Advice needed on Damages

[suthra]

Hi pals,
I recently owned a typo of a famous website.
Consider for example: Times.com and i registered Time.com(typo of times)

I joined an affiliate program (say for example>> india.com (where both india.com and times.com are in the same line of business.)
and used the following words

Time.com is now a part of india.com
and added an image which will redirect the users upon clicking to my affiliate link at india.com.

Now, times.com filed a case in court against me and i was ordered to immediately shutdown my site time.com which i did.

Now they have filed for damages, that i was trying to spoil their name through this site.

Is this valid?.

Any help will really be appreciated , iam really worried now.

They dint even issue a notice or warning letter before filing for a case or damages.

Thanks a lot

I think the really bad thing here is that he put that about "this company now belongs to the other company", jeez !, that must hurt !
Of course, the company will go after him for damages, since he is directly causing a damage, of course. Not want to be pesimistic, it is just how it
sounds.
I would take the "begging" advise.
