Chip Rosenthal Wins Unicom Domain Name Case

Posted by Hemos on from the follow-up-with-win dept.

Seth Schoen writes "As seen last month, Chip Rosenthal (whom many people know for Reply-to Munging Considered Harmful, among other projects) was threatened with the loss of his domain name unicom.com. He's now won in court and will get to keep the domain, at least for the time being."

    Ya know...I was on Chip's side until I saw in the complaint that he requested $50,000 for the domain. This negates any sympathy from me. Sounds like a cyberpirate so if the shoe fits. If it was about scrupals then ok but he showed his true colors when he asked for the money. Trademark are going to have to carry over to domain names if true ecommerce is going to fly. I have had to deal with this problem twice now at work and once with my Wife's company. Yeah, you won but that doesn't mean you are right.
