The domain gmail.pl , registered at the end of last year by the Polish poets collective Grupa Mlodych Artystow i Literatow (GMAiL), is ready to sue Google. The search giant insists on the illegality of using the name gmail on the Internet, because it repeats the title of its mail service. The plaintiff does not speak about the buyback of the domain.
However, the defendants claim that they do not intend to sell gmail.pl. “We did not buy this name in order to resell Google afterwards,” AFP said.Isabella Kravchik, founder of the poetic organization. “We purchased the domain legally, with our own money, and we are not going to lose what we consider to be our property.” She added that she was surprised to find gmail.pl unoccupied. Using this circumstance, the GMAiL company was going to increase its popularity.
