Let me repeat. Her OLD TYPEPAD BLOG
If you are a TypePad customer, take note. If you leave TypePad, this could happen to you.
TypePad refuses to remove the site, although it clearly violates their TOS.
UPDATE: Link removed, that's enough sending it traffic. Just remember, TypePad members, your old URL may be converted into a porn site. More support from Beth.

Guess TypePad sucks even more than Blogger.

TypePad re-sold it to someone who is violating their TOS, and refuses to do anything about it.
S.A. and TypeMaxiPad have Terms of Service. They're letting the new owner violate them.
Not only that, "Merri Musings" is copyrighted material.
G'head, Malcolm Y, try setting up a URL with "Microsoft" in it.

2) You're confusing trademarks vs. copyrights with "Microsoft"
3) There are plenty of COMPANYX-sucks.com websites out there, where COMPANYX cannot do anything about it.

Um, no it wouldn't be worth it for me to pay for TypePad for another year - I blog for fun, and I would prefer my hard-earned income go toward other things. PLUS, based on their TOS, I never expected TypePad to permit (and almost WELCOME) such filth to be housed on their platform, so it never entered my mind that this would have happened when I closed my account. I'm not a fool enough to think they would have kept my URL and not "sold" it for a long time, but I think a company should stand behind the TOS they put out for all of their customers to review and agree to. That makes Six Apart as scummy as the person running that site and in my book, I've made a GREAT decision to dump TypePad.
Most people that have that old URL on their site have been very responsive, of course, by changing it to my new URL. Over time, this will be a non-issue anyway as I continue to build traction at the new URL.
Andthatisall.

In the Internet domain scheme typepad.com is addressed by registering the domain with an internet authority or an agency so designated (for example I use an outfit called Namesecure to register domains). Then the Internet becomes aware of the domain and knows how to direct traffic destined for the particular domain.
However, anything to the left of typepad in the domain typepad.com is under control of typepad.com. In the case we are talking about merrimusings is a subdomain of typepad.com and traffic first goes to typepad.com and then typepad.com directs the traffic to merrimusings.
So in this case Merri has to rely on the good graces and TOS of typepad.com.
