Sen. Clinton Wins Rights to HillaryClinton.com

Posted by timothy on from the also-interns-are-skanks.com dept.

SteveBlink writes "The National Arbitration Forum announced today that a ruling has been issued in favor of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton regarding rights to the Internet domain name hillaryclinton.com. A quick search of the Yahoo! phone book reveals at least 3 other people sharing the name Hillary Clinton living Ohio, California, and Delaware, respectively. It's curious to note that Sen. Clinton's full legal name isn't "Hillary Clinton," and the website itself is a generic link farm that makes no overt reference to the senator."

    I've seen a lot of RTFAs in my day, but it's rare to need to suggest the submitter RTFA!

    What does that have to do with the price of Tea in Washington? The one who HAD and was USING the domain WAS NOT a "Hillary Clinton", it was a "Michele Dinoia" who was using it to redirect traffic to search (*cough*)SPAM(*cough) engines.

    Good riddance to a bit more sleezy domain profiteering. I don't even like Clinton, but I'm glad she won.
