A pro gun organization, hand over its web site domain names to HCI.
Liberty Watch's web sites,[url]www.handguncontrol.net[/url],[url]www.cphv.com[/url] and [url]cphv.net[/url], disseminate information, political beliefs, satire and parody supporting the second ammendment.
"HCI asserts it owns valid service marks on the domain names-yet has provided no bona fide proof," states Richard J. Lucibella, Liberty Watch's executive director. "HCI has no legal right to restrict our web sites' use of common, everyday English words and phrases.
In an effort to peaceably co-exist, Liberty Watch has offered to publish mutualy acceptable disclaimers, but HCI has been unyielding in its demand that Liberty Watch relinquish the domain names. The group has now filed suit against HCI.
