FreeCreditReport.com Wins 1,017 Domains By UDRP

typosquatting writes to mention that the largest domain dispute case since the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) was enacted ten years ago has been decided. The decision saw 1,017 cyber-squatting domains turned over to ConsumerInfo.com, owner of FreeCreditReport.com. The full decision can be read via the National Arbitration Forum website. "It would seem that this decision sets or reinforces a fairly strong precedent that trademark holders may be entitled to, not only to the domain name that exactly matches their trademark, but also to a wide swath of other domain names including nearly every possible misspelling or other variation of that trademark, potentially even if the trademark is comprised of generic words."

I fell for the catchy jingle.

It's OK to admit it.

I own Awesomesauce.com Therefore, I should own autosauce.com, sillysauce.com, imawesome.com, holycrap.com, anyotherurl.com, In fact I think because the person trying to go to my URL might type in microsoft.com, I should get that too.

So guys from freecreditreport.com, cybersquatters, AND their lawyers were all in one courtroom at one time? Damn,there's never a suicide bomber around when you need one

I have a better solution. Instead of redirecting all of the common misspellings of big sites back to the correct spelling (the typist learns nothing). You could have every typo redirect to goatze and tubgirl. Spelling errors will plummet in weeks.

And welcome to the f'd up country that was founded by some British (et al) sons-a-bitches that were so into their f'd up God cult that they couldn't continue to fit in with the rest of the way too liberal (for the time) yet still f'd up God cultists in Europe. Don't be so hard on us though. In the last 230+ years we have at least keep the female breasts hidden. As far as banking here goes, just take your raping and move on. Never going to change. Us yanks are just too stupid and fearful (on average) to demand any better. Ya gets what ya deserves.

Only a concern for the American Empire wage slave

That worthless bullshit garbage means NOTHING outside the borders of the Empire.

Seriously, you can rack up tens of thousands in debt and just bounce to another country and get citizenship there leaving your silly social number and all that Imperial rabid consumerism as you get a new ID/identity for your new citizenship. All your three Master's can do then is cry into their platinum cups while sitting on their gold thrones on top of their titanium floors with embedded diamonds and pearls.

The only check you need is a reality check with this set of debt chains you Imperials so proudly wear for some asinine reason.
