It's probably a violation of the not-yet-granted EU trademark but I'm not sure if we can do anything about it.
Redirects to http://seamonkey.pro.de/, has that Trademark been granted yet?
URL: www.seamonkey.de

Ever confirmed: true
It has been granted, see http://oami.europa.eu/CTMOnline/RequestManager/de_SearchBasic?transition=start&source=Log-in.html&language=en&application=CTMOnline (search for "seamonkey"). OTOH, the site there is no "typical cybersquatter" any more, I don't even spot ads...

Nice, thanks a lot for working on this! Could we make it redirect to www.seamonkey.at where I'm running the website of the official German localization?
KaiRo: this is not the right bug to be making that request :-) I suggest you file a new one in a more appropriate product and component. Gerv
As Gerv pointed out, you need to file a new bug for this, but I don't think anyone will object to this redirect request.
