About me:
My name is Elka Oliver and I run the CAPT (The Coalition Against Patent Trolls). My first campaign is to save a domain that was stolen by patent trolls from Bodog Entertainment
What are "patent trolls" you ask?
Patent trolls are companies or individuals who buy up patents at low prices then aggressively assert them purely for financial gain.
Bodog Entertainment is just one of many high profile companies (such as Google and ebay) who have recently been targeted by these pirates.
Why does the Bodog.com URL need saving?
On August 27th, 2007 the Bodog.com URL was ripped from Bodog Entertainment and handed over to patent trolls on a legal technicality.
1st Technology LLC won the URL after asserting that Bodog's software violated one of their patents. In place of a $48 million dollar settlement, the judge awarded these trolls the bodog.com URL.
Now these money hungry bottom feeders are holding the URL for ransom, offering to sell it back to Bodog for millions of dollars.
