Marc Rasmussen, the owner of thesarasotamls.com, has been ordered by (ICANN) to transfer his domain name to (SAR) the Sarasota Association Realtors. In this blog post, Morgan Carey, CEO of REW gives all the particulars. Marc lost the latest trademark infringement charge leveled against him by SAR in their ongoing battle. Marc was found not guilty earlier of ethic violations charges. Marc states that his website is not affiliated with the Sarasota MLS making this action by SAR unjust. Not one person has ever confused the website for the Sarasota Board MLS. No customer has ever complained.
Marc’s crime is his overwhelming online presence. He received seven hundred visitors daily. He ranked very high for all Sarasota real estate keywords. Visitors search for properties not for Sarasota MLS. Marc did not trick or fool anyone. It is not fair to pick on any Realtor only because of his online authority. The Sarasota Board should let Marc redirect to www.luxurysarasotarealestate.com so that many years of work would not be wasted.

Sounds monopolistic to me. SAR should compete, not hijack!
