The Worldwide Jurisdiction Risk That Domain Investors and Brokers Face with Michael Gargiulo

Kickstart Commerce Podcast - Domain Investing & Development Strategies

Welcome to the Kickstart Commerce podcast where we share search marketing and domain investing strategies to help grow your business.

In today's episode, our guest is Michael Garguilo — a long-time domain investor and developer, and serial entrepreneur.

Today Michael and I confront:

• How domain investors are one frivolous lawsuit or claim away from a domain registrar locking their digital assets
• We specifically speak about the case of GoDaddy locking Brent Oxley’s multi-million dollar portfolio of ultra-premium domains by a bad actor filing a lawsuit in India
• Michael shares actionable insight towards reducing and eliminating the risk of litigation lockups of domain portfolios, including which domain registrars are domain-investor friendly
• Lastly, we talk about the future, the credibility hit, and monetary losses, that both domain owners and their domains of such frivolous lawsuits or claims face.

Also, a few days after this recording, per Domain Name Wire, Godaddy will no longer indiscriminately lock domains when they are subject to a legal challenge.
