Personal names are obviously trickier to deal with then unique corporate names. But in this case, given the somewhat public recognition of the names involved and their obvious connection to poker, this company has clearly infringed upon their rights. Interestingly, I believe if there was no redirect to Party at all it would be tough (and perhaps impossible) to get the name back. With that said if I were any of these people I would try to capture some type of information that proves these names link to the affiliate at Party.

yeah, and even though party is a bunch of idiots, couldn't you claim that any revenue generated by that affiliate under that tracker is rightfully yours and you should have claim to at least some of it. That's the whole intent of that law anyway. If some dude got a bunch of people to sign up using your name, I don't see how you don't have a right to claim at least some of that money.

But party is a bunch of idiots so they probably couldn't understand what you're talking about after the word "money".

You wouldn't have a claim against Party, but you could certainly make one against the squatter. Of course, that's an expensive proposition and the easiest thing to do is just have an attorney send a letter on behalf of all of these people saying to sign this transfer form or deal with the consequences under the law. I could certainly see Party revoking their affiliate agreement though.

Yeah I wasn't thinking of it in a court sense as much of a "party pays the affiliate", so party should pay me sense.
