I believe that WIPO should change its name to something more descriptive and fitting. For those that missed this:
WIPO PRESS RELEASE - September 11, 2000
The World Intellectual Property Organisation, to improve commercial profitability, are to have a name and Internet site change. Formally WIPO, is now to be known as SWIPO. We can be found at our new site SWIPO.ORG.
We have the full backing of United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO.GOV) and Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN.ORG).
We are the first and most excellent of the arbitration services for ICANNs big business friendly process - the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). Do not think just because we are part of the United Nations (UN.ORG) that we are even-handed, therefore may rule against you. Being financed by big business - we know where our loyalties lie.
We are to shortly start an advertising campaign to inform of this name change, aimed at the corporate and celebrity world. We will guarantee to them with absolute certainty, that they we will get any domain name they covet - whoever already owns it. Unless owners have more money and power, of course. We can do this because of rationalisation, ridding ourselves of honest panellists in readiness for our Initial Public Offering in January 2001.
Do not use any of the other arbitration services - eResolution etc, even in the past we were the most successful in getting the name you want. We made the rules - we know all the tricks. We are the most powerful, growing daily, and can take whatever you want. Tell us the name; we will do the rest. Example: Paramount approached us a short while back, saying they would quite like CREW.com for their camera crews to use. We thought about it and came up with a winning excuse - Star Trek has the most famous crews of any ship on the planet (or off). We told them to hang on until after a smaller case for the name had gone through. It would be silly to turn down jCREW money.
We will push aside ALL competition, using the quote from Francis Gurry, Advertising and Publicity Executive, "Domain Name Hijacking - Forget the Rest - We Swipe Best".
We deny all of the libellous slurs being put by our critics. WIPO.org.uk say we do not look after the interests of all trademark holders. It is a malicious lie; we follow a strict set procedure to make sure we do so:
1. We give domain to UDRP appellant, after their cheque clears.
2. We contact each trademark in turn, no matter how obscure or tenuous the link.
3. We offer them arbitration to take domain away from the new owner.
Case in point: After winning them JethroTull.com, told Tull about JT.com, which we just usurped for Japan Tobacco. Tull decided it was wanted; their money is as good as anyone's. We came up a winning argument; they are 'JT' to friends, all families and fans.
Seen a domain name you would like to hijack? Order it now from our site at SWIPO.ORG.
"Domain Name Hijacking - Forget the Rest - We Swipe Best"
Semblance of any the above to reality is purely a joke, as is the true state of affairs. All TM acknowledged. This has been written in the spirit of 'free speech' (you may have heard the expression). SWIPO is pointed to WIPO. If you want more of the truth (you be the judge), visit my site wipo.org.uk. You can see the answer to trademark problems there.
Wipo.org.uk and swipo.org have no connection with, and wishes to be totally disassociated from, the World Intellectual Property Organization. The above is considered and informed opinion.
To expand further on my considered and informed opinions.
Many of the people involved have worked in legal profession. They have been asked why they do not introduce.REG to solve many of the trademark problems.
They do not deny that it will solve the problems and make things legal. They are unable to think of excuse not to use it. Others in the legal profession have told me it will solve problems (honourable people).
Big business may not like it - but in law we all have to abide by rules.
Come on then big shot. What do you logically deduce from this?
YOU are the one with intentional misunderstandings.
As for ungrounded accusations, you only have to look at the background of many people involved in legal profession. By not allowing.REG - who are the ones making the most out of this?
Writing is not one of my skills - mainly consists of logic and insight;-)
There are many facts in there for those with the *INTELLIGENCE* to see.
Primarily: that an identifier, country and class are essential for Internet trademark domains.
ALSO:
That they stop free speech by not allowing people to use words they wish
That they break unfair competition law giving only one business use of name when many others have it.
That they steal peoples property off them.
That they fail to protect us from fraud with certificate of authentication.
They use zoning to screw as much profit out of each market place - GREED. We in the UK are specially profitable to them.
Intellectual Property is the excuse big business use in the courts for this greed. We as individuals have no rights in this area - see what the United Nations organization WIPO are doing, stealing peoples domains.
Details on my site - WIPO.org.uk -
This Organization has no connection with, and wishes to be totally disassociated from, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO.ORG).
The idea was / is to let as many people as possible know what they are doing. And to let the authorities realise, that we know.
It is up to the people and those in power (with a conscience), if they want to do something about it. It does not matter to those that do not care or are too stupid to understand.
Unfortunately, many in power also fall into that catagory, (to whom do not care or are too stupid to understand!). Either that or are too busy with deviously dealings themselves.
In early January I emailed Washington Post, amongst many others, about big businesses control of Internet:
"if you believe in free speech why don't you try having the domain name AOLtimewarner.com to complain about the monopoly they are holding and then see what happens."
The European Commission originally opposed the merger of AOL and Time-Warner, on grounds they would be too powerful. On November 10, 2000 the U.S. anti-trust regulators voted unanimously to delay their decision on the $127 billion union.
It looks like they caved in to Big Businesses Big Money. They obviously have no concept of what a monoploy is - they are imbeciles.
WIPO.org.uk - nothing to do with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO.ORG)
I see you have answered in recent threads about UK matters. Are you ex-brit?
If so, you must be aware that most of the broadsheets have distinct bias to Government. They allow them to spin any story they wish on the pages and pass it off as fact.
My personal opinion is this - once the truth has been spun upon, it is no longer the truth.
The best example of this, is phrase used by them, "Beef is safe".
It has so far killed over 80 people here. Mainly young people - one of latest was only 14 years old - the age of my youngest daughter. nvCJD can take 2 years to kill.
I believe it can still kill and have put this warning on my skilful.com site:
WARNING: Beef may still kill. Beef from animals older than 30 months is illegal to sell. Isn't something not taken into account? Common sense really. Cattle can pass BSE onto offspring, without signs shown. Recent news has shown mothers pass vCJD onto children. It seems very stupid then to sell beef at all - even animals under 30 months. Assurances aside, it still has infection. You will not find me feeding beef to my family. This has to be one of the most terrible ways to watch your children die.
What nearly all of you are failing to realise is, your domain could be victim of reverse hijacking by big business, at any time in the future.
If you have your company on it, it will never be safe, even after investing ALL into your business. No 'first come - first served', WIPO are making it 'first to take legal action and pay them - first served'.
In my considered and informed opinion, UDRP is a big business charter to steal from you - the authorities help them.
You have been warned!
WIPO.org.uk - nothing to do with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO.org).
If Fandom is trademarked name it should be identified as such.
I have been campaigning for the TLD of.REG for trademark holders, on my site WIPO.org.uk - Nothing to do with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO.org).
The proper use of a trademark - It has to be set apart by special typeface or script. And use "tm" for an unregistered mark and "®" for a registered mark.
The Domain Naming System (DNS) encompasses all words - it is NOT a Trademark System, so requires a tag - like "tm".
The TLD of.REG would fulfil that requirement!
Anyone that says the DNS is a TM System is abridging the freedom of speech. Which means they are against the First Amendment.
Something that Secretary Mineta, DoC, seems to be. I have told him so!
You could also ask Paul Mockapetris, creator of Domain Name System. He will tell you it is not a TM System.
I have been campaigning for the TLD of.REG for trademark holders, on my site WIPO.org.uk - Nothing to do with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO.org).
The USPTO and DoC have given big business the controlled usage of all words.
The authorities have bastardized our language - they have taken all words away from us and make them fit for only one use - only as trademark system. It is a very bad system at that, used by only one supplier of each name, out of thousands worldwide.
Extract of 9 October email to DoC & USPTO:
"Here is an analogy, just for a moment imagine, if you will:
You go to your dictionary and look up definition for the word 'apple'. It says the following:
Apple - a maker of computers. This is the sole meaning; any other use will be a criminal offence."
> People do not realise what is possible. The increase in processing power grows daily. As are storage costs coming down. This will be the same as having somebody watching everything you do.
Comments like this are missing an important point: the big, bad, ugly government is simply not competent enough to do this.
Borogove, agreed - they are thick as s*. But, they have they resources (our taxes) to pay for it to be done. Usually well over budget.
I don't care about spooks watching me, because I really don't think I'm that interesting.
You may be happy to let them know what pulls your string and all your private business - I do not.
That doesn't mean that I think that our govenment is going to turn Evil overnight.
I am sorry, I cannot agree with you. Our Government LIES to us. The worse (or best - however you view it) example, is when they endangered millions of lives, saying beef was safe. Over 80 young people, so far, have died a horrific lingering death from nvCJD. Also, from personal experience, I know even using spin to rob the sick and disabled from benefit entitlement.
Why did the Members of Parliament make RIP Act LAW? They do not understand the consequences of it. To say they are ignorant is an understatement.
They believe any rubbish that they are told by their 'advisors'. By questioning it they think they look stupid.
By not doing so, it makes them look more dumb. They are imbeciles in the extreme.
Perverts and terrorists will find a way around these measures. Direct connected encryption or even blinking sending child porn CDs over postal service.
Only an idiot would believe the massive infrastructure that Government introduce is for monitoring these few thousand people. It can only be for spying on the masses. What about the law of presumed innocence?
People do not realise what is possible. The increase in processing power grows daily. As are storage costs coming down. This will be the same as having somebody watching everything you do. All your finances available for them to check - heaven help you if you cannot account for every penny when they check on your taxes. All your personal emotions in private emails, your fears about health worries and your personal quirks in web-sites you visit. All your inner-most secrets will be open to them.
With New Labours Newspeak (having to use the word 'investment' instead of 'spending') and this RIP Act - Big Brother has finally arrived.
Slashdot Mirror
ICANN only looks after the interests of big business.
.biz has been used so that it would conflict and delay the process again. They have been delaying all along - can you all not see that?
They have been hiding the solution to trademark problems - it is on my site - http://WIPO.org.uk - not the World Intellectual Property Organization.

You are an idiot, not suprised YOU keep your name secret!
The Oxford English Dictionary has the following definition.
SKILFUL
Endowed with reason; rational; also, following reason, doing right.
Reasonable, just, proper.
Having practical ability; possessing skill; expert, dexterous, clever.
This is the true English spelling.
Note the single L's
Quick lesson in logic:
Compare 2 pairs of trainers of similar quality in same shop - one pair is 4 or 5 times the price of the other.
Gee, I guess they are ripping us off. Unless you are telling me, they pay 80 percent of gross on advertising.
Same goes for other goods.
You are wrong - I have had several of my ideas copied.
Some are worth big money, but I do not complain about it.
IP is just an excuse for big business to overcharge people. It is easy to work that one out - just look at prices in shops.
Intellectual Property is greed - getting the most for an idea. It is all about profit. Big business screw people to get a bigger bottom line.
