The SOPA bill must fail because it's not only unconstitutional but it also threatens to destroy the Internet

ACPA can protect your name even if you aren't a celebrity. I come across a number of lawsuits and UDRPs about celebrities and cybersquatting. But a decision handed down in district court in New York today is notable because it involves a non-celebrity who believed he was being extorted to pay big money for his

I don't have any legal expertise, so I generally stick to writing about UDRP filings that appear be fairly obvious. When Salesforce filed a UDRP for Forces.com, it bothered me quite a bit because of the descriptive nature of the domain name. It was also the first UDRP filed against the domain owner, and it
A couple of people emailed me in private to ask the timeline for ICANN's gTLD program rollout. I did a search, and I was able to find a pdf with the scheduled timeline (ICANN pdf). Keep in mind that the schedule was published at ICANN 41 in Singapore, which was held in June of 2011.
Morning Folks!! No, I am not blogging again.

I heard CNN.com long before I actually made it online. One of my...

When the story first broke about the Godaddy boycott or "move your domain away" movement to protest Godaddy's support of SOPA, it was two weeks ago on December 22nd.

Nothing wrong with protecting one's mark, service mark or trade mark. That's the reason the certification exists in the first place.

The story gets really interesting, considering that the owner ...
