Domain Name Dispute Process Called Into Question

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-anyone-shocked-by-this? dept.

Chemist109 writes "The Register has an article about a study of the domain name dispute resolution process. The study accuses domain arbitrators of "actively choosing judges who favoured complainants (trademark holders)." Since the complainant in a domain dispute is allowed to choose where a case is heard, this ensures the arbitrators continued revenue."

    Domain Name Dispute Process Called Into Question

    I was under the impression that this dispute has been ongoing for quite a long while. The whole process is inherently flawed and geared to please corporations (how many domains held by individuals have been seized by corporations?) and is a matter of controversy. Silly /. journalism! I thought this site was about news. :)

    Please explain why the solution is wrong - if you can.

    As to being a raving nut - my logic is reasoned and rational - please explain what is not - if you can.

    How can a post to these threads be spam - if it is on topic?

    The fact that you have not seen the solution before, bares witness to the fact it needs repeating - does it not?

    If you do not answer these points, then you clearly are a coward - no wonder you wish to remain anonymous ;-)
