Yet Another Bad UDRP Decision

mrbrown1602 writes "According to a NewsBytes article, a Florida man named Peter Frampton had his domain, PeterFrampton.com, taken away thru the quasi-juduicial process established by ICANN for domain name disputes because he shares his name with a washed up rock star from the 70s. A copy of the WIPO decision can be found here."

    The original holder of the Domain was using it for e-commerce and using logos from Peter (washed-up) Frampton's site.

    It was an intentional effort to cash in on the musician's name.
