Oxford Domain Resolution May Indicate A Shift In Attitude

ajs writes: "As many may have already discovered, Yahoo is reporting that Oxford University has won a domain dispute. The suprising, and perhaps frightening part was a comment from one of their spokespeople: "We want to be sure if you do type into a search engine something about Oxford University or type something into a URL, then you will come to us." The idea that anyone would expect search engine results to be protectable is a little odd. What if google lists my "I went to Oxford" page first?"
