Bad Complaint Allows Domain Owner CraftmaticBeds.org To Retain Domain - Didn't Even Respond To Complaint

If you watch any television at all over the last many years you have undoubtedly seen ads for Craftmatic beds. The complainant has a trademark for Craftmatic since 1985 and they make beds so this should have been a no-brainier decision in favor of the complainant.

Especially when the domain holder didn’t even respond to the complaint.

What Law Enforcement Would Like To Have You Do To Register A Domain

Michele Neylon, who runs Irish domain registrar Blacknight, just posted a blog entry about what he thinks the changes would mean for domain registrants.

The title is spot on: Don’t Make Us Treat Our Customers Like Criminals!

Neylon is well versed in ICANN and the current negotiations over the contract for domain registrars. He understands the nuance of every proposal out there. So it’s worth reading his take.

He also had recent experience partnering up with Google to give small businesses in Ireland a free web site. Most shied away from Ireland’s .ie domains since they had to jump through more hoops to register them — which is exactly what law enforcement wants to require of all domain registrants.

Apple Registers iPhone5.com Domain Name

Apple registers iPhone5.com domain name - The Samsung Galaxy S3 might be the most anticipated of all Android-powered phones for this year, but it will have a stiff competitor “on the job” so to speak, and that would be none other than the next generation iPhone from Apple.

Well, word has it that Apple has just registered the iPhone5.com domain name, with Bloomberg citing a source ‘with knowledge of the plans’ that points toward the inevitable release of the iPhone 5 in due time, which has also seen its fair share of input and involvement from the late Steve Jobs.

How To Avoid Losing Your Domain Name To The Competition

In the speed-of-light world of modern commerce, businesses that hesitate to stake out a Web presence are finding that they're very likely to be outmaneuvered. The never-ending battle for Google-search prominence has created a valuable incentive for competitors to snatch up domain names by the dozen, even if there's no intention of using them.
Called "cybersquatting," it's a practice that can be viewed as illegal, unethical -- or even perfectly legitimate -- depending on the specifics of the case and the perspectives of the people involved. And while there are multiple means of stopping someone from illegal cybersquatting, resolving these domain name disputes can become an expensive and uncertain process.  Read about it here...

Cyber Attackers Use DNS Poisoning to Hijack Website Domains & Divert Traffic
