More Domain Disputes Labeled 'Reverse-Hijacking'

merodach writes: "This article on technews.com actually has a rare piece of good news in it - two corporations whose attempts to take domains from others were rebuked as attempts at "reverse hijacking." We can only hope that maybe the arbitrators are finally beginning to see the light." Read the story and be amazed at the audacity of these companies.

I run a online game, and had a domain registered for it, until a company claimed I was infringing on their trademark and wanted the domain.

Well fighting them I thought would be too expensive so let them have it for their nickel. (They paid to transfer it). They are now out of business and a couple of squatters picked it up.

They want $2500 for the domain name. Excuse me?

You rolled over at the slightest provocation, and then you want pity for this? Get a pair, buddy -

Sounds like either you felt you didn't have a case, or you're an absolute puss. If you can't afford an attorney and don't want the free one that'll be appointed for you, you take it on personally.
