Ethical Question : Former Partner is unwilling to part with domain name.
As I was having financial problems as well I decided to take all of the marketing knowledge I used and started a new niche site creating videos for internet marketers.
Now I finally have the resources to begin going after that first niche which is still very lucrative. I asked her if she was interested in doing work, but she's back in school trying to get her masters. I offered to buy the domain name from her, but she refused and said it was hers.
So my question is this, is it ethical for me to create my own site with a similar name in the same niche and peruse that market? Do I owe her any consideration? Honestly I'm kinda angry right now as I just got through talking to her...and I feel like buying up a few domain names with just a word or two changed and going all in on burying her for this. All she did was register a domain name(which I came up with), and not complete a site (8 months and all you have is the index page done? Really???)...I did the design work, the research and I still have my contacts. I felt like I was being fair offering to buy it from her. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all and just went for it. What say you?
