Fair Domain-Dispute Arbitration Firm Quits the Business

Posted by michael on from the cheaters-prosper dept.

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."

    A sixth-grader could design a more fair system.

    That certainly depends on which sixth grader and whether that sixth grader wants a fair system in the first place if that sixth grader has a stake in the pot. Too many people assume children are innocent little darlings, it certainly isn't a general case. Often, you can give them a chance at chocolate and they'll do anything to get that.
