One for the Little Guy's Domain

Posted by Hemos on from the one-small-victory dept.

tsieling writes "The local Vancouver gutterpress, Vancouver Sun, is reporting that a local with a name whose initials and last name spell out Armani has been allowed to keep the domain armani.com. A refreshing decision from the often-tilted balance that the UN domain posse tries to strike. Check it out."

    This could have been easily settled if they just played nicely.

    This is how it should be handled.. All he wanted was to keep his email address.. He tells mega-conglom this, that they can have it for a pittance if they let him keep his email address. Mega-conglom, who thinks there is no way but theirs, sues anyway, and because of their inability to 'play nice' they lose any chance at the domain..

    Cool for you, Mr. Mani..

  4. mani.org gone? by BxT · · Score: 1
    Over the last three years, G.A. Modefine has been involved in more than 10 disputes involving Web addresses that used variations of the Armani name, and has won all but two -- Mani's, and one ivolving a New Jersey man who registered the name mani.org.

    Well, mani.org seems to be gone- so much for that.
