Bad News for Cheech and Chong Fans from former owner of cheechandchong.com

Cheech and Chong recently won cheechandchong.com from Ryan Tracy. Ryan Tracy owned and operated the site, with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's blessing, since 1998. Only after reuniting, did they pursue getting the domain. Rather than working out a deal, they bullied him. Ultimately, they opened a domain dispute with UDRP and won, leaving it's former owner high and dry.

Sorry to hear of the betrayal you suffered. I would've expected more from Cheech and Chong, of all people. I guess company men appear in many disguises.

I love Cheech and Chong, but there is no excuse for a lack of integrity in my book. I dont give a fuck who they are and what they've done, wrong is wrong, period.

Go after a fan after all these years now? How much money did they say you're going to make if you demanded the website name? The die hard fans are you have left. A part of my youth died today. Sad. Sad. Sad.

@GetItLegal who cares about cheech and chong anymore, cheech played the minortiy sidekick in miami vice2 , i mean nash bridges.

and chong looks like a used up Sham WOW. who managed to make the 70s show an even worse show than it was. yall should have stayed dissapeared , instead your ten years behind on technology and then take a loyal fan to court. ill help spread the word that you are a deusch, find a new gig, no one cares about your "work" anymore

C&C should own their name. They are back, the business is back. Its time for them to control it. I think you know this deep down Ryan. Legally, Tommy is 100% right.

BUT. Tommy, remember that there is more to this than the law. If what Ryan said is true than he did a lot for you. Now that things have taken off for C&C, you should have your name back, but I think you should also do something really REALLY nice for the guy that kept things going through the lean years.

Fair is fair.

you're totally wrong about ryan and his experience. completely. and if, at the end of the day, you're not completely shafted by them, you'll be a very rare exception.
