The UDRP: Is It Un-Fair.com?

typecast writes "A study of more than 3,000 UDRP decisions by a Canadian law prof. suggests that ICANN's domain-dispute resolution process may be even more unfair than Slashdot types already believe. This article says the study confirms organizations such as WIPO and the National Arbitration Forum decide most cases in favor of trademark holders. But it also says it's clear that individual arbitrators with strong "anti-cybersquatting" records are the ones most likely to be handed UDRP cases. A copy of the study and a minimal database of UDRP-panelist stats can be found at Geist's own UDRPInfo Web site."

    Give me a fucking break, I'm not even trying to be sneaky about this shit.

    If I wanted to, I could change the sig right now and make these morons look like fools by claiming that I have a goatsex link.

    But am I? No.

    Jesus, get yourself a life.

    Why don't you guys give it a rest, and just use Mozilla 0.9.3 or Konqueror to block images from the goat, compugeek, and other troll sites that people post here. Works for me.
