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."

  1. Domain names, always unfair by littlerubberfeet · · Score: 1, Funny

    Network solutions and the other companies have always been unfair in their administration. big companies like big companies, screw the little guy. Perhaps we should all just stick with IPs and forget the domain names. Who will say I AM GONNA SUE YOU, i have trademark issues with 101.145.162.98?

    For some reason, I find it hilarious that a Web site entitled "The Individualist Anarchist" stuffs cookies down my browser.

    Oh, well. Who am I to tell its webmaster what to do? *rimshot*

    Wait a minute, so you're saying that the people with money are influencing the people with power?

    Stop the presses, I don't believe it.
