A Shuzi bracelet is supposed to work miracles, but it doesn’t have powers to “steal” domain names.
ShuziQi, which sells “Shuzi” bracelets, has lost a domain dispute over the domain Shuzi.com.
The details of the case aren’t as entertaining as what Shuzi is, so I’ll be brief on the case. Basically, the owner of the domain registered it four years before ShuziQi existed, and Shuzi’s English transliteration can mean “digital”. The domain owner registered several other domains that had generic transliterations. The panel ruled in favor of the respondent.
OK, now on to Shuzi.
ShuziQi offers bracelets you wear that apparently have awesome powers. Here’s how they describe them:
Programmed using our own proprietary process to resonate with your cells’ natural frequency to improve your bio-system balance. Reinforces your cells’ natural frequency energy level which reduces erratic cell behavior, allowing your body to work more efficiently.
Hmm. I was a little skeptical until I read the reviews on the web site. The first doctor’s review:
Earlier today I received a Shuzi bracelet to try out. I support the philosophy behind the Shuzi and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their overall quality of life.
Sweet. If a doctor hasn’t tried it yet but just got one in the mail, I’m all for it. I think I should get one for my dog, too, after reading this testimonial:
I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my daughters little dog Tammy. The kids jumped on the bed and didn’t see little Tammy. She spent a week in the vets with a very severe back injury. They gave her anti inflammatory shots and sent her home with pills. A week at home and she still had difficulty walking. My daughter put the PHD tag on the Tammy on Monday night and on Tuesday the she was scampering down the driveway. Dogs can’t lie, I’m sold. I’ve ordered a ring and can’t wait to put it on.
If you start using a ShuziQi bracelet and experience dizziness for the first few days, don’t be alarmed. Apparently this is caused by “a “detox†in which your body is flushing out toxins in your blood stream.”

Works on dogs too? Is ShihTzuShuzi.com still available? (Say that domain 5 times fast and you’ll get slapped.)

they couldn’t say it on the internets if it wasn’t true.

So why the fu*k is WIPO and the NAF still allowing these cases to proceed to UDRP ? This is sick.
They don’t review sh*t like they say they do to qualify UDRPs. They just let every UDRP pass through.
Has anyone ever heard of the NAF and WIPO stopping a case from proceeding to UDRP ? I have never heard of this once.
I’m just waiting for a UDRP like this to come my way so I can bypass the UDRP and just take them to court and run their asses into the ground instead of the other way around. I’m dying to do it to make a point.
Who knows I might even get together former UDRP defendants an get a class action going against WIPO or the NAF.
Wouldn’t that be fun!!! 🙂

I don’t know about this product but I am a believer in the PowerBalance bracelet which is a similar crazy sounding thing. It’s essentially a surfing tool. Of course they got nailed with some class action suit because the package claimed it was scientifically proven, but it’s not scientifically proven. Got one for my Grandpop who couldn’t walk without holding the walls any more. Didn’t tell him what it was. Next day he called me and literally said it was a miracle that he could walk down the middle of the hall again. It was like a solid real life informercial. That’s my maybe crazy 2 cents.

It’s too bad these bracelets don’t cure gullibility.
