More Domain Disputes Labeled 'Reverse-Hijacking'

Posted by michael on from the no-harm-in-trying dept.

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.

      It was rated up because earlier some people couldn't see the story in question. And by rating it up, it makes it through peoples filters so everyone can get it. Simple really :)

    Usually ignorant people are good for a laugh, like the time a guy told someone at the church of scientology to ftp to IP 127.0.0.1 and the guy from the church of scientology took him to court, insisting that this was the other guy's compter with all their copyrighted scriptures on it. The judge literally laughed them out of the court ^_^

    Like I said, ignorant people may be good for a laugh if they try to take you to court, but what happens when you come up against an ignorant judge? There is yet to be an intelligent judge who does not give in to s famous person saying "Give me back my net-name" to someone who has bought a domain name including the famous person's name.

    Sigh -_-;

    Doesn't it make you wonder what sort of hardware they have behind goatse.cx, to survive the /. effect so well? ;-) I mean just the /. newbies alone who go to the site not knowing what it is, have to produce considerable traffic.

    I'd like to see goatse.cx guy's hardware and bandwidth statistics. Lord knows it would be a lot better than what he's been showing us...
