Hells Angels Sue Alleged Cybersquatter for $2 Million

That’s the case of Fawn and Terry Myers, who are named in a lawsuit alleging they registered about 20 domain names related to Hells Angels. Either Fawn or Terry subsequently listed the domain names on eBay with titles such as:

“Hells Angels Domain Name HA-MC.COM USA Europe RARE Dot”
“Hells Angels Domain Name ALL 81 LLLL.com 4L USA EUROPE”

Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation sued the Myers this month on 20 counts of cybersquatting at $100,000 each.

FRESNO, Calif.—The Hells Angels are suing a Visalia woman who allegedly registered 20 Internet domain names that would be likely fits for the motorcycle club and tried to auction them off on eBay.

The U.S. District Court lawsuit filed this month accuses Fawn Myers of cyberpiracy and trademark infringement. The Hells Angels are seeking any profits Myers made from the domains and $100,000 in damages for each name found to belong to the club.

The disputed Web site addresses include ha-mc.com and 81ca.com. The suit claims the number 81 is a well-known nickname for the Hells Angels.

Terry Myers, who answered the telephone at Fawn Myers' home but would not say how he is related to her, said he registered the domains and that the case is more complicated than the Angels make it sound.
