Ah yes, domain wars. According to this recent article Madonna recently got an order from the WIPO for a porn site owner to release Madonna.com to her. If you guys remember something similar happened with Sting a while back. Sting lost though. Wonder if it had anything to do with this time Madonna.com was a porn page (Thanks emitecaps)

United Nations' copyright intellectual property agency, ruled that New York web developer Dan Parisi had no trademark right to the name and failed to provide legitimate interest in the domain name.
Showing boobies to the world seemed pretty legit to me...

  • okay look, here's the real deal. I'm just annoyed at third party people for two reasons:

    1) they disapear for 4 years, when if they really supported their party, or if their party was really serious, they would work just as hard at getting members of their party in governorships, in the Senate, in Congress, hell everywhere. A third party with a significant piece of Congress is worth looking at, and would do soooo much more than a third party president.

    2) they have held small elected positions or none at all. You can't be a president if you don't start somewhere. I wouldn't want the CEO of a huge corporation to be someone fresh out of college with a B.S. because they have no experience. This fact somehow escapes people when the advocate the best person for a job.

    All joking aside, Bush has led an entire state, and they are pretty pleased with him for the most part. He has a vice president with experience in Washington as well.

    Gore has been Vice President, and therefore knows pretty damn well what the president's job will be. He has a vice president with Senate experience.

    One of these men will lead our country next year and rightfully so, they both have the experience and the advisors/cabinet men/staff to back them up successfully. Sorry, third party people, but Nader and Browne just don't. Why can't they get a senate seat or a governorship if they really want to have an impact?

  • Madonna.com
    We lost the WIPO case today. Our attorneys have asked us to keep quiet in regards to the decision until we figure what if anything we are going to do. One thing that we will say is that we were not happy that the lead panelist in the Madonna.com case Mr. Partridge is a trademark attorney who was the plaintiff lawyer in the Brunswick.com WIPO case D2000-0313. We also own Brunswicksucks.com and he knows that and yet he is lead panelist in this case. It is not fair to respondents to have plaintiff lawyers who represent complaintants to also sit as judges in these hearings. It is in their best interest to expand the laws to help their clients to the detriment of the respondents and of the general public. This case was about whether big business has the right to claim exclusive ownership of common words in the English Language and to take them out of the public domain and they ruled that big business has that right.
