Fair Domain-Dispute Arbitration Firm Quits the Business

Posted by michael on from the cheaters-prosper dept.

fwc writes: "According to this Newsbytes story, EResolution has decided to quit the Domain Name Dispute-Resolution business because its reputation for being fair has driven away its potential customers - the trademark holders who are filing the complaints. Apparently (and understandably) the trademark holders prefer to use those arbitrators who find for the trademark holder most of the time. Perhaps it is time for ICANN to rethink their policy."

    That used to be part of English common law, it was called "trial by combat". Although it was repealed in England, I've read that it might be possible to petition a judge for trial by combat in some American states, since the legal systems of most states is based on English common law. It would make those Microsoft antitrust cases a lot more interesting :-).
