dude. you don't get any rights to a .com because it's your name. domain name dispute resolution almost entirely looks at trademark usage, with preference usually going to whoever actually legally registered a trademark (and is making use of it)....

What I'm saying is, that dude holds almost no rights to waider.com just becuase it's his last name. If you're using "Waider" in a product or piece of software (commercial or free, no difference), you can probably dispute ownership of the domain. Look into ICANN's website.....

Not to mention, waider.com is not actually beign USED, it's jsut forwading to another site which doesn't appear to have any relation to waider whatsoever. If they don't have a legitimate reason to be using waider.com in this wasteful manner (like a product/service/trademark called "waider"), your chances of winning a dispute are that much higher.

I just searched WAIDER on US trademarks office.. "No TESS records were found to match the criteria of your query."

If you've got the money and you're using "waider" as a name of a product or business or anything like that, pursue domain name dispute resolution.. :)

This is why I bought WISN-TV in Milwaukee. Sure, it cost a lot, but I'll do anything to protect my brand.
