Megaupload, une marque mondiale de fait

Les noms de domaine de Megupload sont entre les mains du FBI. Mais pas ses marques !
Parce que le mom Megaupload est une marque mondiale de fait, parce qu'il subsiste de nombreux autres noms de domaine, la question se pose aussi de l'avenir de la marque Megaupload.
Début de réponse sur le Petit Musée des Marques, avec la complicité (purement intellectuelle) de Frédéric Glaize.

“In case domains are being seized from the registrar, it would be safer to choose a non-US registrar[...]”.

This is the answer MegaUpload business developer made to a July 8, 2010 e-mail by MegaUpload CEO Kim DOTCOM entitled “attention”, which contained a link to a news article entitled “Pirate Bay and Megaupload Escape Domain Seizure by US”. This article explained how the US Government was taking action against sites making available movies and TV shows. In his e-mail,DOTCOM wrote “this is a serious threat to our business. Please look into this and see how we can protect ourselfs” (sic). He asked “Should we move our domain to another country (canada or even HK?)” (pages 44-45 of the Indictment).
