a Los Angeles man until late 2015. It then went under GoDaddy’s DomainsByProxy service and resurfaced in early 2016 under the NameFind LLC name.

The domain has been parked with keywords related to the comedian. DomainTools shows that it had a sale price of $3,124 at Afternic, but it doesn’t appear to right now be in Afternic’s inventory.

My guess is that NameFind will voluntarily relinquish this domain name. [Update: they handed the domain name over.]
