All,
A new DN story, see:
A story in the Chicago Tribune about another domain-name battle. Quoting
the article: "As Chicago wages its battle to host the 2016 Olympics, it
also finds itself scrapping over a
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-thu-chicago2016-dotcom-battlsep18,0,6898818.story
valuable piece of cyberspace: the domain name of Chicago2016.com. The
bid team along with the U.S. Olympic Committee are trying to wrest that
online address from Stephen Frayne Jr., a 29-year-old MBA student.
Frayne snagged it back in 2004, about two years before the bid was
launched.
...
'We certainly see Chicago2016.com as the logical default domain for our
site, and we believe having someone else control it is misleading for
people seeking information about Chicago's bid,' said Patrick Sandusky,
a spokesman for Chicago 2016, a moniker protected by trademark.
