WIPO Panel Says Ron Paul Guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking

Posted by timothy on from the take-a-man's-name dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ron Paul lost his two cybersquatting complaints against RonPaul.com and RonPaul.org. In the case of RonPaul.org, Paul was been found guilty of 'reverse domain name hijacking'. A reverse domain name hijacking finding means that the arbitration panel believes the case was filed in bad faith, resulting in the abuse of the administrative process. The panel ruled this way since Paul filed the case after the owner of RonPaul.org had already offered to give him the domain for free. The panel also ruled against Paul for the RonPaul.com domain name."

    The most bizarre part about this IMO is the site is still claims to be a "grassroots Ron Paul supporter site" even after Paul basically threatened them and claimed the site was a scam trying to sell goods and advertising based on his name. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

    Paul's record shows that he is nothing but a bigoted, self-centered, hypocritical opportunist.
