[ga] UDRP abuse?: FreeCreditReport.com Wins 1,017 Domains By UDRP

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  The uglyness or the UDRP rises again, or is this a justified
result?  You be the judge.  When you have decided, let your
governmental representative know, and by all means notify the
UN and ICANN officials whom created the UDRP accordingly.

  Frankly at a minimum I find this dicision at least intelectually
offensive.

largest domain dispute case since the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute 
Resolution Policy (UDRP) was enacted ten years ago has been decided. 
The decision saw 1,017 cyber-squatting domains turned over to 
ConsumerInfo.com, owner of FreeCreditReport.com. The 
http://domains.adrforum.com/domains/decisions/1283469.htm full decision 
can be read via the National Arbitration Forum website. "It would 
seem that this decision sets or reinforces a fairly strong precedent 
that trademark holders may be entitled to, not only to the domain name 
that exactly matches their trademark, but also to a wide swath of 
other domain names including nearly every possible misspelling or 
other variation of that trademark, potentially even if the trademark 
is comprised of generic words."
