Complainant Got A Real Spanking

[Dave Zan]

Just finished reading this UDRP decision from my email:

http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2006/d2006-1392.html

All that supplemental filings and they still lost.

Amazing. The domain was registered in 1998, the complainant filed a trademark in 2006 and still thought they had the rights to the domain simply because, well...because they thought so.

Also impressive that it was before a panel of three. I wonder how much laughing went on behind closed doors when they were deliberating?

You're right, Dave Zan, the complainant needs a real spanking but they would obviously enjoy it.

I don't think they actually "deliberate".

I think they use the 'coin flip' system majority of the time.

Two of the panelists were women. The mind boggles

Now if that isn't a case of "Attempted Reverse Domain Name Hijacking" I don't know what is.

Granted, they didn't find the complaintant, but still.

I think the coin flip is for a panel of one (that still does not ring right..."a panel of one").

I believe the proper protocol for a panel of three is the "paper, rock, scissors" mandate.

Surely your not implying some "deliberate" spanking behind closed doors?

Now if that isn't a case of "Attempted Reverse Domain Name Hijacking" I don't know what is.

I believe blatantly so. I would love to see this play out in a real court where the complainant has to act out or provide evidence of such a claim. I think I just wrote a script for their next film project with that statement?

Low-life reverse domain hijackers like that cause the prices of aftermarket domains to go UP.

I'd be suprised if the panel kept a straight face through that.

Browsers looking for “spanking material” may well use the same or similar words to search for such content.

Oh boy.

Another "generic term" wins, although site is parked.
